Starting a backup job

[LeonardRutkowsk]

Is there a way to start a backup job, from Sql Server, or Windows?  I am running a job that rebuilds indexes, and once it is done, I want to run a transaction dump and a a full backup.  I run the job once a month, and I would like the backup to be done as part of the job that I have set up in Sql Server.  There are already jobs set up in Backup Exec that run transaction dumps and database backups on a scheduled basis, but I would like to run them immediately, as part of the Sql Server job, or once it is finished.
 
Thanks,
Leonard

The command line utility bemcmd.exe in the %programfiles%\symantec\backup exec\ directory should be able to do what you need.

bemcmd.exe -o01 –j<backupjob>

Where <backupjob> is the name of the job you wish to start.


bemcmd.exe /? for more information.
