bpend_notify

[Peter_McGinnity]

On a Win Nt server the backup job was re-queued due to busy resources (134) but the bpend_notify script file was executed and files/directories were deleted before the job was restarted, ie. bpend_notify executes on a re-queued job. Has anyone else noticed this behaviour or is there a configuration setting to prevent this happening?

Hi Peter,
Have you tried checking the exit status of the backup for a value of 0 or 1 and if it is greater then exit without doing the main part of the bpend_scripting?

Hi Bob, thanks for feedback. Would you happen to know where I would find the syntax for that?

Yes Peter,
The example script is in
$INSTALL_DIR\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\goodies\bpend_notify.bat

You are concerned with the 5th parameter as shown by
@REM %5 = Status of backup
It will be something like:
if "%5" GTR "1" goto EOF

I'm not sure of the exact syntax but basically if the value of the 5th parameter is greater than 1 then you want to exit the program
