Backing up and restoring a file system by using a file share

When backup information is transferred between a file server and a backup server, extended
commands (

EX_DRM_FTP_PUT

or

EX_DRM_FTP_GET

) are normally used to transfer the information

in an FTP operation. Instead of FTP, however, file sharing can also be used to copy backup information
from server to server. The following subsections describe examples of backing up or restoring a file
system by using a file share.

Preparing to back up or restore a file system by using a file share

To prepare for backing up or restoring a file system by using a file share:

1.

Check the temporary directory for extended commands that was created automatically by the
check tool for operation definition files.

For more information about the temporary directory for extended commands, see

Checking the

temporary directory for extended commands
