Immediately starts a post-backup object consolidation specification specified by
the -session SessionID option.
-session SessionID
If specified with the -postbackup option, provides the session ID for the
post-backup object consolidation session.
If specified as part of the object definition, selects the point in time for object
consolidation.
-dynamic min max
Specifies how many devices are locked prior to starting a session. Devices that
are specified per object through the -targetdevice option are locked in any
case. The max value is increased by Data Protector if the number of statically
assigned devices is higher than the specified max value.
Min specifies the minimum number of available devices (devices that are not
being used by another Data Protector session and have the license to be started)
required for starting the session. If fewer devices are available than specified
here, the session will queue. The default is 1.
Max specifies the maximum number of available devices that Data Protector will
use in the session. The highest number you can specify is 32. The default is 5.
Data Protector will lock the number of devices that you specify using this
parameter if so many devices are available. If this option is not specified, the
default value for max is the number of specified devices.
-protect{none | weeks n | days n | until Date | permanent}
Sets a period of protection for the consolidated data on the backup medium to
prevent the data from being overwritten. If this option is not specified, the data
protection of the consolidated objects is the same as the protection of the full
backup of the objects. If a relative period of protection was set for the full backup,
such as n days or weeks, the same protection period is counted from the creation
time of the synthetic full backup.
-keepcatalog{weeks n | days n | until Date |
same_as_data_protection}
Specifies file catalog retention time. If you do not want to save the file catalog,
use the -no_log option. If this option is not specified, the catalog protection of
the consolidated objects is the same as the catalog protection of the full backup
of the objects. If a relative period of catalog protection was set for the full backup,
such as n days or weeks, the same protection period is counted from the creation
time of the synthetic full backup.
-log
Specifies the logging level of the object consolidation session. All detailed
