Correct, backup_notify is not what I'm looking for because it runs when a backup job completes, which backup_exit_notify is already doing quite reliably on the Master server. Having something do the same, but on my various Media servers, does not help. I was looking for a script to run on the

Thanks Bob, good info. ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES is not a solution for me because these are Policies that only backup a few specific file systems. You are correct that 'bplist' can only tell me what I've backed up int the past, not what I am about to backup. But I've decided that this is good enough. A

[Veritas-bu] run a script on the Master any time a backup job starts

2009-08-19 Thread root user
Need to run a script on the Master server when each backup job starts. I tried parent_start_notify and found that it only runs for policies that have Allow Multiple Data Streams checked. It seems to me that there should be some script that can be run reliably on the master every time a backup
