Command for checking backup directories

[appu1985]

Hi All,

Any one tell me the command for checking all the backup clients and their backup directories in master server.

Here our Master server is solaris 10.

Thank you in advance

If you mean getting the clients & backup paths from your existing policies, try this:

bppllist -L -allpolicies  | egrep "Policy Name|Client\/HW|Include"

Note: betwen "Client" & "|Include" is the "backslash" (\) and "slash" (/)

Use bplist command. You can check out more options to apply on " netbackup commands guide". Thanks

To add what was said above.

Watson's command will help you find what NetBackup will backup using what is configured in the policies.

Dolly's command will help you find what NetBackup has already backed up using the configured policies.

If you would like to see all file/directories you've backed up on perticular NetBackup client, you can use bplist command, following TECHnotes can help with you few good example.

If you want planning to check list for restore purpose, I would also suggest you look for BAR interface and bp command which can list all file/directories you've been backing up for that client.

Hope this helps you.
