3. Export the information about the backup to temporary files.
To back up data from the secondary volume to a tape, you must copy information about the
backup that was performed from the primary volume to the secondary volume. Copy this
information to the backup server. To export information about backup to temporary files, execute
EX_DRM_DB_EXPORT. The temporary files are stored in the temporary directory for extended
commands, on the file server.
FSServer > EX_DRM_DB_EXPORT Operation_A
4. Transfer the temporary files to the backup server.
Batch-transfer the temporary files from the file server to the backup server. To transfer the files,
execute EX_DRM_FTP_PUT on the file server. In this example, the user ID used for logon to the
FTP server is admin and the password is password. The temporary files are stored in the
temporary directory for extended commands, on the backup server.
FSServer > EX_DRM_FTP_PUT Operation_A -server BKServer -user admin -password password
5. Import the temporary files, which were transferred from the file server, into the backup catalog
on the backup server.
Import the temporary files, which were transferred from the file server, into the backup catalog
on the backup server. To import the temporary files, execute EX_DRM_DB_IMPORT on the backup
server.
BKServer > EX_DRM_DB_IMPORT Operation_A
6. Check that the temporary files have been imported correctly.
To check that backup information bearing the date on which the temporary files had been backed
up from the primary volume to the secondary volume has been imported on the backup server,
execute the drmfscat command on the backup server.
7. Back up the data from the secondary volume to a tape.
To back up the data, execute EX_DRM_TAPE_BACKUP on the backup server. For the tape backup
mount point, specify the E drive (drive letter E:).
BKServer > EX_DRM_TAPE_BACKUP Operation_A -mount_pt E:
Executing a backup in this example will load information about the backup operation in the
backup catalog with new backup ID 0000000002.
8. Check that the file system has been backed up correctly.
To check that backup information bearing the date on which the file system had been backed
up from the secondary volume to tape is available, execute the drmtapecat command on the
backup server.
Backup using VSS
The following explains an example of using VSS to back up a file system to tape. When VSS is used,
backup is performed with the disk drive mounted. In this example, using VSS we back up the file
server FSServer to a secondary volume. Then we back it up from a secondary volume to tape, using
the E: drive for the mount point. Operation_A is used as the operation ID.
To make a backup by using VSS, the Protection Manager service must be running on the backup
server.
