rewind_offlineLocate this document in the navigation structure

This parameter defines the rewind/set offline command for your host operating system.

BRBACKUP and BRARCHIVE use this parameter to rewind a tape after a backup and set it to offline. This means that the volume is automatically ejected from the tape device (even when you are backing up to a remote system using pipe or pipe_auto).

rewind_offline = <cmd>
         

Default value: same as rewind

Example

Rewind commands:

  • HP-UX: "mt -f $ offl"

  • AIX: "tctl -f $ offline"

  • Linux, Solaris, Windows: "mt -f $ offline"

Make sure that you do not forget the double quotes when you enter parameters composed of several values.

The SAP tools replace the $ character with the address of the device used.
