Commands for External Backup IDs 

Use

Backups created with external backup tools can be identified uniquely by means of an external backup ID. This ID is logged in the backup history . It can be called up using the commands for the backup history and must be entered when restoring using external backup tools.

To enable restores without a backup history, the external backup IDs of the backups currently in the backup tool can, however, also be determined using the DBM Server commands below.

Prerequisites

You have the DBM operator authorization Backup or DBInfoRead.
