automatically start job on one media server when job on another media server finishes

[RJM]

hello all

is it possible to automatically start a job on one media server when a job on another media server finishes?

and if so, how?

Hi RJM

It sounds like you should look into Backup Exec's Central Admin Server Option (CASO).

"When CASO is installed in a Backup Exec environment, one media server, known as the
central administration server, delegates jobs to managed media servers across the
network. Job delegation is the automatic load balancing of jobs across available managed
media servers in the CASO environment."

You can find more information in the on-line manual on page 779 (Appendix A). The on-line manual is at

C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\BeAdmin_en.pdf

thanks for the reply

i was thinking more of a post job command to run a remote command on the other server to start the second job

is this possible? can jobs be started from the command line in this way?

You can run BE operations from the Command Line. It should work if you set up the proper syntax in a batch file. Take a look at this doc

Symantec Backup Exec (tm) 11d for Windows Servers Command Line (BEMCMD) Guide (English)
