- Organization of this page
Functionality
This command exports data on the smart device manager for backup purposes. The acquired backup can be used for data restoration in the event of a failure.
When you execute this command, a new backup storage folder is created with the name of yyyyMMddhhmmss# under the backup folder you specify in the argument. The backup file will be created in this folder.
# yyyy: year, MM: month, dd: day, hh: hours, mm: minutes, ss: seconds
Format
sdmexportdb[ -f backup-folder]
Arguments
- -f backup-folder
-
Specify the absolute path to the backup storage folder. Only the folders in local drive can be specified. The size of the backup file varies depending on the operational environment and how long JP1/ITDM2 - SDM has been used. Make sure to keep enough free space for the disk drive in which the backup folder resides. The amount of space required is greater than the sum of the size of the database folder and the data folders that are already taking up capacity.
To specify a path containing a space, enclose the strings with double quotation marks (").
Make sure that the path length of the backup folder is 165 or fewer characters (bytes), including the backup file name.
You can use half-width alphanumeric characters, white space, and the following special characters:
#, (, ), hyphen (-), period (.), @, underscore (_), and path-delimiter backslash (\)
If this argument is specified, the following backup folder is used:
folder-specified-in-argument\yyyyMMddhhmmss
If this argument is omitted, backup files are stored in the following default backup folder:
JP1/ITDM2 - SDM (Smart Device Manager)-installation-folder\mgr\backup\yyyyMMddhhmmss
Storage location
JP1/ITDM2 - SDM (Smart Device Manager)-installation-folder\mgr\bin
