Symantec Backup Exec -
Command Line Applet

The Backup Exec Command Line Applet is a convenient way to access some of the most
useful features of Backup Exec from a command prompt. The Command Line Applet
allows management of only one media server at a time, but allows for remote
management of media servers within an enterprise. However, if the Central Admin
Server Option (CASO) is installed, you can administer all servers managed by the central
administration server.
Backup Exec must be installed and running on a media server in order for the Command
Line Applet to target it, but the Command Line Applet does not have to be run from a
media server. The Command Line Applet uses functional command switches typed in a
command prompt window to perform most Backup Exec functions and utilities.

Note Backup Exec Command Line Applet is only backwards compatible for a previous
release and dot releases of the same version of Backup Exec.

Updating scripts for use with this release
This release of the Backup Exec Command Line Applet provides improved output from
command switches and includes support for new features and capabilities in Backup
Exec.
Symantec strongly recommends that you use the latest release of the Command Line
Applet. You may need to update existing job scripts to take advantage of the improved
command switch output. While you update and test your job scripts with this release of
Backup Exec Command Line Applet, you can continue to use the previous version of the
Command Line Applet.

Command Line Applet requirements

The Backup Exec Command Line Applet works with a local or remote Backup Exec server
installation. Minimum system requirements include:


Operating System You can find a list of compatible operating systems, platforms, and
applications at the following URL:
http://entsupport.symantec.com/umi/V-269-1

Processor Pentium system

Memory Required 16 MB RAM

Disk Space A minimum of 1 MB of hard disk space after Microsoft Windows is
installed

Other Hardware DVD-ROM

Using the Command Line Applet
The Backup Exec Command Line Applet is installed with Backup Exec. After installation,
to run the applet on another computer, copy bemcmd.exe to a computer that meets the
minimum requirements and is running Windows RPC services.
If you copy bemcmd.exe to another computer, the following files must exist on that
computer:
■ beclass.dll
■ becluster.dll
■ BECrypto.dll
■ besocket.dll
■ bestdutl.dll
■ libvxsigcomp2.dll
■ msvcp71.dll
■ msvcr71.dll
■ serdll.dll
■ vxcrypto.dll


Using command line switches

If these files do not already exist, copy them to the computer along with bemcmd.exe.
To use the Command Line Applet, type bemcmd followed by a series of command
switches in a command prompt window. The Command Line Applet will attempt to
complete the requested task, and then return a value to the command prompt indicating
success or failure.
Backup Exec functions and utilities that you can run using the Command Line Applet
include:
■ Run or cancel a previously created jobs.
■ Create and run jobs for local or remote file selections, including databases on
Microsoft Exchange, SQL, Lotus Domino, Oracle, UNIX, and SharePoint installations.
■ Create selection lists.
■ Create protection policies that include job templates and rules.
■ Create, run, and monitor utility jobs.

Note This release of the Command Line Applet does not support submission of verify or
rewind jobs.

■ Set default options for all jobs.
■ Obtain job status and the number of scheduled, active, and completed jobs.
■ Create media sets and drive pools.
■ Perform drive utilities and get information about the status of drives.
■ Start and stop Backup Exec system services.
■ Retrieve information on and respond to job alerts.
■ Determine if the media server is available on the network.
■ View and print Backup Exec reports.

Note The Command Line Applet can target clustered media servers. The only limitation
is that the Command Line Applet can target a device pool, but not a specific device
in that device pool.

To use the Command Line Applet on your computer, type the appropriate command line
switch and any additional information required. For example, to run a previously created
backup job named Operations Weekly, type the following at the command prompt:

7


bemcmd -o1 -j"Operations Weekly"
In this example, -o1 is the operation to submit the backup job. The command line switch
-j specifies the name of the backup job. Because the job name contains spaces, quotation
marks are required around the job name.
The job “Operations Weekly” was previously created through the Backup Exec
administration console. By default, the backup will be done on the computer where the
Command Line applet is executed.
To run this same job on a remote computer named Genesis, type the following at the
command prompt:
bemcmd -cGenesis -o1 -j"Operations Weekly"
The command line switch -c specifies the name of the media server where the job is to be
run.
When connecting to a remote server, if you are required to provide a user name and
password, type the following at the command prompt, substituting the text appearing in
italics with the correct names:
bemcmd -cGenesis -nuser_name -ppassword -o1 -j"Operations
Weekly"
If the value contains a space or a colon, enclose the value with quotation marks. If the
switch contains more than one letter a colon must appear immediately after the switch
or the switch itself must be enclosed in quotation marks. Switches that consist of only a
single character do no require a colon after the switch.
In each of the previous examples, a -1 is returned if the job fails. You can also track the
status of the job submission by including the Verbose Output command line switch -v.
Substitute the text that appears in italics next to the command, such as job name, with
a value, such as the correct job name.
For commands using Job IDs, this version of Backup Exec uses a globally unique
identifier (GUID) in a 16-byte hex string format for each job.

Note Command line switches appearing in BOLD are required.



Switches used with all operations
The following command line switches can be used with all operations.

Setting default options
The command line switch -o300 allows you to set default options to be used for Backup
Exec operations. After setting the default options, you can use the -o301 switch to
retrieve the value of the default options set. To retrieve the value using the -o301
operation, specify the option name or file name after the command. If you do not specify
an option name or file name, all the default options set will be retrieved. To retrieve a list
of available default options and the values, use the -o301 operation with the -f switch.
The default options can be set through a series of -do parameters and the use of a -dv
parameter followed by the default value.
For example, to set the job priority default to high using the -do parameter, enter:
-o300 -do:DO_JOB_PRIORITY -dv:3
You can also set the default options through the use of the -f parameter followed by the
name of a file. Use a text editor, such as Notepad, to create a file that contains all the
default options. Each entry must be typed on separate line and include the name of the
parameter typed in capital letters and then followed by an equal (=) or a colon (:) sign.
The value for the entry must follow the equal sign and contain no quotes unless they are
part of the value itself.
For example, to set the job priority default to high and set the default backup to full using
the -f parameter, create a text file that contains the following parameters:
DO_JOB_PRIORITY=3
DO_BACKUP_TYPE=0
After you complete the file, enter:
-o300 -f:filename



The default parameters set through the -o300 switch can be overridden when creating an
individual job. The following default options can be set using the -o300 switch:

Using job script files

A job script file is a text (.txt) file that the Command Line applet can use with command
line switch -o90 to create and launch jobs. The job script file can contain all of the
switches you would normally specify on the command line when using the Command
Line Applet as well as additional switches that you set when creating the job script file.
The job script file can also be used in conjunction with some of the switches.
Sample script files are included in the UTILS directory on the installation DVD. To
activate an entry in this sample file, delete the forward slashes (//) at the beginning of
the line. The following are the sample script files included:
■ Backup jobs - bjscript.txt
■ Restore jobs - rjscript.txt
■ Catalog jobs - catalogscript.txt
■ Discovery resource jobs - discoveryscript.txt
■ Duplicate backup jobs - djscript.txt
■ Test run jobs - testrunscript.txt
■ Copy job - cjscript.txt

Creating a backup job script file
Use a text editor, such as Notepad, to create a backup job script file that contains the
following sections, and entries for each section:
■ [General]
■ [Backup_Options]
■ [Media_Options]
■ [Miscellaneous]
■ [Schedule]
■ [Machine]
■ [Selections]
■ [Media_Server]
Each entry included for the various sections must be typed in capital letters and be
immediately followed by an equal (=) sign. The value for the entry must immediately
follow the equal sign and contain no spaces or quotes unless they are part of the value
itself. For example, to specify in the script that the job name is Workstation Backups and
the job type is backup, the script file for the [General] section would appear as:

127


[General]
JOB_TYPE=Backup
JOB_NAME=Workstation Backups
All possible entries for a Backup Job Script File are described in the following table. In
creating a script file, you would not want to include all entries.

backed up.
Change x to a unique number for each
device aliasing backup selection.
An alias backup allows you to specify a
share to back up, and then specify
another share from which the backup
will appear to have originated. This
type of backup is useful when the
location of the data to be backed up is
temporary. For example, a share may
be cloned and placed on another
device while it is backed up in order to
off-load traffic from a busy device. If a
temporary share is backed up, the
restore path for the share may not
exist if a restore becomes necessary.
Instead, you can specify an alias to a
location where you want the share to
appear to have been backed up from.
For example:
APATH1=MachineAC$*.*
AINCLUDE1=1
ASUBDIRS1=1
AALIAS1=MachineBD$
indicates that MachineAC$*.* and
all its subdirectories should be backed
up and aliased as MachineBD$.
Alias jobs support both UNC and local
devices. However, both the target and
the source must be the same, either
both UNC or both local devices. You
cannot mix them.
Note The schedule option
RUN_IMMEDIATE=1 must be
included or the alias selection
will be ignored.

Saving and launching the job script file
After creating the job script file, save it as a plain text file. When launching the job script
file, specify the directory where the file resides along with the filename.
To launch a script file, type the following at the command prompt:
bemcmd -o90 -f"drive letterdirectoryscript name"
For example, suppose you created a directory for your scripts called Scripts and named a
script for differential backups of workstations DIFFBKWORK. To launch this script with
the verbose command, type:
bemcmd -o90 -v -f”c:scriptsdiffbkwork.txt”

207

Using scripts and selection lists

Selection lists provide a quick and easy way of selecting files that you back up often.
After you choose devices, directories and files, you can save the selections as a selection
list script that you can use in regularly scheduled operations or once-only operations.
A sample selection script file (selectionscript.txt) is included in the UTILS directory on
the installation DVD. To activate an entry in this sample file, delete the forward slashes
(//) in the line. The selection list script is used with command -o220 to create a selection
list.

Creating a selection list script file
Use a text editor, such as Notepad, to create a selection list script file that contains all
data selections for the backup job. Each entry included in the selection list script file
must be typed in capital letters and must be immediately followed by an equal (=) sign.
The value for the entry must immediately follow the equal sign and contain no spaces or
quotes unless they are part of the value itself.
All possible entries for a selection list script file are described in the following table. Do
not include all entries in a script file.

Using Policy Commands

You can create policies that enable you to manage backup jobs and strategies. Policies
contain job templates, which are job attributes that define how and when Backup Exec
processes a job. Templates specify the devices, settings, and schedule for a job, but do not
include the selections to be backed up. The policy switches available include:

Creating a policy
Command line switch -o260 creates a policy by reading a policy script file, such as the
example script file policy.txt. The policy contains a set of required and optional entries
for creating a policy.
The FILEx entries specify the names of separate template script files and the TYPEx
entries specify the type of template.
A sample policy script file (policy.txt) is included in the UTILS directory on the
installation DVD. To activate an entry in this sample file, delete the forward slashes (//)
at the beginning of the line.
Use a text editor, such as Notepad, to create a policy that contains three sections, and
entries for each section. The sections of a policy file are:
■ [General]
■ [Templates]
■ [Rules]

Policy file values


[General]

NAME Required. Specifies the name of the
policy being created.

DESCRIPTION Specifies a description of the policy
being created.

that contains a job template.
Note The FILEx entry is not required
for Export media templates.

223


Policy file values (continued)


TYPEx=Template type Required. Specifies the type of
template specified by the FILEx entry.
Values for TYPEx are:
◆ 0 = Backup template
◆ 1 = Duplicate backup sets template
◆ 2 = Export media template
◆ 3 = Synthetic full template

template job start times.
Rules to handle conflicting job start
times include:
◆ 0 - If start times conflict, <First
Template> supersedes <Second
Template>.
◆ 7 - If start times conflict, <First
Template> will start and upon
completion, starts <Second
Template>
Rules to link jobs together:
◆ 1 - After <First Template> starts,

◆ 11 - Run <First Template> only
once.
Rules to export media:
Template> to export media.



Using job template script files within a policy
When creating a policy, you can define or create a job template script files to use with the
policy. A job template script file includes the destination, settings, and schedule options.
After the policy is created, you can use -o264 with a selection script to quickly create jobs
based on the job templates. When using -o264, a policy and selection lists can only be
associated with each other once. To use the same policy and selection lists to create
another job, run -o265 before using -o264.
Sample script files are included in the UTILS directory on the installation DVD. To
activate an entry in this sample file, delete the forward slashes (//) at the beginning of
the line.
Examples of the template script files are given in the following files:
■ Backup template - bjtemplatescript.txt
■ Duplicate backup sets template - djtemplatescript.txt
■ Synthetic full backup job template - sftemplatescript.txt

Note The duplicate backup sets template cannot be set to run now.

Use a text editor, such as Notepad, to create a job template script file that contains all
settings and options for a job, except for the data selections.
Each entry included in the job template script file must be typed in capital letters and
must be immediately followed by an equal (=) sign. The value for the entry must
immediately follow the equal sign and contain no spaces unless they are part of the value
itself. For example, to specify in the script that the backup method is working set and
that the device name is Backup-to-Disk Folder 1, the script should appear as:
BK_METHOD=1
DEVICE_NAME="Backup-to-Disk Folder 1"

227

Creating a backup job template script file

Use a text editor, such as Notepad, to create a backup job template script file that
contains the following sections, and entries for each section:
■ [Backup_Options]
■ [Miscellaneous]
■ [Schedule]
itself. All possible entries for a duplicate backup template job script file are described in
the following table. In creating a script file, you would not want to include all entries.
