ADSM database backup to a file.
Hi everyone, Can i backup my adsm db into a file because i usually backed up into tapes using the devclass. if possible, please provide the commands or steps how to do it and how to restore it. thanks, zosi
Re: ADSM database backup to a file.
hello, 1)you have to define a devclass of deftype FILE e.g adsm def devc dbbackup devt=FILE direc=/dir/for/backups 2)then you can simply perform a dbbackup eg: dsmc backup db devc=dbbackup type=full vol=name_of_backup_file 3)with DSMSERV RESTORE DB you can restore youradsm db / you need a good DEVCONFIG file and VOLUMEHISTORY file( its good to have a look in the manual befor you do this ;-) herfried "Zosimo Noriega (ADNOC IST)" [EMAIL PROTECTED]@VM.MARIST.EDU on 10.04.2001 08:10:17 Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: ADSM database backup to a file.
