Z-DATdump command-line parameters
|
Via command-line parameters it is possible to change default program values or enable batch processing of backups. The parameters must be entered after the program name, each separated by spaces.
-b #
Loads dump list # and starts back-up. The program exits after back-up succeeds. Examples:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -b 1
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -b 5 -append
-down
Computer is shut down after back-up. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -b 5 -down
-hiber
Computer is hibernated after back-up. Examples:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -b 1 -hiber
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -b 5 -hiber
-hide
Program window is not shown. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -b 1 -hide
-endeject
The medium is ejected from the drive after back-up. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -b 1 -endeject
-endejectoff
Overrides global setting to eject medium. Medium is not ejected after dump. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -b 1 -endejectoff
-compon
Enable hardware compression of tape drive (if available). Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -b 1 -compon
-compoff
Disable hardware compression of tape drive. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -b 1 -compoff
-prepare
Enable tape auto-format function of Z-DATdump. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -b 1 -prepare
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -b 1 -prepare tapename
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -b 1 -prepare $DATE
-fseek
The position of the files on the tape will be tracked and saved to a file automatically. Unfortunately, the FastSeek option requires a lot of time on old tape drives which can lead to massive slowdowns when backing up more than 5,000 files. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -b 1 -fseek
-fastcrc
FAST-CRC check after dump. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -b 1 -fastcrc
-fastcrcoff
Overrides global setting and disables FAST-CRC check. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -b 1 -fastcrcoff
-inkr
Incremental back-up. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -b 1 -inkr
-diff
Differential back-up. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -b 1 -diff
-noaclear
At any tape backup, the archive bit (also archive attribute) of files deleted on the band. This option is turned off this function. This parameter -incr will disable this feature in principle. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -b 1 -noaclear
-zerook
An empty dump does not trigger an error message. Examples:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -b 1 -inkr -zerook
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -b 1 -diff -zerook
-v foldername
Copy folder foldernameto tape. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -v c:\backup
-mask filemask
Use a mask to impose restrictions on filenames being copied. Examples:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -v c:\backup -mask *.zip
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -v c:\backup -mask *.zdb
|
Copy files in file list to tape
|
A self-defined file list can be specified for back-up. Z-DATdump uses a simple text file (UTF-8 or ASCII). Each line contains one file or folder name. The list can be created with Windows Notepad, for example.
-f filename
Load file list and copy contents to tape. The program exits after back-up. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -f dumplist.txt
Load file list and append contents to existing back-up. The program exits after back-up. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -f dumplist.txt -append
-nodirentry
Only folder names are copied to the medium; the contents of the folders are not saved. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -f filelist.txt -nodirentry
-emptydir
Empty files and folders are copied to tape. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -f filelist.txt -emptydir
A self-defined file list can be specified for restoration. Z-DATdump uses a simple text file (UTF-8 or ASCII). Each line contains one file or folder name. The list can be created with Windows Notepad, for example. Z-DATdump uses the index file from the hard disk for restoration. If no index file exists, it is created prior to restoration. The data is restored to its original location, existing files will be overwritten.
-getdata filename
Load file list and restore contents. The program exits after restoration. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -getdata fileliste.txt
-backdir directory
Restore data to given directory. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -getdata fileliste.txt -backdir c:\sicherung
-nameonly
Files are restored without folder names. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -getdata fileliste.txt -backdir c:\sicherung -nameonly
-stripdir
Files are restored without first folder name. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -getdata fileliste.txt -backdir c:\sicherung -stripdir
|
Restore single file from tape
|
-getfile filename
Z-DATdump uses the index file from the hard disk for restoration. If no index file exists, it is created prior to restoration. The data is restored to its original location, existing files will be overwritten.
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -getfile c:\data\mypic.jpg
To enter names containing spaces, use double quotes. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -getfile "c:\old data\mypic.jpg" <
You can search for full file names or parts of filenames. DOS wildcards are not supported. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -getfile *mypic.jpg
Program window is not shown. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -hide -getfile *mypic.jpg
-backdir directory
Restore data to given directory. If the directory doesn't exist, Z-DATdump will create it. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -getfile *mypic.jpg -backdir c:\myrestore
-nameonly
Restore data to given directory. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -getfile *mypic.jpg -backdir c:\myrestore -nameonly
-stripdir
Files are restored without first folder name. Example:
...\Z-DATdump\ZDATdump.exe -getdata fileliste.txt -backdir c:\sicherung -stripdir
