The following list contains the acceptable argument values that can be used when specifying backup options in a command string or arguments file.
| Argument values that you use in a command string or
arguments file are case-sensitive. Some argument values that are available for use in both a command string and an arguments file may not work in a command string; however, these values should always work when included in an arguments file. Therefore, use argument files as appropriate. |
