Thank you for your response.
I set up a couple of test scripts /tmp/bkupexec.pre and /tmp/bkupexec.post on the system that is to be backed up to ensure that Pre and Post scripts can be run on an AIX agent (I had read that Pre/Post scripts could only be run on a Windows agent, hence my previous post...)
The documentation you posted shows Windows batch files being used for the Pre/Post scripts. As my client is running AIX, I have written executable Shell scripts (#!/bin/sh).
The scripts fail to run. I receive an error message that directs me to: http://eventlookup.veritas.com/eventlookup/EventLookup.jhtml?EvtID=V-79-57344-33233
This shows Pre/Post errors that relate to incorrect Windows configurations.
Can you please confirm that Pre and Post scripts work on an AIX agent? If so, what type of script will run and which user account will execute the scripts? (I need the root user)
I am at a slight disadvantage here in that I do not have access to the Backup Exec server that my business client is running and I have to assume that the server has been set up correctly.
