Permissions to Call Netbackup Schedule from bpbackup.exe tool
I was testing calling Netbackup schedules via the bpbackup.exe tool. I noticed that on a system with the agent installed I could call a scheduled assigned to that system from: The local SYSTEM account Any admin user on the system (Domain or local user) Is this expected and if so is this configurable ?

Incremental backup using dynamic file list
Hi, we have an application that maintains "projects" in about 400 directories with a total of 4TB data on one client machine. We want to backup only a couple of these directories. The application tells us on a daily basis which directories shall be backed up (because they are currently relevant). We are using bpbackup -f listFile on the client side for this - it works fine. Using this scheme we always back up only the currently relevant projects, while the backup storage for projects that became irrelevant is freed after six weeks. Typically we use not more than 300GB of backup storage. However, this does a full backup every time, even if only some files have changed. Using the root directory of the 400 directories is not an option, since many of the 400 will never be relevant for backup. How can we get an incremental backup for this kind of setup? Cheers, -Xare
