Example: Backup Program on Windows, Using Alternating Destinations
This example program creates one backup image on machine D1234 and seven days
of backup images on machine D2345. As a result, multiple restoration options are
available if the backups become corrupted. The example includes two executions of
%OMABAKUP:
3 The first execution stores the backup files on the metadata server host (D1234).
These backup files are overwritten every day, and they represent the most recent
backup image.
3 The second execution stores the backup files on a different machine (D2345). The
name of the backup directory varies depending on the day of the week. The
backup directory is specified as Dmt01 Repos Backups\&day, where &day is a
directory named Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, orSat.
