we've got adsmserv 3.1 running on an AIX 4.3.3 system, with a IBM 3575
library.

i need to backup the database, but i dont understand how to do it exactly.
ive read the manual but it sucks.

okay so the command is adsm>backup db devclass=file type=full

i need to do a full because ive never backed up the database before. but i
dont understand the devclass option. do i just type in a path to the file
that i want the backup to be? for example, if i want to backlup the
datebase to a file in /home/servercrap/adsmstuff/DBbackup, then i just do
this command:

adsm>backup db devclass=/home/servercrap/adsmstuff/DBbackup type full

if that directory already exsists, will the above command will do it?

thanks in advance!
