Backup Command Line Utility

Use the Backup Command Line utility to launch or schedule a backup. It is available only for Solaris 10.

Oracle recommends you use the OKM Command Line Utility instead of the Backup Command Line utility. The Backup utility is installed with the OKM Manager GUI using the same installer.

Solaris 10 Syntax

OKM_Backup [-UserID userid] [-Passphrase passphrase]
           -KMAIPAddress IPaddress -BackupFilePath pathname 
           [-Retries retries] [-Timeout timeout]

pathname — The location where the backup file and backup key file should be downloaded on your system.

retries — The number of times that this utility tries to connect to the KMA, if the KMA is busy. The default is 60.
