H=Hourly, D=daily backup, W=weekly backup, M=monthly backup, Q=quartal backup, S=semester backup, Y=yearly backup, E=Exchange Server incremental backup, L=SQL Server incremental backup, SCHEDULED=Scheduled backups after time plan. If this parameter is not specified, it defaults to "Single Backup after time plan".

Following parameters are obsolete, and should no longer be used:

·/NETSESS
This parameter builds a network environment for Stratesave, for network backups. When Stratesave is run as a Service under Windows 2000/XP, network sessions are now handled automatically, so this parameter is no longer necessary, and should not be used.

·/INTERACTIVE

Stratesave run as a service or AT-command should now be controlled with the Remote Backup Control program, so this parameter should not be used.
