ExportNtmsDatabase function (ntmsapi.h)
[Removable Storage Manager is no longer available as of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.]
The ExportNtmsDatabase function creates a consistent set of database files in the RSM database directory.
Syntax
DWORD ExportNtmsDatabase(
[in] HANDLE hSession
);
Parameters
[in] hSession
Handle to the session returned by the OpenNtmsSession function.
Return value
This function returns one of the following values.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
|
Access to one or more RSM objects is denied. |
|
The database query or update failed. |
|
The value specified in the hSession parameter is not valid. |
|
Unable to connect to the RSM service. |
|
One of the files that the function must write to is open. |
|
The function was successful. |
Remarks
The ExportNtmsDatabase function is used by backup applications to create a copy of the RSM database. Any existing files in the Export directory are overwritten by this function.
The default location of the database is%SystemRoot%\System32\NtmsData, but this can be set by defining a registry value:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\NTMS\NtmsData
This function creates a subdirectory called Export and places the consistent files there.
