HP XP7 Replication Manager Application Agent CLI Reference Guide (TK981-96014, May 2014)

This file is created when the drmsqlbackup command is executed.
#3:
If you registered a VDI metafile storage directory by using the drmsqlinit command, the backup
file is stored in the registered directory. The file name is backup-ID_database-ID.dmp. If
you did not register a VDI metafile storage directory by using the drmsqlinit command, the
backup file is stored in the directory that contains the file with the smallest management number
(file_id) value for SQL Server in the database file. The file name is META_database-ID.dmp.
Arguments
instance-name
Specify the database instance to be backed up. If the instance to be backed up is the default, specify
DEFAULT.
-system
Specify this option to back up the system databases (master, model, and msdb), other than the
tempdb database, and all user databases. If this option is specified, SQL Server will be stopped
when the restoration is carried out.
-target database-names
Specify this option to back up a particular database in the specified instance.
When specifying multiple databases to be backed up, use a comma to separate each database name.
If you specify a database name containing a space character, enclose the database name in double
quotation marks ("). Make sure that you specify the database in the instance instance-name. If
you specify databases in separate instances, those databases will not be backed up.
The database names specified in this option will be registered in the backup catalog, and can be
checked using the drmsqlcat command.
To back up only system databases (master, model, and msdb), specify the databases to be backed
up and then execute the command.
-f target-definition-file-name
Like the -target option, this option performs a backup related to specific databases only. Unlike
the -target option, this option lets you specify a target definition file that collectively specifies all
the databases for which a backup is to be performed. The target definition file containing the list of
databases must be created before you attempt to use this option. Use an absolute path to specify the
target definition file. If you specify a target definition file name containing a space character, enclose
the target definition file name in double quotation marks (").
The database specified in the target definition file must exist in the specified instance. If you specify
databases in separate instances, those databases will not be backed up.
To back up only system databases (master, model, and msdb), specify the databases to be backed
up and then execute the command.
-rc name-identifying-the-generation
Use this option to specify the name identifying the generation of the copy group to be backed up.
Execute the drmsqldisplay command with the -cf option, and then specify the displayed
GEN-NAME value. In a single volume, a hyphen (-) appears. In this case, you cannot specify the -rc
option.
Always specify this option when backing up from a primary volume to a secondary volume on the
remote side. If this option is omitted, the secondary volume on the local side is backed up.
