volume groups and logical volumes ensure that the AIX mirrors for these
resources can actually be split. This process will generate output that
includes the reasons why a specified resource may not have it’s AIX mirror
split, as well as, indicating which of the specified resources did pass the
validation process. Additionally, the Offline Mirror backup process will not
execute, only validate. It is recommended that you perform this preview
operation before attempting to begin your Offline Mirror backup. This flag
is optional.

Use this option to specify the path and file name of a Backup Command

mirror can not be split for some reason. Without specifying this flag, the
