Starting a Backup Using the CLI

 

Switch to the /opt/omni/bin (HP-UX and Solaris systems),

 

/usr/omni/bin (other UNIX systems), or

 

<Data_Protector_home>\bin (Windows systems) directory on an SAP

 

R/3 Database Server system and run the following command:

 

omnib -sap_list <backup_specification_name> [-barmode

 

<SapMode>][list_options]

 

You can select among the following list_options:

 

-protect {none weeks n days n until date permanent}

 

-load {low medium high}

 

-crc

 

-no_monitor

 

SapMode = {-full -incr}

 

Refer to the omnib man page for details.

Example

To start a backup using an SAP R/3 backup specification called RONA, run

 

the following command:

 

omnib -sap_list RONA
