Backing up storage groups to a secondary volume

This section describes the processing flow for backing up a storage group to a secondary volume on
a single-server system.

To back up a storage group:

1.

Resynchronize the copy groups.

Execute

EX_DRM_RESYNC

on the database server to resynchronize the copy groups. If there is

a big difference between the primary volume data and the secondary volume data when data
is backed up from the primary volume to the secondary volume, the backup might take a while.
Resynchronizing the copy groups before you perform a backup enhances the speed of backup
processing. In this example, the copy group name is

VG01,vol01

.

DBServer> EX_DRM_RESYNC Operation_A -cg VG01,vol01 -copy_size 7

2.

Back up the storage group to a secondary volume.

Execute

EX_DRM_EXG_BACKUP

to back up the storage group. Specify the operation ID

Operation_A

as the argument. In this example, delete the transaction log file to execute a cold

backup.

DBServer > EX_DRM_EXG_BACKUP Operation_A -mode vss -transact_log_del
