IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail, Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange Server, Version 7.1

Examples: backup command

Examples of how to use the backup command are given.

This example shows how to run a full VSS backup of exactly one copy of a database that contains multiple copies in an Exchange Server Database Availability Group (DAG). The command instructs Data Protection for Exchange to back up only the database KEENVM1_M_DB1 if a minimum of 60 minutes passes since the latest backup of the database, and if no other member in the FCMDAG2 Database Availability Group is backing it up. Include this command in a command script (for example, c:\backup.cmd). Then, define a Tivoli® Storage Manager schedule that starts this command script, and associate all DAG nodes to this schedule.
tdpexcc backup KEENVM1_M_DB1 full /minimumbackupinterval=60
This example shows how to run a full VSS backup of one healthy passive copy of a database that contains multiple copies in an Exchange Server Database Availability Group (DAG). If a healthy passive copy is not available, the active database copy is backed up. The command instructs Data Protection for Exchange to back up only the passive copy of database KEENVM1_M_DB1 if a minimum of 60 minutes passes since the latest backup of the database, and if no other member in the FCMDAG2 Database Availability Group is backing it up. If no passive database copy is available, back up the active database copy. Include this command in a command script (for example, c:\backup.cmd). Define a Tivoli Storage Manager schedule that starts this command script, and associate all DAG nodes to this schedule.
tdpexcc backup KEENVM1_M_DB1 full /minimumbackupinterval=60 /preferdagpassive
