This is close to but not quite I think what you need

usage:  nbpemreq operation [options...]

        Available operations:
      -due -date <mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS> [-unixtime] [-client_filter <client>...] [-policy_filter <policy>...]


I am not sure if one of the other options of this command could get the output you want (ie accept policy name as input and output be the dates it expects to run).

You would have to use the bprestore command in a scheduled script to facilitate automatic restores:

USAGE: bprestore [-A | -B] [-K] [-l | -H | -y] [-r] [-T]
      [-L progress_log [-en]] [-R rename_file] [-C client]
      [-D client] [-S master_server] [-t policy_type]
      [-p policy] [-k "keyword phrase"] [-cm] [-drs] [-md] [-dd]
      [-td temp_dir] [-F file_options] [-copy copy_number]
      [-s mm/dd/yyyy  [HH:MM:SS]] [-e mm/dd/yyyy  [HH:MM:SS]]
      [-w [hh:mm:ss]] -f listfile | filenames
      [-BR sharepoint_redirected_portal | sharepoint_redirected_teamsite]
      [-spsredir_server sharepoint_redirected_hostname]
      [-granular_restore] [-priority number]

Not easy but could be done I'm sure.

nbpemreq
"...
The nbpemreq command enables a user to determine which  jobs are  due  in  the  near future.
..."
Usage:

nbpemreq -predict -date <mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS> [-client_filter clientlist] [-policy_filter policylist]
nbpemreq -predict_all -date <mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS> [-client_filter clientlist] [-policy_filter policylist]
nbpemreq -predict -dateu <unixtime> [-client_filter clientlist] [-policy_filter policylist]
nbpemreq -predict_all -dateu <unixtime> [-client_filter clientlist] [-policy_filter policylist]
nbpemreq -due [-unixtime] [-client_filter clientlist] [-policy_filter policylist]

Hi,

Can we change backup image file name ?
Like
database name : master

I want to get my backup file name : master_04012009

Is it possible ?
Please let me know steps

Hi,

For any MS-SQL Server type backup policy, by default NetBackup creates ‘Application Backup’. What’s the importance of this policy? How can we get rid of this or is this the way NetBackup works?

[Nathan_Kippen]

I know you probably don't want to hear this, but have you though about reading the manual?  Most of your questions can be answered there.

-No, you can't choose your backup image name. 

[dami]

Rafiq, you should really be opening these queries as new posts on the forum to avoid confusion and to help others looking for information to find it.

As far as I know, there is no way at all to change the backup image file name, it is internally set by netbackup and there are no configuration options.

As for the MSSQL backups, all database backups in NetBackup which use add on agents have this "Application Backup" type schedule by default. It is usually set to be 24x7 allowing these backups to be run any time. The actual backups are then kicked off by normal (full, incr etc) type schedules or via command line or third party application (eg RMAN) on the client. Application Backups are simply the window of oportunity for these backups and do not define any backup start times.

Cheers

Nathan has a good point, reading the manual is a great starting point for NetBackup and any other software! Forums are here to help with stuff which is not in the manuals.
