Netbackup 7.5 silentclient.cmd error
Hello,
I am trying to install netbackup 7.5 client on all the servers in our corporation, which are more than 500.
Instead of doing the installation manually (which would take too much time), I decided to do it automaticly by running a script.
I found out that silentclient.cmd can be used to run the installation without any user interaction needed, all you have to is edit the file with info you need (masterserver, optionalservers and client) and then double click on it, it executes and runs the setup.exe (in the same folder).
However if I launch this file from command line, it doesn't appear to execute the setup.exe
Since this is really blocking me, can you please tell me how to resolve this?
Kind regards,
Matthias
Note 1: I launch the installation from a remote server
Note 2: I am only trying to install on windows 2003 servers at the moment
you just need Netbackup clients if you want use granular restore from Exchange, SQL or SharePoint, for other services, you do not need. Even you can restore the entire VMDK disk files or just a unique file/folder from disk. I say this from experience, we have in our company over 100 VMs and no features of the NetBackup client, has restored several times, both as VMDK or disk files/folders using the same backup policy.
This is the best way for perform backup in VMware enviroment. Make a test in your company.
