Have to agree with Ed partly on this. I sometimes find if the cluster fails (and its extremeley rare) I may end with a status 2 or status 6. Depending on how the window is configured and the number of retries and the frequency, will determine if the backup attempts again. Simon

Mark Best way is to have a virtual name configured for the cluster (SQLVirtualDB) that can be seen across the cluster. NetBackup can be configured (using the SQL online backup) to perform the backup job to this VSN. I do this quite often here. Simon From: ve

NB recurses by default. It's hard to stop. You'd have to do this by using an exclude file on the client, I suspect. If your filelist includes: /top/dir_to_backup You might try to exclude /top/dir_to_backup/*/ That might do it. I've never tried it, though. Make sure the trailing slash is on

You'll need to add the -A to the end of the bpgetconfig command to get "all" information. Note this is only available with -g or -s and not -M. That will include all of the dot release information and give you 6.5.3.1 in an additional field called "Patch Level". It will also give you more use
