Accessing and Leaving CA VM:Backup Screens

You can use CA VM:Backup in one of two ways:

In either case, you must be in CMS to access the product.

This section explains how to access CA VM:Backup through screens.

Note: For information about accessing CA VM:Backup through line-mode commands, see the System Programmer Reference Guide.

To access the product through screens, enter the user ID of the CA VM:Backup service virtual machine.

Note: The instructions in this book assume that the service virtual machine user ID of CA VM:Backup is VMBACKUP.

For example, enter the following command:

vmbackup

The first time that you invoke CA VM:Backup in a logon session, the copyright screen for the product appears.

The copyright screen remains on your terminal screen until you press ENTER or 15 seconds elapse, whichever occurs first. CA VM:Backup then displays the main menu for the authorization level of your user ID. For system administrators, this is the System Administrator Main Menu.

To prevent the copyright screen from appearing again, rename the VMBACKUP COPYRGHT file on the public minidisk. Whenever you enter the vmbackup command, the main menu appears immediately.

Note: For more information about using the main menu, see the Using the Main Menu section.

To exit the product, press PF3 (End) until you reach the main menu, and press PF3 (End) once more. You return to CMS.
