Synopsis
ondemand [-l {full,incremental,synthetic_full,differential}] -c CLIENTNAME] [-i INSTANCENAME] [-bk BACKUPSETNAME](-d [DIRPATH [DIRPATH ...]] | -df DIRECTIVEFILE) [-dsp DSP]
Description
Perform an On-Demand backup operation on the client.
When you run this command, the software looks for an existing On-Demand subclient for one of the following backup sets:
The backup set that you specify on the command line
The default backup set when you do not specify the backup set
If there is no On_Demand subclient for the backup set, then the software creates an On-Demand subclient (named ondemand) with your specified content, and then performs an On-Demand backup.
If there is an On-Demand subclient for the backup set, then the software adds the specified content to the On-Demand subclient and then performs an On-Demand backup.
The table lists the options that the software supports.
Option | Description |

-l | The backup type. Valid values are: full - For information on full backups, see Full Backups. incremental - For information on incremental backups, see Incremental Backups. differential - For information on differential backups, see Differential Backups. |
