2. Check that the storage group has been backed up 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 -target STORAGE_1
STORAGEGROUP: STORAGE_1
BACKUP-ID:0000000001 BACKUP-MODE: VSS STORAGEGROUP: STORAGE_1 ORIGINAL-ID:0000000001
START-TIME:2003/06/01 17:45:36 END-TIME: 2003/06/01 17:52:36

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
6. Back up the data of the secondary volume to a tape.
To back up the data, execute EX_DRM_TAPE_BACKUP on the backup server. In this example,
the drive containing the secondary volume is E:.
BKServer > EX_DRM_TAPE_BACKUP Operation_A -mount_pt E:
When you execute backup, information about this backup is registered in the backup catalog
with the new backup ID 0000000002.

This section provides an example of restoring data that has been backed up to tape, and recovering
a storage group. This example restores the data from tape to a secondary volume, and then restores
