Backup Monitoring - HP Data Protector A.06.11 Command Line Interface Manual

Backup monitoring

When the backup command is executed, it sends a request (specifying the backup
objects) to the Session Manager. When the Session Manager (SM) accepts the
request, it assigns a unique SessionID to the session. You can use this SessionID to
monitor the progress of the session using the xomnimonitor or omnistat
commands. You can also use the omniabort command to terminate a session.
