Backing up storage groups to secondary volumes
This section describes the processing flow for backing up a storage group to a secondary volumes in
a single-server system.
To back up a storage group:
1. Resynchronize the copy groups.
Execute EX_DRM_RESYNC on the database server to resynchronize the copy groups.
Resynchronizing the copy groups before you perform a backup enhances the speed of backup
processing. In this example, the copy group name is VG01,vol01.
DBServer> EX_DRM_RESYNC Operation_A -cg VG01,vol01 -copy_size 7
2. Back up the storage group to a secondary volume.
Back up the storage group. To perform a backup, execute EX_DRM_EXG_BACKUP. Specify the
operation ID Operation_A as the argument. In this example, delete the transaction log file to
execute a cold backup.
DBServer > EX_DRM_EXG_BACKUP Operation_A -mode vss -transact_log_del
Restoring storage groups to primary volumes
This section explains how to restore a storage group when backup data has been saved on a secondary
volume. This example restores the data from the secondary volume to the primary volume by
resynchronizing the volumes.
