EV Server 3rd party backup Powershell script

Hi,

Can anyone share here your pre and post backup powershell script to securely and successfully backup Enterprise Vault server v8.0 SP4 and above using 3rd party backup application ?

from my understanding I just need to backup the EV server VM using any 3rd party VSS aware backup application, but then it is not enough.

Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

DGomez

  • As Andrew states it doesn't matter which version of EV or OS you're using, you have to turn EV into RO-mode to make sure you have a consistant backup.

    The tech note you refer to is just to generate the scripts to be used as pre/post commands.

    The only option you have to not use the scripts is to use Netbackup or Backup Exec with the EV Agent, as the agent will deal with backupmode through the agent.
