Starting the backup

To start the online backup of all Lotus® server using the QLTSSVR backup control group in your current job, enter the following command after loading the media into the devices.

STRBKUBRM CTLGRP(QLTSSVR) SBMJOB(*NO)

During the backup processing, you might encounter messages that require user intervention such as loading a tape. A message symbol at the bottom of the screen might appear, indicating that a message has been sent to the system operator for a reply. To view the system operator messages, press the SYS REQ key, enter a 6 on the line at the bottom of the screen, and then press Enter to go to the Display Messages panel for the system operator. Position the cursor over the message requiring a reply and press the F1 key to see more information about how to handle the message. Perform the corrective action, enter a reply to the message, and then press Enter. Return to your interactive session using the F12 key.

The processing time of the backup will depend on system processor size, device capabilities, amount of data being saved, and activity associated with your Lotus server.

After completion of the backup, review the job log to ensure that the backup completed successfully. To display the job log, enter the following command:

DSPJOBLOG

On the display, press F10 and page up to see the details of any messages logged during backup processing.

Note:
BRMS stores the history of the objects saved during the backup into database files located in library QUSRBRM. The Automatically backup media information attribute in the backup control groups directs BRMS to automatically back up this information when the backup ends. This data is saved because it is necessary for BRMS to successfully recover the system.
