Hi,
I'm trying to create backup jobs on demand and run them using the command line (bemcmd). Basically i have a data processing service which receives data via sftp processes the data and then stores the processed stuff on a file server, what i need to do is store the originals on tape. I have a dell powervault r610 and am using the trial version of backup exec to determine if it can work for this problem.
I'm having a couple of issues, firstly when i try this command, on my local machine with BE running on a remote tape machine (TapeServer, windows 2008)
bemcmd -cTapeServer.local -o2 -jBATCH89897 -dTapeServer.local -prHigh -sfc:\BackupDrop\Batch_001\ -mp0 -r -w
i get:
Could not connect to the specified server. RETURN VALUE: -1
Is there any way to get a more clearer error, e.g. user not allowed etc.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then when i try it on the actual box itself (with the -c removed)
bemcmd -o2 -jBATCH89897 -dTapeServer.local -prHigh -sfc:\BackupDrop\Batch_001\ -mp0 -r -w OR
bemcmd -o2 -j BATCH89897 -d TapeServer.local -prHigh -sf c:\BackupDrop\Batch_001\ -mp0 -r -w
i get:
ERROR: Missing or invalid command line switch '-j'.
RETURN VALUE: -1
is there something wrong with the formatting of the jobname here?? i.e. -j BATCH00988
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've also tried using a script file.
bemcmd.exe -o90 -fBatchJob.txt
BatchJob.txt
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

but this returns

RETURN VALUE: -1
Any help would be really appreciated!!! :(
