netbackup command line & date format

[Graeme_Welsh]

have been attempting to script some stuff with bpimmedia scripts, unfortunately, it uses the american time format of mm/dd/yyyy, instead of european format, is it possible to use european dates? (server regional settings configured as english UK)

Graeme,

Use date.

unfortuantely the answer is no.
You will have to convert the eurodate.

However, you may try -hoursago xxx
I don't know if it is supported on this command.
It is not listed as an option but ....

yep, im using hours ago, running the script on monday morning, and then using hoursago with a value of 50 to get all the weekends backups in, it works, but im not 100% happy with it
