11.2.2 Operation commands

This section describes operation commands for backup management.

Note

All operational commands require that a Tape Server and its daemon be active. If a command is issued when either is not active, the command outputs a message and terminates with an error.

11.2.2.1 acmbackup (Backup command)

NAME

acmbackup - Backup of data

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

This command backs up transaction volume data.

The command works differently depending on the specified backup destination media and the status of the advanced copy that is being executed:

Before performing backup, AdvancedCopy Manager executes the backup pre-processing shell script (OpcBackup.pre) and tape copy pre-processing script (TapeCopy.pre). When backup is completed, it executes the backup post-processing shell script (OpcBackup.post) and tape copy post-processing script (TapeCopy.post).

For information on customizing these shell scripts, refer to "Appendix A Pre-processing and Post-processing of Backup, Restoration, and Tape Copy".

OPTIONS

For backup to both disks and tape, you may want to perform day management backup to tape. In this case, execute acmbackup with DISK specified in the -m option to perform backup to disk only, then execute acmtphistcopy with DAY specified in the -b option to create a day management tape history.

-Xdevmap Device-Map-File

Specifies a target backup volume to perform the snapshot fast backup. In the operand, specify a device map file in which a combination of a transaction volume and a target backup volume is described. If this option is not specified, the target backup volume will be automatically selected by the backup function. To execute this command on a remote basis using the -h option, specify a device map file (of a Storage Server) using an absolute pathname. A file name specified in Device-Map-File must not include any national characters.

-Xflush

Specifies the flushing of the file system buffer of the transaction volume instead of locking the transaction volume. Before this option is specified, all write processing on the transaction volume must be stopped. (During a backup process where the write processing is not stopped, the reliability of the transaction volume data is not guaranteed.)

The file system buffer can be flushed by specifying 'on' for BufferFlushOnly in the transaction volume locking specification file for backups instead of this option.

For details, refer to "Transaction volume locking specification file for backups" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide [For Windows]".

-suspend

This results in synchronous high-speed backup using the Suspend/Resume function.

This option cannot be specified if the -T option has been specified.

-T

Specifies that the differential snapshot high-speed backup be executed.

This option cannot be specified during synchronous processing.

This option is valid only for copying within a cabinet when the ETERNUS storage system supports the QuickOPC function.

If this option is not specified, ordinary snapshot processing (OPC without using the QuickOPC function) is started. This option must always be specified to perform backup using differential snapshots.

This option cannot be specified if TAPE has been specified in the -m option.

This option cannot be specified if the -suspend option has been specified.

-b Backup-Type

Specifies the management mode for writing backup data to tape.

  • Specify GEN for generation management backup.

  • Specify DAY for day management backup.

If this option is omitted, tape backup is performed in generation management mode.

If DISK is specified in the -m option, this option cannot be specified.

If BOTH is specified in the -m option, DAY cannot be specified in this option.

-m Media

Specifies the type of backup destination media.

  • Specify DISK for backup to disk.

  • Specify TAPE for backup to tape.

  • Specify BOTH for backup to disk and tape.

If this option is omitted, backup is performed to both disk and tape.

-o

Specifies that backup data be saved to tape without waiting for OPC copying to be completed.

Because this function causes writing backup data to tape to begin as soon as copying begins, it affects job server performance in regard to transaction volume access.

This option can be specified only if BOTH is specified in the -m option or the -m option is omitted.

This option cannot be specified for synchronous backup.

If the option is omitted, the command waits for OPC copying to be completed.

-w

Specifies that the command not wait for writing to tape to be completed.

If DISK or TAPE is specified in the -m option, this option cannot be specified.

If this option is omitted, the command is completed after waiting for writing to tape to be completed.

OPERANDS

Device-Name

For Solaris, Linux, HP-UX or AIX, specifies the block device name.

For Windows, specifies the AdvancedCopy Manager device name. For details on the AdvancedCopy Manager device name, refer to "Managing a Device on AdvancedCopy Manager" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide [For Windows]".

EXIT STATUS
