Catalog Backup - command line version?

[Colin_North]

Hi guys,

In NBU 5.0 if I want to change the schedule for my Catalog Backups from the NBU Admin Console I would...

* expand Netbackup Management

* select Catalog

* select Actions > Configure Netbackup Catalog Backup

* then select what option I require e.g. After each session of scheduled backups

Is there a command line version of this that I can include in a script?

Colin.

Colin,
This is for 5.1, but I bet the commands are mostly identical with 5.0 (also, you could search for a 5.0 version of the file).  You might be able to find something useful in here:

http://support.veritas.com/docs/268116

VERITAS NetBackup (tm) 5.1 Command Reference for UNIX

[Stumpr2]

#/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpsyncinfo -U 
Additionally, the file which contains all of the above information is called the sync file which can be found under "/usr/openv/netbackup/db/config". This is the file which is referenced and called by the bpsyncinfo command.

USAGE: bpsyncinfo [-l|-L|-U] [-v] [-M master_server,...]
      bpsyncinfo -delete <id> [-v] [-M master_server,...]
      bpsyncinfo -doBackup [-v] [-M master_server,...]
      bpsyncinfo: [-paths <"path1 path2 ..."> | -add_paths <"path1 path2 ...">]
          [-v] [-M master_server,...]
          [-server <hostname connected to device>]
          [-bw <backup when>]
          [-id1 <id> [-d1 <densitystr>]]
          [-id2 <id> [-d2 <densitystr>]]

      densitystr is required if media type is tape
      the list of paths must be enclosed in double quotes and blank-delimited
      backup when choices:  never, session or dbupdate
      id is either a media ID or path

Bob / David,

Thanks for your replies, I have found the bpsyncinfo.exe command buried under the windows directory structure. At the moment I can't find any Veritas documentation relating to this command....I'll keep looking.

Cheers, Colin.

Bob,

That's exactly what I was looking for - bpsyncinfo -bw never & -bw session.

Thanks for your help.

Colin.
