Backing up a file system to a secondary volume

This section provides an example of backing up the mount point

E:

on the file server

FSServer

to

a secondary volume in an online backup operation. Use

Operation_A

as an operation ID to identify

the object to be backed up.

To back up the file system:

1.

Resynchronize the copy groups.

Execute

EX_DRM_RESYNC

on the file 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 backup enhances the speed of backup
processing. In the following example,

VG01,vol01

is a copy group name:

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

2.

Back up the file system to the secondary volume.

Execute

EX_DRM_FS_BACKUP

to back up the file system to the secondary volume. Specify the

operation ID

Operation_A

as the argument.

FSServer > EX_DRM_FS_BACKUP Operation_A
