Dataset Commands
Commands in this category enable you to create and configure Oracle Secure Backup
datasets. A dataset file is an editable file that describes which hosts and paths that
Oracle Secure Backup should back up.
Oracle Secure Backup stores and manages dataset files on the administrative server file
system. Like Windows and UNIX file systems, Oracle Secure Backup datasets are
organized in a naming tree. You can optionally create dataset directories to help you
organize your data definitions. You can nest directories 10 levels deep.
The samples subdirectory of the Oracle Secure Backup home contains sample dataset
files. Before you begin to define datasets, you can view these dataset files to get an idea
of how to define a strategy for constructing your own.
For more details about datasets, see Oracle Secure Backup Administrator's Guide.

■ catds
■ cdds
■ chkds
■ edds
■ lsds
■ mkds
■ pwdds
■ rends
■ rmds
