NetBackup to backup Sybase SQL anywhere DB

Hi Sughi 

It does not look like it. 

NBU 9.0 database compatibility list can be found here:

Depending on the size of the database, you may use Netbackup  bpstart_notify and bpend_notify script functionality. The bpstart_notify script can be run before a regular file system backup, and bpend_notify after  end of the backup.

The idea is you write a script to dump the database before regular file system backup start to have a fresh database dump. By default the notify script has a timeout value of 15 minutes, meaning is not really suites for very large databases where the dump takes a long time.

I used the bpstart_notify/bpend_notify functionality myself to solve similar problems.

hi Sughi 

We both agree Netbackup doesn't support Sybase Anywhere.

Please look at my previous post about the bpnotify_start option in Netbackup, to solve the Sybase Anywhere backup problem you have. While is not a agent based solution, it's a possible workaround.
