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

The SAP tools use this command to rewind a tape when performing a tape backup. This parameter is also used with pipe or pipe_auto to back up to a remote system or restore files from that system.

rewind = <cmd>

Default value: none

Example

Rewind commands:

  • HP-UX: "mt -f $ rew"

  • AIX: "tctl -f $ rewind"

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

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.
