To Restore the file above –
dsmc restore -inactive /u05/backup/TEST/20090702_0841.ofsap_tables.dmp.Z
To backup permanently and retain for 2 years.
dsmc archive -archmc=RETAIN2YEARS -description=”test_remove” “/u05/backup/TEST/test_export.sh” -su=yes > test.log

To query all permanent archived backups under a particular directory –
dsmc query Archive -detail “/u05/backup/TEST/test_export.sh” -su=yes
