The verbose option specifies that you want to display detailed processing information on your screen. This is the default.
When you run the incremental, selective, or archive commands, information is displayed about each file that is backed up. Use the quiet option if you do not want to display this information.
The following behavior applies when using the verbose and quiet options:
- If the server specifies either the quiet or verbose option in the server client option set, the server settings override the client values, even if force is set to no on the server.
- If you specify quiet in your dsm.opt file, and you specify -verbose on the command line, -verbose prevails.
- If you specify both -quiet and -verbose on the same command, the last option encountered during options processing prevails. If you specify -quiet -verbose, -verbose prevails. If you specify -verbose -quiet, -quiet prevails.
The information is displayed on your screen
in the Scheduler Status window. This option only applies when you
are running the scheduler and Tivoli® Storage Manager is
performing scheduled work.
