Storage Type swith with bpduplicate from command line, windows?

[smckelvey]

We use a batch file to duplicate images from the day before, for creating a copy to send offsite. It's called by a Scheduled Task each morning.

bpduplicate -altreadhost balt-srvr-nbu -dp offsite_weekly -dstunit balt-srvr-nbu-lto -hoursago 18 -L e:\dup_logs\current_backup_log.txt -st INCR -M balt-srvr-nbu

I have a few questions about the switch for the Storage type (-st):

• If I use -st FULL or -st INCR, I'm assuming SQL backups would not be included in the duplication?
• What text would I use for the -st command to include for SQL backups ("Automatic Backup", "Application Backup")?
• is there a way to exclude a Storage Type? For example, if I wanted to Duplicate everything, except  FULL backups.

Thanks in advance.

Extract from Commands Manual:

-st sched_type
Search for backups to duplicate that the specified schedule type created.
The default is any schedule type.
Valid values are:
FULL (full backup)
INCR (differential-incremental backup)
CINC (cumulative-incremental backup)
UBAK (user backup)
UARC (user archive)
NOT_ARCHIVE (all backups except user archive)

***** EDIT*****

Database backup (e.g. SQL) is stored in image database as UBAK (user backup)

[smckelvey]

So, use -st UBAK to duplicate the SQL backups?

Any chance I can put more than one Storage Type in the command? If so, how would it be written? -st UBAK INCR or -st UBAK -st INCR

[smckelvey]

still hoping that someone can answer this:
 

"Any chance I can put more than one Storage Type in the command? If so, how would it be written? -st UBAK INCR or -st UBAK -st INCR"

Thanks in advance.

each 'schedule type'.

Looking at the synopsis of the command, there is no indication at all that you can run for more than one schedule type at a time.
