Using the ddfsadmin utility for disaster recovery
The ddfsadmin utility provides the following command line options for disaster recovery asset.
ddfsadmin backup query
Before running the ddfsrc command to perform a self-service system state restore for disaster recovery asset, you can use the ddfsadmin backup command to query a list of all the local and remote backups taken for a particular host, as shown in the following:
ddfsadmin backup query -local -t=time value [h = hour,d = days,w = weeks,m = months] queries the local record file for listing backups.
Example usage
ddfsadmin backup query -local -t=5d displays a list of local backups in DISASTER_RECOVERY:\\ taken within the last five days.
ddfsadmin sync
This command ensures that the catalogs that are on the local machine and in the DD system are synchronized. The following is the usage for the ddfsadmin sync command:
ddfsadmin sync -local -d
x.x.x.x -u
username -s
/dev_path
options:
-d=<DD host>: Protection storage system host IP
-u=<DD username>: Protection storage system username
-s=<DD device path>: Protection storage system device path
-p=<DD password>: Protection storage system password.[Optional]
