installDir : The program directory specified at the AdvancedCopy Manager's agent installation.
dbName : The name of the Mailbox database within the Mailbox Server selected in the wizard or public folder database name
date : The date for executing the wizard (yyyymmddhhmmss format)
In addition, along with the execute backup script file, the script file to delete the registered volume configuration set up by the Backup Wizard is stored in the backup source Mailbox Server under the file name shown below. Copy this script file to the folder in use, and if a volume configuration is changed, manually delete the registered volume configuration.

When a backup script is being created (after clicking Execute), other process may be kept waiting. Therefore, when any backup script is being created, do not perform any other process.
Information
Clicking Next on the database selection screen performs fetching device information (*1) for Mailbox Server and Backup server. Therefore, if you cancel the backup wizard after clicking Next on the database selection page, newly found device information by the backup wizard is kept reflected to AdvancedCopy Manager management information.
Though newly found device information exists in AdvancedCopy Manager management information, it does not affect the use of the backup wizard. However, to delete the device information from AdvancedCopy Manager management information, execute the stgxfwcmdeldev command. Refer to "Command References" in the AdvancedCopy Manager Operation Guide for information on the command.
*1: Refer to "Fetching Device Information on Managed Server" in "Replication" in the AdvancedCopy Manager Operation Guide for information on fetching device information.
