To use VSS to back up a file system:
1. Back up the file system to the secondary volume.
Use VSS to back up the file system to the secondary volume. To do this, execute
EX_DRM_FS_BACKUP. Specify the operation ID Operation_A as the argument.
FSServer > EX_DRM_FS_BACKUP Operation_A -mode vss
2. Check that backup was performed correctly.
To check that backup information bearing the date on which the file system had been backed
up from the primary volume to the secondary volume is available, execute the drmfscat command
on the file server.
FSServer > drmfscat E:
INSTANCE: E:
BACKUP-ID:0000000001 BACKUP-MODE: VSS INSTANCE: E: ORIGINAL-ID:0000000001
START-TIME: 2003/08/01 19:00:00 END-TIME: 2003/08/01 19:03:00

In this example, information about the backup operation carried out in step 1 has been loaded
in the backup catalog with the new backup ID 0000000001.
3. Export the backup information to temporary files.
To perform backup from the secondary volume to tape, you need to copy information, about the
backup operations from the primary volume to the secondary volume, 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.
Transfer the temporary files in batch, 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 transferred from the file server, into the backup catalog of the backup
server.
Import the temporary files transferred from the file server, into the backup catalog of 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.
