Commands for Backup Media 

Use

A backup medium is assigned to every backup you carry out. Backup media include files, tapes, and pipes.

The path specifications and properties of the tape device, tapes, or files are grouped together in the media definition under a freely selectable, realistic name. Under these names, the media can be re-used for all possible backup operations.

Prerequisites

Note the DBM operator authorizations for each of the DBM Server commands.
