Re: [Veritas-bu] Exclude lists on Unix clients
Dear Patrick, great result, and I, for one, am always keen to see useful scripts that help manage NetBackup better.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Exclude lists on Unix clients
I have never tried from a Windows Master Server to UNIX Clients... but I have done it several times from a Solaris Master to Solaris, AIX and Linux Clients. It uses the same commands, but is done totally different for UNIX Clients! Symantec, if you're listening... WHY??? You can't pipe standard input to the command to set it or expect the results on the screen when you get it. To set it, you create a file with any name on the NetBackup Server and then use bpsetconfig with -e (or -i for include_list), specifying the file you created, to copy the file to the Client specified (while also renaming to exclude_list and putting it into the correct NetBackup dir). If you use the syntax for Policy or Policy/Schedule specific exclude/include lists, it creates it with a name accordingly (e.g. exclude_list.policy). To get it, you specify the name of the file to be created on the NetBackup Server. bpgetconfig, again with -e or -i, gets the exclude_list (or include_list... policy/schedule specific lists if specified) from the Client and copies it to the Server to the file name you specify. You then have to go cat the file or something to look at it. It doesn't display it as standard output. Think of it as the old bpgp... but limited to working with exclude/include lists! For UNIX clients, refer to the technote I mentioned (also below), the Command Line section at the end of the Documentation Updates that came with the 6.5.3 patch or use the online help (i.e. bpgetconfig -H or bpsetconfig -H). http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH66046 For Windows Clients, refer to the 6.5 Admin Guide or the following. http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/pipermail/veritas-bu/2011-November/110906.html If this doesn't work when done correctly from a Windows Master Server to a UNIX Client, I'd open a case with Symantec, because it should work, and definitely works with a Solaris Master. -Original Message- From: Patrick [mailto:netbac...@whelan-consulting.co.uk] Sent: Friday, December 02, 2011 1:10 PM To: Kendall, Scott Cc: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Exclude lists on Unix clients Doesn't work for Unix, I tried. :) On 02/12/2011 18:00, Kendall, Scott wrote: bpgetconfig and bpsetconfig will do Windows and UNIX as of 6.5.3... same commands, but totally different syntax! http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH66046 -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of pwhelan0610 Sent: Friday, December 02, 2011 8:30 AM To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: [Veritas-bu] Exclude lists on Unix clients How do most of create and populate exclude lists on Unix clients, if you don't have access to said client?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Exclude lists on Unix clients
Patrick Whelan said: How do most of create and populate exclude lists on Unix clients, if you don't have access to said client? As Scott Kendall mentioned, bp[gs]etconfig is the cleanest way to go, (technically and politically). That said, setting and maintaining *clude lists with a) alternate-client restore to force standard *clude lists and/or b) backup|script|restore to preserve and update existing lists can be a big win if the need is non-trivial and lines of authority allow it. ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
