amassbackup
Back up to a Backup Volume in either a library or a standalone
drive the following files:
• File System Database (/usr/filesysdb)
• Journal (/usr/filesysdb/journal)
While the backup is being completed, the Database is locked.
Therefore, client requests cannot be satisfied.
Note
When an external tape device is used to backup the AMASS
database (with -d flag) amassbackup will always unload the tape
from the drive after successful backup completion.
