To back up a storage group in a cold backup:
1. Back up the storage group to a secondary volume.
Perform a cold back up of the storage group. To perform backup, execute EX_DRM_EXG_BACKUP.
Specify the operation ID Operation_A as the argument. In the following example, the command
deletes the transaction log file and backs up the database:
DBServer > EX_DRM_EXG_BACKUP Operation_A -mode cold -transact_log_del
2. Check that the storage group has been backed correctly.
To check that backup information bearing the date on which the storage group had been backed
up from the primary volume to the secondary volume is available, execute the drmexgcat
command on the database server.
DBServer> drmexgcat
STORAGEGROUP: STORAGE_1
BACKUP-ID:0000000001 BACKUP-MODE: COLD STORAGEGROUP: STORAGE_1 ORIGINAL-ID:0000000001

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 back up data from the secondary volume to a tape, you must copy information about 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. Temporary files are stored in the temporary folder for extended commands,
on the database server.
DBServer > EX_DRM_DB_EXPORT Operation_A
4. Transfer the temporary files to the backup server.
Batch-transfer the temporary files from the database server to the backup server. To transfer the
files, execute EX_DRM_FTP_PUT on the database server. In this example, the user ID used for
logon to the FTP server is admin and the password is password. Temporary files are stored in
the temporary folder for extended commands, on the backup server.
DBServer > EX_DRM_FTP_PUT Operation_A -server BKServer -user admin -password password
5. Import the temporary files, which were transmitted from the database server, into the backup
catalog on the backup server.
To import the temporary files, which were transmitted from the database server, into the backup
catalog on the backup server, execute EX_DRM_DB_IMPORT on the backup server.
BKServer > EX_DRM_DB_IMPORT Operation_A
