The SQL Server data files and transaction log files are stored in the same directory structures on
the local and remote sites.
Use Operation_A as the operation ID.
Backing up an SQL Server database to a remote site
The example provided below explains the operation used to back up a file system to a remote site.
Procedures at the local site and remote site are explained separately.
Operation at the local site
1. Check the volume to be backed up and its generation identifier.
To check the information, execute the drmsqldisplay command on the database server.
DBServer > drmsqldisplay default -cf

2. Back up the database to the remote-site secondary volume.
To back up the database to the remote-site secondary volume, execute EX_DRM_SQL_BACKUP,
in which remote_0 is specified as the backup destination generation identifier, on the database
server.
DBServer > EX_DRM_SQL_BACKUP Operation_A -rc remote_0
3. Check that backup was performed properly.
To check the backup information, execute drmsqlcat on the database server.
DBServer > drmsqlcat default
