rmbackup

Purpose

Use the rmbackup command to remove a backup request, set of backup requests, or all backup requests that are queued in obtool. A backup request is held locally in obtool until you execute the backup command with the --go option, at which time Oracle Secure Backup makes all backup requests into dataset backup jobs and forwards them to the scheduler.

See Also:

"Backup Commands" for related commands

Syntax

rmbackup::=

rmb•ackup { --all/-a | backup-item ... }

Semantics

--all/-a

Removes all backup requests in the queue.

backup-item ...

Specifies an identifier assigned by obtool to a backup request created with the backup command. The identifier is a small integer number. Execute the lsbackup command with the --long option to display backup identifiers.

Example

Example 2-123 queries the backup requests awaiting delivery to the scheduler and deletes the backup request with the identifier 2.
