Examples
• In this example, the command is used to resynchronize the copy group VG01,dev01:
PROMPT> drmresync -copy_group VG01,dev01
• In this example, the command is used to lock the copy groups used in the backup identified by
the backup ID 0000000001:
PROMPT> drmresync -backup_id 0000000001
Basic command specifications (Tape-related commands)
drmmediabackup (Backs up data from a secondary volume to a tape device)
Format
drmmediabackup backup-ID [ -raw ] [ -bkdir backup-file-directory ]
[ -bup_env configuration-definition-file-name ]
Description
The drmmediabackup command backs up data to a tape device based on the backup information
specified by the backup ID. Before executing this command, you must mount the secondary volume
to the mount point directory on the backup server. Use the drmmount command to mount the secondary
volume, and specify the backup ID in the argument. Additionally, after executing the drmmediabackup
command, execute the drmumount command to unmount the mounted secondary volume.
The drmmediarestore command can restore data backed up by the drmmediabackup command.
Before executing the drmmediabackup command, confirm the following:
• The volume is linked to the backup management product.
• The drmmount command has been executed with a backup ID specified and the secondary volume
to be backed up has been mounted.
• A definition file for the tape backup has been created.
• The secondary volume is not in the mirror status.
If an error occurs during execution of the drmmediabackup command, check the contents of the
trace log of the backup management product that is provided by Application Agent. Then, take action
for the error according to what was output to the log.
For NetBackup
The trace log is output to the following file:
Application-Agent-installation-directory\DRM\log\drm_nbu_backup.log
For Backup Exec
Application Agent does not provide trace logs for Backup Exec. If an error occurred, check the
log provided by Backup Exec, or use the GUI to check the status, and then take appropriate action.
Take the command retry period into consideration when you execute more than one drmmediabackup
command concurrently. For details about the settings, see notes on command execution in the HP XP7
Replication Manager Application Agent CLI User Guide.
