To perform a backup by using VSS with a cascade configuration (Exchange Server 2007):
drmexgbackup -mode vss -cascade

Description
The drmexgbackup command backs up the Exchange database of a primary volume to a secondary
volume.
Depending on the version, Exchange Server can back up a database as follows.
Exchange Server 2007:
The entire database or a storage group can be backed up.
Exchange Server 2010 or Exchange Server 2013:
The entire database or an Information Store can be backed up.
Before you execute the drmexgbackup command, make sure that the database files and log files
are stored in separate copy groups.
Before this command is executed, the system cache of the secondary volume must be cleared. Mount
or unmount the secondary volume on the backup server to clear the system cache.
When the drmexgbackup command is executed on the local site, and the pair status is SMPL, the
command does not automatically create a pair. In this case, if the PAIR_CREATE parameter in the
RAID Manager-linkage definition file (DEFAULT.dat) is set to ENABLE, the command automatically
creates a pair.
After installation, if the drmexgbackup command is executed without executing the drmexgdisplay
command with the -refresh option specified, and no dictionary map files are created, the dictionary
map files are created using the drmexgbackup command. In this case, the processing time required
to create the dictionary map files are added to the time required to execute the backup command.
Backup can only be performed for files described in the following table.
