Recovery Agent command-line interface overview

When you use the commands, some parameters are not required. See the following sections for details regrading required parameters.

For the parameters that are not required and not entered, default values are used. Parameters with spaces must be enclosed in quotation marks. For example, if you want to use the Accounting, Daily parameter, type "Accounting, Daily".

The -->< character sequence indicates the end of a syntax diagram.
