• Virtual server name (value of the DRM_HOSTNAME environment variable)
If the DRM_HOSTNAME environment variable has not been set, a hyphen (-) appears.
-comment backup-comment
Specify this option to display only information on a specific backup comment.
The backup-comment value is not case sensitive.
You can use an asterisk (*) to specify a wildcard in backup-comment. You can specify that only
the initial characters match (for example, specify a string such as XYZ* to search for strings that begin
with one or more specific characters and that end with any or no characters). When a wildcard,
special character, or one-byte space character is used, the entire backup-comment string must be
enclosed 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. If you specify -comment "*",
the command will display all backup catalogs.
If two double quotation marks are specified after the -comment option (as in -comment ""), a
message is displayed indicating that no backup data exists.
-template
Specify this option to display template catalog information.
The times at which the creation of a template catalog starts and ends are displayed in START-TIME
and END-TIME, respectively.
The template catalogs displayed when this option is specified are only those for the SQL Server
database for which backup operations are to be performed.
-delete
Specify this option to delete the backup information for the backup catalog.
Return Values
0: Normal termination
Any value other than 0: Termination with an error
Examples
• In this example, the command, with the host name stdg7 specified, is used to display the detailed
backup catalog list:
