Description
This extended command executes the drmsqlbackup command to back up the SQL Server database
of the instance that was specified by the operation ID from the primary volume to the secondary
volume. When this extended command performs a backup, a backup ID is generated.
If the data files, databases, and other objects of the resolved instance exist on multiple volumes, all
primary volumes will be backed up to the secondary volumes. When an SQL Server instance is backed
up, an online backup is performed. If you specify an inactive instance when executing this extended
command, an error occurs.
The table below indicates the files that are backed up.
