RMSql unmount
SYNTAX
RMSql unmount -s <SQL server> -t <timestamp>
DESCRIPTION
The RMSql unmount command unmounts a currently mounted virtual copy that was mounted by
the RMSql mount command. Recovery Manager for SQL can only unmount a virtual copy if its
mounted status is not “Available.”
PARAMETERS
The following options are supported:
-s <SQL server> The SQL server to which the database belongs.
-t <timestamp> The timestamp of the virtual copy to unmount.
NOTE: During an unmount operation, Recovery Manager for SQL removes the mount point from
the mounted volumes and then removes the mount point folder.
Running Recovery Manager as a Scheduled Job
In addition to creating virtual copies using the Command Line Interface, you can also use Windows
Scheduled Tasks (or Windows Task Scheduler, depending on your Windows OS) to schedule
automatic creation of virtual copies for a specific database.
NOTE: You can also use the Recovery Manager for SQL GUI to schedule automatic virtual copies.
For more information, see Scheduling Automatic Virtual Copies.
