Selected C1000-082 IBM Certified Administrator - Spectrum Protect V8.1.9 Questions Answers

The command that helps protect the IBM Spectrum Protect server in case of a database failure is "BACKUP DB."

Backing up the Spectrum Protect database protects against data loss due to hardware failure [1], software problems, or other emergencies that might cause a total loss of the database. The BACKUP DB command creates a backup copy of the IBM Spectrum Protect database.

If a database failure occurs, the backup can be used to restore the database to a known state.

It is important to periodically perform backups of the IBM Spectrum Protect server database to ensure that the data is protected in the event of a failure [1]. Detailed instructions for performing backups can be found in the IBM Spectrum Protect V8.1.9 documentation.

According to the IBM Spectrum Protect V8.1.9 documentation, the option to restore the most recent backup version of a file, even if the backup is inactive, is the LATEST option. This option will restore the last backup version of a file regardless of the backup's status.

Here is an example command using the LATEST option to restore a file:

restore /home/user1/testfile -latest

This command will restore the most recent backup version of the file "testfile" regardless of whether the backup is active or inactive.
