ddfsadmin backup query

Before running the ddfsrc command to perform a self-service image-level restore of file systems, 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 -v=volume name -t=time value [h = hour,d = days,w = weeks,m = months] queries the local record file for listing backups.

ddfsadmin backup query -remote -d=Protection storage system -s=storage unit -u=username -p=DD password -c=hostname -v=volume name -t=time value [h = hour,d = days,w = weeks,m = months] queries the record file on the protection storage system for listing backups.

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:

  sync -local options: Sync local record file with record file on DD
  sync -remote options: Sync remote record file with file in the local
  options:
    -d=<DD host>: Protection storage system host IP
