- Index
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.
If you omit name-identifying-the-generation, the secondary volume that has the smallest
value among the generation numbers on the remote-side becomes the backup destination. In this case,
the generation number is remote_n, where n is the smallest generation number.
-pf copy-parameter-definition-file
Specify this option when using the number of retries and the retry interval defined in the copy parameter
definition file. Specify only the file name, without specifying the path.
When you omit this option, the value of the RAID Manager-linkage definition file (DEFAULT.dat) is
used. The value of the RAID Manager-linkage definition file (DEFAULT.dat) is used for parameters
that are not coded in the copy parameter definition file.
Create the copy parameter definition file with an arbitrary name in the location below. Specify the
file name by using an alphanumeric character string that is 64 bytes or less.
Application-Agent-installation-directory\DRM\conf\raid
You cannot specify this option with the -cascade option.
-transact_log_del
Specify this option to delete the committed transaction log files.
When this command is executed, the transaction log file is deleted. This means that you will no longer
be able to use the -recovery option to perform restoration from backups already performed.
-noverify
Specify this option if you do not verify the integrity of a database that is backed up by using VSS.
-noverify_log_del
Specify this option if you delete a transaction log file after backing up a database that is backed up
by using VSS without verifying its integrity.
-event_check
Specify this option to check whether an event indicating a corrupted database has been recorded.
The command executed with this option searches the Windows event log data that was recorded
since the last backup of an Exchange database. If no previous backup is available, all data recorded
in the Windows event log is searched.
The Windows event log is searched before the copy pair is resynchronized. If an event indicating a
corrupt database is detected, the command terminates in an error.
Application Agent determines that a database is corrupt by the following event details:
• Event category: Application
• Type: Error
• Source: ESE
• Event ID: No limitation
• Character string being included: -1018, -1019, or -1022
-comment backup-comment
Specify this option to register a backup comment in the backup catalog.
The backup-comment value can be a string of up to 64 bytes, consisting of alphanumeric, special,
one-byte space, and multi-byte characters. The backup comment is case sensitive. When a special
character, or a one-byte space character is used, the entire backup-comment string must be enclosed
