Use batch mode to enter a single client command. When you use batch mode, you must precede the command with dsmc.
For example, to issue the incremental command, enter the following at the command prompt:
dsmc incremental
Some commands require one or more arguments. For example, to archive a file:





dsmc archive /home/proj1/file1.txt

dsmc archive c:\myfiles\file1.dat
Depending upon the current setting of your passwordaccess option, Tivoli® Storage Manager might prompt you for your password before the command is processed in a batch mode session.
When you enter your password, the password is not displayed on your screen.
