Need help on how to script an "alternate location" backup for a specific server (VM) weekly
Hello, this is my first post, I do browse the forums everyweek though. ;) Here's my problem, I do this very manual "restore" to an alternate location for a server that needs a second backup copy every single week, (with different host (VM), different display name, etc). I was wondering if it was possible to script/schedule this sort of backup to happen weekly. Right now it is very time consuming and laborous to do this every week and was wondering if any shortcuts were available. Let me know if its possible to script something like that! Thanks, etn

bpstart_notify remote ssh hangs
Hi, I have been using the remote ssh commad execution with AIX hosts running NBU 7.0. Later the applications were migrated to Solaris 11 and with NBU 7.5.0.7. We have ported the same scripts to the new hosts. The scripts run as expected when run mannually on command line but when it is called from the backup job (bpbkar32 process) the remote ssh command hangs at the backup client and the backup fails. But the remote command successfuly completes at the remote host. Is this a bug with the NBU client process or is this not supported by NBU clients?

bplist EXIT STATUS 227: no entity was found (Again!)
Dear All, The bplist command lists all you want, and exactly all you ask for (even not being aware of it), as 1E100 counts problems are not rare. Basing on the already noticed and described cave-eats (short summary): https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/bplist-exit-status-227-no-entity-was-found Remember to choose policy type, if not you are using type == 0 (not Windows, not SQL, not Oracle etc...) https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/bplist-command As above and provide date range. Nice list of NetBackup policy types http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH27299 bplist detailed syntax description http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO43668 I would like to propose a set of "golden rules" for bplist command: 1. Always specify policy type (-t). 2. Always provide relevand data range (-s, -d). 3. Mind the listing recursiveness(-R) as it may be too verbose when you just put the "/" or it may not show anything for non-file like backup types. 4. Provide as many other details as possible to speed up the search. Template forgood examples: bplist -C <ClientName> -S <MasterServer> -t <PolicyType> -k <PolicyName> -s MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS -e MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS -R / That may result in something like: bplist -C MyClient -S MyMaster -t 4 -k OraclePolicyName -s 08/08/2014 08:00:00 -e 09/09/2014 08:00:00 -R / Hopefully I will find this article prior loosing few hours solely on bplist syntax refresh ;-)
