The am2bak Command Line Executable

Access Manager contains an am2bak utility under AccessManager-base/SUNWam/bin. This utility performs a backup of either all or optional components of Access Manager. Directory Server must be running while taking the log backup.

The am2bak Syntax

The generic syntax for using the am2bak tool for the Solaris operating system is:

./am2bak [ -v | --verbose ] [ -k | --backup backup-name ] [ -l | --location location ] [[-c | --config] | [-b | --debug] | [-g | --log] | [-t | --cert] | [-d | --ds] | [-a | --all]]*

./am2bak -h | --help

./am2bak -n | --version

The generic syntax for using the am2bak tool for the Windows 2000 operating system is:

am2bak [ -v | --verbose ] [ -k | --backup backup-name ] [ -l | --location location ] [[-c | --config] | [-b | --debug] | [-g | --log] | [-t | --cert] | [-d | --ds] | [-a | --all]]*

am2bak -h | --help

am2bak -n | --version

Two hyphens must be entered exactly as shown in the syntax.
