Re: [Veritas-bu] multistream a user-defined backup.
You can still use a wildcard in a loop to discover all what needs to be backed up and then send via multiple bpbackup commands. The script snip I included is a ksh format but if you can do it in a *.bat format, it should work to both discover the files and send them in separate commands. Why would backing up the file truncate the log? It's not a core feature of backup. If it's a post-backup script, you can control when it's executed by using a different policy (or schedule name) than the one tied to the normal backup method. -M -Original Message- From: Michitsch, John [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 07, 2008 11:04 AM To: Donaldson, Mark; VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] multistream a user-defined backup.
