dsexport and dscmdexport

Hi,

I have three questions:

1) I want to automate the backup process using CLI commands. I see two commads available for triggering an export process - dsexport and dscmdexport. Can someone please tell me the difference between these two.

2) Can I trigger an export process using dsexport/dscmdexport commands from an NT system that has DS client installed in it which is remotely accessing the DS server installed in a UNIX box?

3) Can I trigger an export process from a UNIX box that hosts DS server?
I guess I can not because dsexport.exe and dscmdexport.exe are only client side components. However dsjob.exe is a server side component and in UNIX it has an option for import but not for export.

Thanks in advance
-Sumit

Hi,
regarding the differences your docs cover it.
regarding export from remote windows machine of a DS server on unix yes it works fine (I use dscmdexport).
and your correct the export is still a client side operation.

if I'm not mistakes the server import is for executables only' but I might be mistaken.

IHTH,

Thanky Roy. You are right. The server import is for the executables only.

Roy can you tell me in which pdf I have to look for it. I couldn't find it in servjdev.pdf under the section called Stage Development Kit, Command Line Interface.

Hi,
look for it in the manager pdf document, I don't have DS avail right now, but it should be something with ?man?.pdf
