RMExch backup

SYNTAX

RMExch backup -mdb <mailbox_DB_name> -s <ExchangeServer> [-defer|-nc|-t

<Timestamp>] [-mpl] -vs <verification_server/backup_server> [-p

<policyName>] [-d <fullScheduleName>] [-m <masterServer>] [-mp

<“mountpoint”>] [-remove] [-noemail] [-dl DataListName] [-domain

<DomainName>]

DESCRIPTION

The RMExch backup command backs up a virtual copy to media, or creates a virtual copy and
backs up to media (also known as a quick backup). For the latter case, no timestamp is needed.

PARAMETERS

The following options are supported:

-mdb <mailbox_DB_name>

- The name of the mailbox database to back up.

-vs <verification_server/backup_server>

- The server on which to perform

verification and/or backup. This server must have a Recovery Manager for Exchange backup
server installed and access to the backup software (i.e., Symantec NetBackup or HP Data
Protector).

–t <Timestamp>

- Optional. The timestamp of the virtual copy to back up. Use if the virtual

copy has already been created. Do not use to create a virtual copy and then perform a backup.

-s <ExchangeServer>

- The name of the Exchange server.

–p <policyName>

- Symantec NetBackup policy name. Only valid if Symantec NetBackup

software is in use.

–d <fullScheduleName>

- Name of Symantec NetBackup backup schedule. Only valid

if Symantec NetBackup software is in use.

–m <masterServer>

- Name of the Symantec NetBackup master server. Only valid if

Symantec NetBackup software is in use.

-remove

- Optional. Used with quick backups. Specify this option to remove the virtual copy

after a quick backup.

If the policy is a numeric-based policy, the -remove option removes both the newly created
virtual copy and the oldest virtual copy.

NOTE:

HP does not recommend using the -remove option with the RMExch backup

command on virtual copies that use a numeric-based policy. If you want to automatically delete
the oldest virtual copy, configure the policy to remove the oldest virtual copy. For more
information, see the RMExch policy command.

If the policy specifies an expiration time or a retention time or both, this option overrides the
policy and removes the virtual copy immediately.

This option cannot be used with the -t option.

If the -remove option is not specified, by default the virtual copy is retained.

-nc

- Optional. Skips the integrity check (not recommended). This cannot be used with the

-t

option.

-defer

- Optional. Specify this option to defer the Exchange log truncation after the successful

backup is confirmed in automatic creation. This option cannot be used with the -t option.
