A Script to Create Volume Pools, add Tapes, add Policy, add Schedules

[MariusD]

Hi all,

I want to make a script:

create 20 volume pools: "INCR01 - INCR20". In "INCR01" comes  tape "TAPE01" ..."INCR20" comes tape "TAPE20"

create 14 volume pools: "FULL01 - FULL14". In "FULL01" comes tape "TAPE21"... in "FULL14" comes tape "TAPE34"

create 2 volume pools: "FULLM01-FULM02". In "FULLM1" comes tape"TAPE35" and in  "FULLM2" comes tape "TAPE36"

create 1 volume pool: "FULLQ1". In "FULLQ1" comes tape "TAPE37"

And after all pools are created come 1 Policy with 37 Schedules. 1 Schedule for each tape.

20 Tape for 20 Daily incremental  backup (Monday-Friday)  .....{for 4 Weeks are 20 work days}

14 Tape for 14 Weekly full backup just Saturday              ..... {for 3 Month are 12, 13 or 14 weeks}

2 Tape for 2 Monthly full backup just in last Saturday of Month  {each Month 1 Tape go OUT(safe place)}

1 Tape for 1 Quarterly full backup just in last Saturday of March, June, September and  December.  {all at 3 months/quarterly 1 tape go OUT(safe place)}

Can I create SCRIPT for all of this????????

This will help you  to create volme pools and add tapes to volume pool.

Repeat the above Scripts for Policy Creation and Schedule Creation by using following commands:

Create Polciy :

install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bppolicynew policy_name [-verbose] [-M master_server,...] install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bppolicynew policy_name -sameas existing_policy_name [-verbose] [-M master_server,...] install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bppolicynew existing_policy_name -renameto policy_name [-verbose] [-M master_server,...]

Create Schedule:

install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpplsched policy_name [-v] [-M master_server...] [-L | -l | -U] [-label sched_label]  install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpplsched policy_name [-v] [-M master_server...] -delete sched_label ... install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpplsched policy_name [-v] [-M master_server...] -deleteall install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpplsched policy_name [-v] [-M master_server...] -add sched_label [-st sched_type] [-freq frequency] [-mpxmax mpx_factor] [-number_copies number] [-synthetic 0|1] [-pfi_fast_recovery 0|1] [-rl retention_level [,rl_copy2,...,rl_copyn]] [-residence storage_unit_label [,stunit_copy2,...stunit_copyn]] [-pool volume_pool_label [,pool_copy2,...pool_copyn] [-res_is_stl 0|1] [-fail_on_error 0|1[,0|1,...,0|1]] [-sg share_group [,share_copy2,...share_copyn] [-window start_duration] [-cal 0|1|2] [-ut] [-incl mm/dd/yyyy] [-excl

Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Set objExec = objShell.Exec("SETX HOMEPATH C:\Program Files\Veritas\Volmgr\bin")

2. type the location of the Script file in your case "c:\scripts\script_backup.vbs" and Press Enter

Let me Know the OutPut !
