• In this example, the command is used to delete the backups of the transaction log backup files
with backup ID 0000000020 and with a log backup ID from 0001 to 0003:
PROMPT> drmsqllogbackup 0000000021 -d -s 0001 -e 0003
• In this example, the command is used to display information on the backups of the transaction log
backup files when two databases in the instance default have been backed up at different times
with different backup IDs.
Creating a transaction log target definition file:
Backup ID for the database userDB1: 0000000002
Backup ID for the database userDB2: 0000000003
PROMPT> drmsqllogbackup DEFAULT -v
# ORIGINAL-ID:0000000002 BACKUP-ID:0000000002 --> This line is handled as a comment line.

PROMPT>
In this example, the command is used to list information for the backup IDs for the instance:
PROMPT> drmsqllogbackup DEFAULT -v BACKUP-ID
ORIGINAL-ID BACKUP-ID DB
0000000002 0000000002 userDB1
0000000003 0000000003 userDB2
PROMPT>
• In this example, the command is used to list information for the backup IDs when multiple databases
have been backed up at one time for the instance default.
PROMPT> drmsqllogbackup DEFAULT -v BACKUP-ID
ORIGINAL-ID BACKUP-ID DB
0000000002 0000000002 userDB1,userDB2 -->
Displays comma-separated information.
0000000003 0000000003 userDB2
PROMPT>
• In this example, the command is used to display the backup information of the transaction log
obtained with the -no_cat option:
