The bab command contains options that are used to define actions to follow when controlling the Arcserve Backup services.
The bab command includes the following options:
Identifies the name of the system hosting the operation.
If you want to execute the operation on a remote system, this switch must be included in the command.
If you want to execute this operation on your local system, this switch is not required and should not be included in the command.
Note: If you include -cahost in the command, you must also specify the hostname of the system (local or remote) hosting the operation.
Note: If you installed Arcserve Backup using the "Arcserve Manager (Console)" mode, you must include the -cahost switch to execute this command from your local machine. Because this Console installation mode does not actually install all Arcserve Backup capabilities on your local machine, it is mandatory that -cahost be included when submitting this command remotely to the primary or member server containing Arcserve Backup or else the command will fail.
Displays a list of basic bab commands.
Starts Arcserve Backup daemons.
Loads a specified service or all services. By default, all services are loaded.
Stops Arcserve Backup daemons.
Unloads a specified service or the three services (cadbd, camediad, and caqd services ) will be unloaded. By default, these three services will be unloaded.
The -force option forces unloading even if a job is queued.
The -quiet option suppresses messages.
Shows the status of Arcserve Backup daemons.
Displays the configuration and current status of a specified service or all services. By default, all services are displayed.
Increases the verbosity of the output for status and configuration options. Use the -v option to show the status of the daemons in verbose output.
When used with the -show command, the -v option displays the service name, location of the binary, state, registration status, and "kill" type. The kill type indicates whether a particular service is "immortal" (must be shut down with the -force switch), or "regular" (can be stopped as needed).
Shows the current status of a specific Arcserve Backup service or all Arcserve Backup services, as well as how the service is configured.
Displays the status of back-end services and their "kill" type (immortal or regular).
Services that are labeled as "regular", may be stopped as needed. Services labeled as "immortal" can not be stopped unless their termination is forced and all "regular" services have been unloaded.
Increases the verbosity of the output for status and configuration options. Use the -v option to show the status of the daemons in verbose output.
When used with -showcfg, the -v option displays the service name, location of the binary, hostname, RPC program number, RPC program version number, process ID (PID), transport protocol, family, state, registration status, and "kill" type. The kill type indicates whether a particular service is "immortal" (must be shut down with the -force switch), or "regular" (can be stopped as needed).
Brings down a specific Arcserve Backup service or services, re-reads the configuration file, and brings the service up again with new configuration file settings.
This command makes a back-end service, when specified, caserved reread its configuration files and activates any changes it finds.
Displays a brief status of services.
Removes the host from your Arcserve Backup environment.
Note: The <hostname> must be a valid host name and exist in the primary server.
Returns the name of the Primary Server in the current domain or the domain where the specified host is located. You can provide the name of any Domain member (as the host server) to get the Primary server name.
By default, if the –cahost is not specified, it will find out the primary server of the local machine. If –cahost is specified, it will find out the primary server of the hostname.
Returns a list of all the servers in the current domain or the domain where specified host is located. You can provide the name of any domain member as the host server.
By default, if the –cahost is not specified, it will find out all the member servers in the local machine’s domain. If –cahost is specified, it will find out all the member servers in the hostname’s domain.
