Syntax and Usage for Backup Script

---

You can take a manual backup using the following syntax:

	LMS 2.6/LMS 2.6 SP 1	LMS 3.0/LMS 3.0 December 2007 Update/LMS 3.1
Syntax	wrapper.pl	backup.pl
On Solaris	NMSROOT/bin/perl dir1/wrapper.pl BKP Logfile	NMSROOT/bin/perl NMSROOT/bin/backup.pl BKP [Logfile] [Num_Generations]
On Windows	NMSROOT\bin\perl dir1\wrapper.pl BKP Logfile	NMSROOT\bin\perl NMSROOT\bin\backup.pl BKP [Logfile] [Num_Generations]

You can take selective backup using the following syntax:

	LMS 3.2
Syntax	backup.pl
On Solaris	/opt/CSCOpx/bin/perl /opt/CSCOpx/bin/backup.pl -dest=BackupDirectory -system [-log=LogFile] [-gen=Num_Generations]
On Windows	NMSROOT\bin\perl NMSROOT\bin\backup.pl -dest=BackupDirectory -system [-log=LogFile] [-gen=Num_Generations]

The following table lists the explanation for the syntax:

Syntax	Explanation
NMSROOT	Common Services installation directory (by default, /opt/CSCOpx for Solaris, and C:\Program Files\CSCOpx for Windows, where C: is the System Drive)
dir1	Directory where you have extracted wrapper.pl
BKP	Backup directory where you have backed up data using wrapper.pl or backup.pl
Logfile	Log file name that contains the details of the backup. The default location of the backup log file (dbbackup.log) is: •NMSROOT\CSCOpx\log\ (On Windows) •/var/adm/CSCOpx/log/ (On Solaris)
BackupDirectory	Directory that you want to be your Backup directory.
Num_Generations	Maximum backup generations to be kept in the backup directory.
