Defining Backup Jobs

The following are examples of job definition files (MyFirstJob.cmd and MySecondJob.cmd) that can be imported from the command line:

• MyFirstJob.cmd\

    OPTIONS "TAPEWAITINTERVAL 20; TASKRETRYCOUNT 5; TWIN N; TWINTAPEOFFSITE N; 
    VERIFYLEVEL 0;"; BACKUP NODE(EHANSEN WINNT)
  
    DISK (C: NTFS)
  
    SELECT (I "\\tmp\\*")
  
    TAPEPOOL DISKDIRECTORY DEVICEPOOL DISKDIRECTORY;

• MySecondJob.cmd\

    OPTIONS "TAPEWAITINTERVAL 20; TASKRETRYCOUNT 5; TWIN N; TWINTAPEOFFSITE N; 
    VERIFYLEVEL 1;"; BACKUP NODE (sun UNIX)
  
    SELECT (I "/home/rich/another_world/*")
  
    TAPEPOOL 4MM\_TPOOL DEVICEPOOL Master\_Drives;

• MyThirdJob.cmd\

    OPTIONS "RETENTION 30";
  
    BACKUP NODE (NodeName WINNT) SNAPDEVICE "FilerName:/vol/VolumeName";

After defining these files, you must run the command line utility BEX to define the job. Note that the environment variables <SSPRODIR> and <SSICMAPI> should be set before running commands, which can be accomplished by first executing "Setenv.bat" from the tools folder of the application.\

        -f c:\\tmp\\MyFirstJob.cmd”
