Backing up the CA ACF2 for VM Databases

The ACFSERVE BACKUP command creates backup copies of one or all three CA ACF2 for VM databases. By default, only users with the SECURITY privilege can issue this command. However, you can modify the AUTH operand of the BACKUP VMO record to change this authority level. The syntax for this command is:


                [LID  ]
ACFServe BAckup [ddsn ] [RULE ]
                [INFO ]

The operands for this command are defined below.

ddsn

Specifies the name of an ACFFDR @DDSN macro where information about the backup files is located (filenames and minidisk addresses). This operand is optional. By default, the group named in the DDSNID field of the BACKUP VMO record.

LID|RULE|INFO

These operands are optional and specify that only one database should be copied.

LID

Indicates the Logonid database

RULE

Indicates the Rule database

INFO

Indicates the Infostorage database

All three databases are processed through the ACFSERVE BACKUP command by default.

See the “Backup and Recovery” chapter for more information about database backup procedures.
