Good Day

Hi Everyone,

 

Anybody could help me resolve this issue? I already add/specify the client in the policy.

the command that i issued was:

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bparchive -p <Policy> -s <archive_schedule> -L <progresslog> -S <masterserver> -t 0 -w  23:59:59 -f <arch path>

 

 Thanks in advance!

What is CLIENT_NAME in /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf?

Does this name correspond with Client name in the policy that contains User Archive Schedule?

Can Master server resolve Client's IP address to hostname in policy?

To userarchive you have to create a policy with schedule - user backup/user archive. If that is not set you won't be able to archive the client. Also make sure the you have the backup window set up correctly.

Is the client policy name and the client name the same -  Could be something like the fully qualified domain name ?

srv1.acme.com & srv1 is not the same name in Netbackup term.

I you need a really fast help post the output from the bparchive command (-L) and a screen shot from the activity monitor in a post.

Best Regards

Nicolai

Thanks guys..i just change the client name from th bp.conf and it works for the command, except there is an error : none of the files in the file list exist. How should i put the file list path..for example my file list path is /tmp/test..it will appear /tmp/@ in the job details.

 

kindly assist!

 -f <arch path> seems to be incorrect usage.

Either -f <filename> where filename contains a list of files/folders that need to be archived, else without '-f' <arch_path> where arch_path is path to be archived.

 

C:\>bparchive -help
USAGE: bparchive [-p policy] [-s schedule] [-k "keyword phrase"]
           [-L progress_log [-en]] [-S master_server...]
           [-t policy_type] [-w [hh:mm:ss]]
           -f listfile | filenames
 
So, either
 bparchive [-p policy] [-s schedule] -f listfile  
or
bparchive [-p policy] [-s schedule] filenames

? /tmp/@

You may have a null byte at the lend of line - This look like “^@” in vi. bplist is known to terminate each line with a null byte.

Nicolai , which line has the "^@" ? i just run a bparchive command and select the archive file path location /tmp/test. The result from the job details and progress log will appear /tmp/@.

BTW, I have tried to terminate the null byte using bplist, turn result 227, No entity was found. Should I run it from my media server?

Do you need to archive  /tmp/test?

Or is this a text file containing list of files to be archived?

If text file, your command will be :
bparchive -f 
 /tmp/test

If path to be archived:
bparchive  /tmp/test

Dear Marrianne,

Thanks for the knowledge you taught. I already test and the result was successfully completed.Ive made the path to be archived bparchive /tmp/test. My intention is to archive all files in the /tmp/test only, not together with the directory. What should i do? If I use bparchive -f command, should i put all the files in a text file in /tmp/test directory?

Im a nbu dummy..sorry for such silly question!smiley

Try /tmp/test/*. 

This is how all of us learned - reading manuals plus 'trial and error'. 
Your approach is good - test with some dummy files in a temp folder. Only when results are what we expect do we apply in production.
