in double quotation marks ("). If the backup-comment string contains a special character but is not
enclosed in double quotation marks, the special character is not properly handled as a part of the
backup-comment string and is parsed as a special character.
The following special characters cannot be used for backup comments:
\ / ` | < > " * ? & ; ( ) $
Note that the first character must not be a hyphen (-). If you specify two double quotation marks after
the -comment option, as in -comment "", no backup comment will be registered in the backup
catalog.
-vf VSS-definition-file-name
Specify this option to switch the settings to be used for each VSS backup. You can use this option
only when using VSS for backups. For VSS-definition-file-name, specify a file name only.
Do not specify the folder name. The VSS definition file specified in this option must be stored in the
following folder:
Application-Agent-installation-directory\DRM\conf\vss
If you omit this option, the command uses the following file as the VSS definition file:
Application-Agent-installation-directory\DRM\conf\vsscom.conf
If you use the -cascade option with this option, the backup server defined in the cascade configuration
information definition file is used. The backup server defined in the VSS definition file is ignored.
For details about the VSS definition file, see the HP XP7 Replication Manager Application Agent CLI
User Guide.
-script user-script-file-name
Specify this option to execute a user script. Use an absolute path to specify
user-script-file-name. Conditions for specifying user-script-file-name are as follows:
• Maximum number of bytes: 255
• Available characters: Characters that can be used in a file name in Windows. If the name contains
one or more space characters, the entire name string must be enclosed in double quotation marks
(").
For details about the coding used for a user script file, see the description of how to create a user
script in the HP XP7 Replication Manager Application Agent CLI User Guide.
If you specified LOCATION=REMOTE in the user script file, you must also specify the -s option.
-s backup-server-name
Specify this option to connect to a remote backup server to perform a backup. Specify the host name
or the IP address of the backup server by using a character string that is no more than 255 bytes.
You can specify the IP address in IPv4 or IPv6 format.
If you specify a backup server by using the -s option, the backup server names specified in the VSS
definition file (vsscom.conf) and in the VSS definition file specified by using the -vf option are
ignored, and the backup server name specified in the -s option is used.
This option must not be specified concurrently with the -cascade option.
-auto_import
Specify this option to automatically transfer a backup catalog to a backup server after backing up a
volume. This option must be specified concurrently with the -s or -cascade option.
