The default connect string and the default NetBackup directory are defined with the General.NetBackupConnect and the General.NetBackupDirectory parameters. For details of these parameters and others for configuring NetBackup, see General section. Any values that are entered with this command override the values that are specified in the solid.ini file.
▪ connect connect_str : Specifies the connection to the NetBackup server. If connect_str is omitted, it must be specified in the solid.ini configuration file. For the full connect string syntax, see Format of the solidDB connect string.
▪ dir backup_dir : Defines the backup directory in the NetBackup server. The path is relative to the netbackup root directory.
▪ DELETE_LOGS | KEEP_LOGS: Defines whether backup logs are deleted or kept in the source server. Default is DELETE_LOGS.
Note DELETE_LOGS is referred to as 'Full backup' and KEEP_LOGS is referred to as 'Copy backup'.
