Description
The drmtapecat command lists the backup information about tape backups, which is stored in the
backup catalog on the server where the command was executed. The backup catalog displayed is
that created with the drmmediabackup command. By checking the backup information, you can
confirm information about the objects corresponding to the backup ID, and hence confirm the backup
ID to be used for restoration.
The backup information for the backup from the primary volume to the secondary volume contains
the information about the primary volume that stores objects that were backed up onto a tape device,
and the information about the database files that were backed up.
The following table shows the backup information, from the secondary volume to a tape device, which
is displayed when the drmtapecat command is executed.
