Restarting a series of backup job

[kris_rocks]

Hey Guys!

How do I restart a series of backup jobs? Say for example from jobid 2100 t0 2110.

Earlier I have done that but now I can't figure out the commadn. Soming thing similar to bpdbjobs -restart 2100-10

OS:   Centos 5.6

[root@backup02 ~]# bpgetconfig |grep VERSIONINFO

VERSIONINFO = "Linux" "2.6.18-238.el5" "Unknown" "NetBackup" "6.0" 600000

[root@backup02 ~]#

Hi Kiran,

Thanks for the reply.

But the restating using command :

 [root@backup02 ~]# bpdbjobs -restart 217407-12

Restarting 10190 jobs

[root@backup02 ~]# 

It just restarted 10190 backup jobs??? instead of 6 jobs! So that is not the command... 
 

Please suggest...

bpdbjobs -restart 217407,217408,217409,217410,217411,217412

Guys, is it possble to see the media details or job progress details in bpdbjobs.

in other words, if I do not have access to GUI, can I see the contents of the 2nd tab which show what is going on with the job currently in bpdbjobs / or with any other command.

Yes..

bpdbjobs -report -jobid ### -all_columns

This might help:

DOCUMENTATION: In NetBackup 6.x and 7.x, what does the output of "bpdbjobs -most_columns" mean?

Because you told it to restart 10190 jobs

217407-12

you do not have job details in your jobs database back to jobid 12, but you do (or did at the time you ran this command have job details back to job 207217

(207217 + 10190 = 217407)

If you had run the command

bpdbjobs -restart 217407-217412

or

bpdbjobs -restart 217412-217407

Then you would have seen only the 6 jobs you intended to restart.
