-log_dirs
If this option is specified, only the directories are logged into the database. By
default, the filename and backup history of each backed up file is written to the
catalog database.
-log_file
All detailed information about backed up files and directories (filenames and
file versions) is logged to the Data Protector internal database (IDB). This
information allows you to search for backed up files and allows Data Protector
to fast position the tape. It also does not take much space since some information
on file details (file attributes) is not logged to the database.
-mode{Full| Incremental[1-9]}
Specifies the mode for the backup session. Full mode backs up all specified files.
Incremental[1-9] backs up only a subset of the specified files, based on
whether or not the files were modified since the last Full or lower-level
Incremental backup. Default is the Full mode. The level of incremental
backup is based on the level number which is specified. For example, an
incremental level 3 backs up only those files (of the specified files) which were
modified since the last incremental level 2 or lower backup.
-pool MediaPool
Instructs the Session Manager to use an alternate media pool for the backup. By
default, the default media pool for the backup device is used.
-prealloc MediaList
Specifies a list of media to be used for the backup. If the Media Allocation policy
for the pool is set to "strict", the media in the Prealloc list are used in the sequence
shown in the list. If one of these media is unavailable, a mount prompt is issued.
Note: If the Media Allocation Policy is "strict", you must specify a Prealloc list.
-protect{none | weeks n | days n | until Date | permanent}
Sets the level of error notification for the session. Errors are classified (in ascending
order) as: warning, minor, major and critical. When you select a level,
errors of this level and higher are displayed in the Monitor window. For example,
if major is selected, only major and critical errors are reported. By default,
all errors are reported.
-variable VariableName VariableValue
This option lets you specify a variable name and its value for proper operation
of some platforms and integrations, for example, for backing up and restoring
data on MPE/iX System. Setting user definable variables (a variable name and
its value) enables flexible operation on some platforms and integrations with
Data Protector. The list of variables and their values that are configurable with
Data Protector is dynamic and comes with Data Protector patches.
