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.\

	bex.exe -ibex.ini -c “backup define -nMyFirstJob -tbackup_base 
        -f c:\\tmp\\MyFirstJob.cmd”
