NOTE:
If you use the -target or -f option, specify all the databases that are contained in the same logical
volume. If this is option is not specified, a command error occurs.
The backup information in the backup catalog is managed based on using the copy group as a key.
Depending on the backup method, you might not be able to perform restoration, even though the
backup data exists on the secondary volume. For further information, see the notes on running
Application Agent in the
HP XP7 Replication Manager Application Agent CLI User Guide
.
When specifying on the command line a file name or directory name containing space characters
for the -target option or -f option, you must enclose the file name in double quotation marks (").
Note that enclosing with double quotation marks is not necessary for target paths specified in batch
definition files.
If the following error occurred when you used the -script option, an error message is output from
the SQL Server following the user script error message because the database was thawed.
- An error occurs in a command specified by SPLIT_PROC when END_CODE in the user script file
is set to TERMINATE_NZ.
Return Values
0: Normal termination
Any value other than 0: Termination with an error
Examples
• In this example, the command is used to perform online backup of all databases in the instance
SQLDB:
PROMPT> drmsqlbackup SQLDB
• In this example, the command is used to perform online backup of databases DB01 and DB02 in
the instance SQLDB:
PROMPT> drmsqlbackup SQLDB -target DB01,DB02
• In this example, the command is used to perform backup by specifying the backup comment.
PROMPT> drmsqlbackup default -comment comment
KAVX0001-I drmsqlbackup command will now start.
KAVX1017-I SQL Server information will now be retrieved.
KAVX1207-I The database is being backed up.
KAVX0040-I The backup ID has been assigned as follows:
Backup ID = 0000000021
KAVX0002-I drmsqlbackup command will now end.
• In this example, the command is used to create the template of the backup catalog:
PROMPT> drmsqlbackup default -template
KAVX0001-I drmsqlbackup command will now start.
KAVX1017-I SQL Server information will now be retrieved.
