Symantec Backup Exec -
Command Line Applet

The Backup Exec Command Line Applet is a convenient way to access some of the most
useful features of Backup Exec from a command prompt. The Command Line Applet
allows management of only one media server at a time, but allows for remote
management of media servers within an enterprise. However, if the Central Admin
Server Option (CASO) is installed, you can administer all servers managed by the central
administration server.
Backup Exec must be installed and running on a media server in order for the Command
Line Applet to target it, but the Command Line Applet does not have to be run from a
media server. The Command Line Applet uses functional command switches typed in a
command prompt window to perform most Backup Exec functions and utilities.

Note Backup Exec Command Line Applet is only backwards compatible for a previous
release and dot releases of the same version of Backup Exec.

Updating scripts for use with this release
This release of the Backup Exec Command Line Applet provides improved output from
command switches and includes support for new features and capabilities in Backup
Exec.
Symantec strongly recommends that you use the latest release of the Command Line
Applet. You may need to update existing job scripts to take advantage of the improved
command switch output. While you update and test your job scripts with this release of
Backup Exec Command Line Applet, you can continue to use the previous version of the
Command Line Applet.

Command Line Applet requirements

The Backup Exec Command Line Applet works with a local or remote Backup Exec server
installation. Minimum system requirements include:


Operating System You can find a list of compatible operating systems, platforms, and
applications at the following URL:
http://entsupport.symantec.com/umi/V-269-1

Processor Pentium system

Memory Required 16 MB RAM

Disk Space A minimum of 1 MB of hard disk space after Microsoft Windows is
installed

Other Hardware DVD-ROM

Using the Command Line Applet
The Backup Exec Command Line Applet is installed with Backup Exec. After installation,
to run the applet on another computer, copy bemcmd.exe to a computer that meets the
minimum requirements and is running Windows RPC services.
If you copy bemcmd.exe to another computer, the following files must exist on that
computer:
■ beclass.dll
■ becluster.dll
■ BECrypto.dll
■ besocket.dll
■ bestdutl.dll
■ libvxsigcomp2.dll
■ msvcp71.dll
■ msvcr71.dll
■ serdll.dll
■ vxcrypto.dll


Using command line switches

If these files do not already exist, copy them to the computer along with bemcmd.exe.
To use the Command Line Applet, type bemcmd followed by a series of command
switches in a command prompt window. The Command Line Applet will attempt to
complete the requested task, and then return a value to the command prompt indicating
success or failure.
Backup Exec functions and utilities that you can run using the Command Line Applet
include:
■ Run or cancel a previously created jobs.
■ Create and run jobs for local or remote file selections, including databases on
Microsoft Exchange, SQL, Lotus Domino, Oracle, UNIX, and SharePoint installations.
■ Create selection lists.
■ Create protection policies that include job templates and rules.
■ Create, run, and monitor utility jobs.

Note This release of the Command Line Applet does not support submission of verify or
rewind jobs.

■ Set default options for all jobs.
■ Obtain job status and the number of scheduled, active, and completed jobs.
■ Create media sets and drive pools.
■ Perform drive utilities and get information about the status of drives.
■ Start and stop Backup Exec system services.
■ Retrieve information on and respond to job alerts.
■ Determine if the media server is available on the network.
■ View and print Backup Exec reports.

Note The Command Line Applet can target clustered media servers. The only limitation
is that the Command Line Applet can target a device pool, but not a specific device
in that device pool.

To use the Command Line Applet on your computer, type the appropriate command line
switch and any additional information required. For example, to run a previously created
backup job named Operations Weekly, type the following at the command prompt:

7


bemcmd -o1 -j"Operations Weekly"
In this example, -o1 is the operation to submit the backup job. The command line switch
-j specifies the name of the backup job. Because the job name contains spaces, quotation
marks are required around the job name.
The job “Operations Weekly” was previously created through the Backup Exec
administration console. By default, the backup will be done on the computer where the
Command Line applet is executed.
To run this same job on a remote computer named Genesis, type the following at the
command prompt:
bemcmd -cGenesis -o1 -j"Operations Weekly"
The command line switch -c specifies the name of the media server where the job is to be
run.
When connecting to a remote server, if you are required to provide a user name and
password, type the following at the command prompt, substituting the text appearing in
italics with the correct names:
bemcmd -cGenesis -nuser_name -ppassword -o1 -j"Operations
Weekly"
If the value contains a space or a colon, enclose the value with quotation marks. If the
switch contains more than one letter a colon must appear immediately after the switch
or the switch itself must be enclosed in quotation marks. Switches that consist of only a
single character do no require a colon after the switch.
In each of the previous examples, a -1 is returned if the job fails. You can also track the
status of the job submission by including the Verbose Output command line switch -v.
Substitute the text that appears in italics next to the command, such as job name, with
a value, such as the correct job name.
For commands using Job IDs, this version of Backup Exec uses a globally unique
identifier (GUID) in a 16-byte hex string format for each job.

Note Command line switches appearing in BOLD are required.



Switches used with all operations
The following command line switches can be used with all operations.
