- 3 Support and other resources
- Index

Specify this option to automatically mount a secondary volume on a backup server after backing up
a volume. This option must be specified concurrently with the -s and -auto_import options.
Specify mount-point-directory-name by using a character string of up to 64 bytes.
If you omit the mount-point-directory-name parameter, a mount destination for a secondary
volume is automatically determined. This destination is determined in the same way as when using
the drmmount command without specifying a mount point.
Execute the drmumount command to unmount the mounted secondary volume. In the argument of
the drmumount command, specify the backup ID.
-svol_check
Specify this option to check the status of a secondary volume on a backup server. This option must
be specified concurrently with the -s option. Checking the status of a secondary volume prevents
backup or restoration failures. The items, volumes, and conditions to be checked are described in the
following table.
Table 38 Status check of a secondary volume
Check condition
Volume to be
checked
Check item
Checked when a primary volume is defined in pairs with
multiple generations of secondary volumes, and when either
of the following conditions is satisfied:
• A primary volume is a cluster resource.
• A primary volume is a dynamic disk.
All secondary
volumes defined for
a backup-target
primary volume
A secondary volume
is hidden from a
backup server
Always checked.
The secondary
volume to be the next
backup destination
A secondary volume
is not mounted on a
backup server
-template
Specify this option to create only a backup catalog, without resynchronizing or splitting pairs, or
freezing databases.
Even if you create a template catalog with the -template option specified, the old metafile will be
deleted.
For example, in a two-generation environment, suppose that the following commands are executed:
1. Execute drmsqlbackup default.
2. Execute drmsqlbackup default
3. Execute drmsqlbackup default -template
In this case, after performing step 3, the metafile and catalog acquired by performing step 1 are
deleted.
This backup catalog can only be used for restoring data backed up remotely.
