RE: [Veritas-bu] Delete Data after backup

[Mark.Donaldson]

Title: Message

No need to do fancy scripting.

 

Create an archive schedule within the policy, same retention, pool, etc. as the regular backup schedule.

 

Use "bparchive" and a list of files supplied to bparchive via the "-f" option.  bparchive works like backup but the files in the filelist are deleted from the client if the backup was successful. (Careful, directories are deleted, too.  Create a list of *files*, not a top-level directory.)

 

Magic - no bpend_notify or anything (although that method would work). 

 

You could call the bparchive job via cron or via a bpstart_notify script.  bparchive cannot be scheduled using the Netbackup scheduler like a regular backup schedule.  It's a "user driven" command.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Delete Data after backup

Morning

Got one Server, contained within a policy of other servers (5 servers backed up in 1 policy)

 

One of the Servers needs its Data DELETED after the backup has been created.

 

Any best way forwards on this that can be acheieved within the Backup Policy or on the client itself?
