restored from a secondary volume to the primary volume.

To delete the backup data:

Execute the

drmresync

command, specifying the backup ID of the data to be deleted.

KAVX0001-I The drmresync command will now start.

KAVX0002-I The drmresync command will now end.

PROMPT>

When you execute this command, the primary volume and the secondary volume are
resynchronized and mirrored. Now the backup information of the specified backup ID is deleted
from the backup catalog.
