I have several scripts for daily monitoring that either call the installed instance of blat directly or reuse the nbmail.cmd script. 1. A daily status report which details any backups which ended in an error status, any that are still running at the time of the report, any that are still

6.5.5 on Windows 2003 Master - I see the same result. I can choose Windows 2008, IA64 Windows 2008, and x64 Windows 2008, but not R2. It is successfully backing up an x64 Windows 2008 R2 server. Patrick Sweeney (978) 787-4553 patrick.swee...@axcelis.com I.T. Systems/Networks For issues

Re: [Veritas-bu] Bpbackup Command Issues

Alternatively you would need to run the command on the master server. I have some processes where I run a script prior to kicking off the backup, and then fire off the backup command on the master server by using schtasks. If you have multiple schedules in the policy, you will probably want

Re: [Veritas-bu] Legal Freeze / Frozen Media

Just a thought - what about creating a media pool that isn't used by any backup policies and moving the media to that pool until you have the opportunity to flip the write/tab and import it? From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu

I actually just had an issue come up with this. My environment is fairly simple, and nearly all of the servers are MS Windows, in a single domain, no clustered servers. I just added a VBScript to enumerate any machines added to AD in the last 24 hours with server in the operating system name,

Download gawk and pipe the reulsts of bpdbjobs -mostcolumns to it. I'llwrite the awk line for what you need when i get to work tonight, but basically gawk is going to do two things for you here - it will let you easily filter that output down to the jobs where the parent ID and the JobID match

Travis, I have three possible solutions for you - I think. I haven't tested the example I am providing here, so you'll probably need to do a little debugging. 1. Run BPDBJOBS at a regular interval, and parse for jobs of type backup, whose parentid is equal to its own id, with a status greater

You could also run bpps from the netbackup\bin directory to see what NetBackup processes are running, and run bpdown to end them gracefully - assuming no backups are running at the time. Patrick Sweeney (978) 787-4553 [EMAIL PROTECTED] I.T. Systems/Networks For issues requiring immediate
