spdsbkup Options

-a
includes the domain ACL files in the backup.
-aonly
includes only the domain ACL files in the backup. No tables are backed up.
-d <domain>
the LIBNAME domain of SPD Server.
Note: The system that performs the backup must be able to access the physical path for the domain locally or through a network connection.
-f
prefix filename for the backup data file. This filename is concatenated with _BK_ddmmmyyy_hhmmss.0.0.0.spds. The complete name identifies the file as an SPD Server backup file. If the backup file exceeds the system's file size limit, spdsbkup automatically extends the file and separates it into multiple backup files. Each file has a unique SPD Server filename extension (the 0.0.0 portion of the filenames is different).
-fibfact <n>
increases the File Information Block (FIB) metadata space by a factor of n, where n is greater than or equal to 2. The -fibfact option is necessary only if a backup fails due to insufficient FIB metadata space (fibspace). FIB metadata space shortages occur when the domain that is being backed up contains an unusually large number of data sets.
-full
performs only full backups of SPD Server tables. All of the table observations and attributes (indexes, definitions, partition size, compression, and sorted) are backed up. After each full table backup, -full resets the last full backup date for the table. See the -n option for dependencies.
-h
the SPD Server host to use for the backup.
-hash
prints the hash sign (#) to stdout for each 256K block that is compressed and written to the backup file.
-help
prints the command-line usage syntax and option switch list for the spdsbkup utility.
-inc
performs incremental backups of the SPD Server tables.
-n
specifies that index information for SPD Server tables should not be saved when performing full backups. When the table is restored, the restore utility does not create indexes. The index itself is not backed up; only the definition of the index is backed up.
-nv6warn
suppresses the warning Cannot back up v6 data set. spdsbkup 5.1 can back up only SPD Server and SPD Server data sets. If you try to back up earlier versions of SPD Server data sets, a warning message is issued unless you specify the -nv6warn option.
-p
the user password.
-proj <directory>
the domain project directory.
-q
runs spdsbkup in quiet mode, which includes only error messages and warning messages in the output during a backup operation.
-r
number of times spdsbkup retries accessing a table that is not available because it is being updated. A table that is being updated cannot be backed up. The spdsbkup utility pauses 5 seconds, and then retries the table if it was unavailable during the previous access attempt. The default retry count is 1.
-s
the port number of the name server. If you do not specify this option, the default value is spdsname.
-t
The date/time of the last full system backup for the table that is to be backed up.
When you specify the -t option with spdsbkup, the utility performs a full backup only if the table was created after the specified date/time. Otherwise, the utility sets the last full backup date for the table to the specified date/time and performs an incremental backup from the last full system backup date.
When you specify the -t option with spdsbkup -inc, the utility prints a warning message if it encounters a table that was created after the specified date/time. The message states that the table will not be backed up until a full backup of the table is completed. If spdsbkup encounters a table that was created before the specified date/time (that is, the table is in the last full system backup), spdsbkup sets the last full backup date for the table to the specified time and performs an incremental backup of the table using the last full system backup date.
You cannot use the -t option with spdsbkup -full.
-u
the user name.
-v
includes the full name of the backup file and the backup's table of contents file as part of a spdsbkup note.
[Table ...]
list of tables in the domain that you want to include in the backup. If you do not specify any tables, all of the eligible tables in the domain are backed up.
Note: The list of tables to be backed up must be the last option that you specify.
