That's a rather broad category. What area are you concerned about? Do you know perl and netbackup already? I don't think this forum is appropriate for teaching perl (or any language's) basics. What do you want to accomplish? NBU has many command line interfaces that are appropriate for automation tools. 'vmquery', 'bpmedialist', 'bpimagelist', 'bppllist' are all especially useful for gathering information. And 'vmchange', 'bpexpdate', 'bpduplicate', 'vmphyinv' and others are useful for making updates and modifications to the configuration. The man pages are the best start for those tools, but some of the output formats are not documented. You can usually find them with some good google searching. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?

The usual problem is that a filesystem that is in the File List for the policy becomes unmounted, changes mount location, mount point becomes stale, or the area to be backed up is deleted by the client. My suggestion is to take the policy file list and go line-by-line through them to assure that everything in them is actually on each client in that policy. If any one does not exist, then you will get that error. Output from 'bperror -U -client <client_name> -problems' may be of help in finding the actual area that is not being found. Hope that helps.

Greetings, A while backup I installed NOM MP2 on a Solaris 10 box. For the longest time, I could not get any of the reporting to show, so I opened a call with Veritas support. After many calls, it was stated that NOM for NBU 6.0 does not work properly on Solaris 10 machines. Has anyone been able to get NOM working on Solaris 10 system?
