symantec netbackup disk based image via the command line

  1. symantec netbackup disk based image via the command line?

  2. When would I, or would I not, use cross mount points?

  3. symantec netbackup configure retention from command line ?

  4.  What is the difference between the expiration date for a volume in NetBackup's media catalog and Media Manager's volume database?

  5. In which location(path) the temp files located in Netbackup for Windows/Unix?

 

  • /var is a separate mount point under /

    If you do not allow cross mount points, it will not backup /var.  If you allow cross mount points, it will.

     How do you find a disk based image via the command line and then delete it?

    Look in the reports, some of them refer to disk images - one way

    bpimagelist - then search for the disk based images in the FRAG lines - another way

    Look directly in the disk STU at the actual backup images, the names of the files contain the backupid.

    Use bpexpdate -backupid <backupid> to expire them.
