ACO5961E The parameters /BACKUPMETHOD or /BACKUPDESTINATION or both are invalid when performing data protection operations using a IBM Storage Protect Snapshot virtual server.

Explanation

Data protection commands default to /BACKUPMETHOD=VSS and /BACKUPDESTINATION=LOCAL when performed against a IBM Storage Protect Snapshot virtual server. The IBM Storage Protect Snapshot supports no other values for these parameters. As a result it is no longer necessary to specify these parameters. For compatibility with other products values for /BACKUPMETHOD and /BACKUPDESTINATION can be specified as long as they are set to their only valid values. This means that /BACKUPMETHOD can only be set to VSS and /BACKUPDESTINATION can only be set to LOCAL.
