8.4.2 Memory dump file copy command (mdump)
<Name>
mdump - Copying a memory dump file
<Syntax>
mdump [-n | -e file name] <Copy (Decompress) destination path name>
<Feature>
The mdump command compresses a memory dump file collected by Microsoft® Windows®
when the equipment stops unexpectedly. Then the command copies the compressed memory
dump file to a portable medium. The dump file, which is specified in the
Startup and
Recovery
window displayed by selecting
Control Panel
>
System and Security
>
System
>
Advanced system settings
and clicking
Settings
under
Startup and Recovery
, and all the
files under the minimum dump directory will be saved. The memory dump file is compressed
and stored as a file (File name: MEMORY.zip).
As an option, if you use the -e option, the compressed file will be decompressed.
The following options are available for this command:
-n: Files will be copied without compression.
-e file name: A file compressed by the mdump command will be decompressed. You must
specify the file name.
Copy destination path name: When the -e option is not specified, specify the drive name of
the copy destination. If you want to copy files to a directory, specify a full path
including the directory name.
When the -e option is used, specify the directory where you want to store the
decompressed files.
・
A memory dump file is copied to the copy (decompress) destination specified by this
command.
・
If a file with the same name as the copy (decompress) destination already exists at the
same location, the file is overwritten.
・
When you run the mdump command by typing “mdump /?” or “mdump -?” at the
command prompt or when there is an error in the specified parameters, a help message will
be displayed to show how to use the command.
