3. Resynchronize the copy group.
Execute EX_DRM_RESYNC on the database server to resynchronize the copy groups. If there is
a big difference between the primary volume data and the secondary volume data when data
is backed up from the primary volume to the secondary volume, the backup might take a while.
You can facilitate backup processing by resynchronizing the copy group in advance.
DBServer > EX_DRM_RESYNC Operation_A -cg_file C:\temp\CGLIST.txt
-copy_size 7
Backing up an SQL Server database
To back up an SQL Server database:
1. Back up the SQL Server database from the primary volume to the secondary volume.
DBServer > EX_DRM_SQL_BACKUP Operation_A
2. Export the backup information to temporary files.
DBServer > EX_DRM_DB_EXPORT Operation_A
3. Save the metafile created when backing up in the temporary folder.
DBServer > EX_DRM_SQLFILE_PACK Operation_A
4. Transfer the metafile and the temporary file to the backup server.
DBServer > EX_DRM_FTP_PUT Operation_A -server BKServer -user admin -password password
5. Import the temporary file transferred from the database server in the backup catalog of the backup
server.
BKServer > EX_DRM_DB_IMPORT Operation_A
6. Expand the metafile transferred from the database server to the backup server.
BKServer > EX_DRM_SQLFILE_EXTRACT Operation_A
7. Back up the data of the secondary volume to tape.
To back up, execute the EX_DRM_TAPE_BACKUP on the backup server. In this case, set the drive
characters of the secondary volume E:.
BKServer > EX_DRM_TAPE_BACKUP Operation_A -mount_pt E:
When backup is performed, information about related backup operations are registered in the
backup catalog.
