For example, if hardware compression is enabled in the backup option dialog box, if the command line does not specify/HCAnd still use hardware compression. However, if you specify/HC: Off,/HC: OffWill replace the "options" dialog box settings, and do not use compression.
•	If your computer is running "Windows Media Service" and you need to back up the files associated with these services, see "Run backup with Windows Media Service" in the Windows Media Service online document ".

•	If you use removable storage to manage media, or use remote storage to restore Data, you should regularly back up the files in the following folders: Systemroot/System32/ntmsdata Systemroot/System32/remotestorage This ensures that all removable and remote storage data can be restored.

Example

Here are four examplesNtbackupCommand example.

Normal backup

In this example, a normal backup with the name "My Job 1" will be executed for Remote sharing/Iggy-Multi/C $. It will take a tape from the backup media pool and name it "command line backup 1 ". The description of the backup job is "command line functionality ". After the backup job is completed, the backup is verified. The access permission is not limited to the owner/administrator. The record level is set to abstract only. The remote data storage is not backed up, and hardware compression is enabled.

Ntbackup backup // Iggy-Multi/C $/M normal/J "My Job 1 minutes /p" backup "/N" command line backup 1 "/D" command line functionality "/V: yes/R: No/L: S/RS: No/HC: On

Execute copy backup

This example backs up a copy of the local drive D:/named "My job 2. The backup files and folders will be appended to the tape named "command line backup 1. All other options use the default value of the backup program.

Ntbackup backup D: // J "My job 2"/A/T "command line backup 1 running /m copy

Use the backup type specified in "backup" to perform backup

The following example uses the backup type specified in the backup program to perform the backup. It uses the backup option file named CommandLine. BKS in the C:/program files/Windows NT/ntbackup/data/directory to select the file to be backed up. This backup job is named "My job 3" and overwrites the tape named "command line backup 1" with the new name "command line backup 2.

Ntbackup backup "@ C:/program files/Windows NT/ntbackup/data/CommandLine. BKS "/J" My job 3 minutes /t "command line backup 1"/N "command line backup 2"

Back up data from a command line to a file

The following example shows how to back up data from a command line. The three examples use the default values of the backup program, including the Backup Type, verification settings, log level, hard disk compression, and other restrictions. The first example shows how to back up/Iggy-Multi/d $ to file D:/backup. BKF, and the second example shows how to attach the same file to the same backup. The third example illustrates how to overwrite files using the same backup. In all three examples, the complete UNC name can replace the drive letter (that is, the user will // Iggy-Multi/d $/backup. BKF instead of D:/backup. BKF is specified as the backup target ).

Ntbackup backup // Iggy-Multi/d $/J "command line backup 4"/F "D:/backup. BKF"

Ntbackup backup // Iggy-Multi/d $/J "command line backup 5"/F "D:/backup. BKF"/

Ntbackup backup // Iggy-Multi/d $/J "command line backup 6"/F "D:/backup. BKF"
