Running the ctm_backup_bcp utility

This procedure describes how to run the ctm_backup_bcp utility, which exports data from a Control-M/Server database to the ~<controlm_owner>/ctm_server/backup_db (UNIX) or <controlm_owner>/ctm_server/bcp_backup (Windows) directory.

To run the utility:

1. Do one of the following:
   • UNIX: Log on to a Control-M/Server account
   • Windows: Open a command prompt window where Control-M/Server is installed.
2. Shut down Control-M/Server by using the following commands:
   • shut_ca
   • shut_ctm
3. Type the following command:

   ctm_backup_bcp [-n]

   -n runs the utility in silent mode. In this mode, confirmation prompt and "backing up contents" messages are not displayed.
