- Index
When the drmfsbackup 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 drmfsbackup command is executed without executing the drmfsdisplay
command with the -refresh option specified, and no dictionary map files are created, the dictionary
map files are created by using the drmfsbackup command. In this case, the processing time required
to create the dictionary map files is added to the time required to execute the backup command.
Arguments
mount-point-directory-name
Specify the mount point directory for the file system you want to back up. You must specify the drive
letter for a mounted file system or the absolute path beginning with the drive letter.
You must specify the drive letter for a mounted file system or the absolute path from the drive letter.
Specify the drive letter of the name of the mount point directory to which the secondary volume is to
be mounted, or specify the absolute path from the drive letter.
The mount point directory name must satisfy the following:
• Maximum number of characters: Path lengths to be specified must comply with the specifications
of the mount and unmount functions provided by RAID Manager.
This limitation applies to the length of the path to which the volume subject to cold backup opera-
tions has been mounted.
• Characters: Characters that can be used for directory names in Windows (excluding space char-
acters)
Do not specify a backslash (\) at the end of the path.
mount-point-directory-target-definition-file-name
Specify the name of the definition file that specifies the mount point directories for the file systems you
want to back up. To specify this file, you must specify the file name alone. The following shows where
the target definition file for mount point directories is stored and gives examples of specifying the file.
Location of the file:
Application-Agent-installation-directory\DRM\conf\fs
Example of specifying the file:
D:
E:
F:\MNT
Specify the mount point directory name by following the following rules:
• Use an absolute path.
• Do not specify a backslash (\) at the end of the path.
-mode online
Specify this option to perform an online backup. This will perform a backup without unmounting the
file system.
If you specify an online backup for a file system, only resynchronization processing for the file system
will be performed before the online backup. If applications using the file system are not prevented
from updating data, the validity of the backed up data cannot be guaranteed.
