This agent has the following unique functionality.
Some database iDataAgents run backups using a system-generated script that is run behind the scenes from a command line. The CommCell Console serves as a front-end user interface for specifying various backup arguments and parameters that are passed to the backup script that is run. Depending on your agent, you can specify, for example, the application-specific Backup Level, whether the backups will be online or offline, as well as buffer and bundle sizes, among other settings. Although the backup arguments/parameters vary among iDataAgents, they all function in a similar manner. These arguments are set at the subclient level from the respective iDataAgent's Subclient Properties dialog box tab.
For step-by-step instructions, see Configure Backup Arguments.
Before performing any backup procedures for this agent, review the following information:
If you have created subclients for a database, you can create a complete backup of the database by backing up these subclients. If you have created a group of selected subclients for the database, you must back up all of these subclients to create a complete backup. If you have created separate subclients for the logical log files, backup emergency boot file, and or backup ONCONFIG file, and if these subclients are not included with the subclients defined for databases or subsets, then the subclients for these files must also be backed up to create a complete backup.
Multiple streams are supported for data protection and recovery operations with this agent; however, before utilizing multiple streams, you should understand how their use affects operations. For more information, see Streams.
