Archiving files older than a specific date
I have a perl script that finds files older than a specific date, like older than 2012-01-01 00:00.0
It then moves these files from a data directory to an Archive area.
Then I use a standard Netbackup Policy that backups these files to LTO tapes in an Archive Volume Pool with infinity Data expiration.
When on tape and verified I delete the archived files.
I investigated the archive option in "Backup Files" but that really takes the lot not on a date specification.
Any ideas how to get Netbackup doing this automatically?
Netbackup Enterprise 7.1.0.3 running on Solaris 10 SPARC.
Archiving is a schedule type - User Archive. The Policy type will be Standard for Unix clients and MS-Windows for Windows clients.
It can be called from the BAR GUI on the client or from cmd on the client.
See User Archive on p. 631 of NBU Admin Guide for UNIX and Linux, Volume I http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC3650
