ExportNtmsDatabase Function

[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

  • hSession [in]
    Handle to the session returned by the OpenNtmsSession function.

Return Value

This function returns one of the following values.

Value Meaning
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED

Access to one or more RSM objects is denied.

ERROR_DATABASE_FAILURE

The database query or update failed.

ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE

The value specified in the hSession parameter is not valid.

ERROR_NOT_CONNECTED

Unable to connect to the RSM service.

ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION

One of the files that the function must write to is open.

ERROR_SUCCESS

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.
