drmumount command

The

drmumount

command unmounts a secondary volume. If the target volume has already been

unmounted, the command displays a warning that the target volume has been unmounted, and then
continues processing.

Before executing this command, all the application programs using the secondary volume to be
unmounted must be stopped.

The format of the command is as follows:

drmumount %DRMENV_R_BACKUPID%

where

%DRMENV_R_BACKUPID%

is an environment variable that automatically determines the ID of

the target volume.

Return values are 0 for normal termination; any other value indicates an error.

drmdbexport command

The

drmdbexport

command exports the backup information from the backup catalog to a file. You

can use the

drmdbimport

command to import data into a backup catalog on another server from

a file that contains the exported backup information. The

drmdbexport

command must be executed

from in the post-processing section of a user script.

The format of the command is as follows:

drmdbexport %DRMENV_R_BACKUPID% -f export-destination-file-name

The arguments are as follows:

%DRMENV_R_BACKUPID%

An environment variable that automatically determines the backup ID used to select the backup
catalog.

-f export-destination-file-name

Use an absolute path name to specify the file to which you want to export the backup information.
