For a complete data backup, you log on to Database Manager CLI as a DBM operator, connect to the database for which the backup template is to be created, and define a backup template of type Tape. Use the name specified by the tape station (location/device) for the data carrier.
You want to define a backup template with the following properties for a complete data backup to tape:
Name of backup template: DemoTapeCompl
Data carrier (device/file): \\.\tape0
Type: TAPE (tape)
Backup type: DATA (complete data backup)
You can find the prerequisites under Database Manager CLI, medium_put
Call Database Manager CLI, log on as DBM operator OLEG with password MONDAY, connect to database DEMODB, and define a backup template with the properties specified in the scenario:
>dbmcli OLEG,MONDAY DEMODB medium_put DemoTapeCompl \\.\tape0 TAPE DATA
OK
You have created the backup template DemoTapeCompl for database DEMODB.
You can now start a complete data backup using this backup template.
