If

p is not specified
,
the user
is
prompted to enter the password
in a secure
fashion. HP recommends not specifying the password on the command line
.
The password must be at
least 8 characters long, but should not be your domain password.
For example:
mxexport
–
f c:
\
export.zip
–
p somepassword
Note:
A file name with spaces is considered a valid name; for example,
my
export.zip
.
In this example, the com
pressed file is saved to the root directory of the
C:
drive and is called
export.zip
. Since the password of
somepassword
was provided, future prompts for the password
are not seen.
