It is possible if you are running 3.1.0.6 (not sure if the command was
supported in 3.1.0.5)

From the command line dsmc> eventb entire

or alternatively you can request that only a certain log be backed up e.g
eventb application , eventb security ..etc..

I don't believe you can code this in the dsm.opt like you can with regback..
(if anyone knows otherwise then let me know).

I suppose that you could code it as preschedulecmd, but I've never had much
luck with this.
Every time I've tried to run a prescheulecmd under NT it has failed. I
believe this is due to lack of permissions assigned to the system account
(which the adsm client runs under). I figured this out when I started up the
adsm service under my own id and the preschedulecmd worked fine.

Anyone else run into this problem?

        Subject:        Backup and restore of NT event logs.

        Hi all
        I would like more information on the backup and restore of NT event
logs.
        I know you can run a backup and restore from  Utilities on the NT
GUI
        client.
        What I would like to know is

        1. Is it possible to run this from the command line and therefore
include it
        in the scheduled incremental backups.

        2. When you restore it from the GUI you can't specify a date. Is
there a way
        that you can do a point in time restore or select the given file
from a list
        of inactive backed up files.

        If this is not currently possible, might it be in future fixes.(IBM
        Developers)

        I am also investigating the issue from my side because I'm sure you
could
        possibly dump the logs elsewhere with NT and then back it up.( I'm
not a NT
        guru so any ideas would be appreciated.)
        Thanx
