Ah yes...but wouldn't it be nice to just have a Symantec-supplied utility that would do the job for us. There are several CLI commands that will do the job, but you have to put them all together to get what you want when you are setting up a policy (the scheduling part is the worst of them with the syntax of that command as I remember).
I (and others) are looking for something that will Export a policy or policies to something like a csv file. Then manipulate that file if necessary and Import back into the system. You know, tweak the storage unit here and the schedule there... If you can do it for one policy, then you can easily use it to make new ones or move them from one system to another or make bulk changes. So, again, Symantec if you are listening...please provide something that does this. -stuart -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of A Darren Dunham Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2008 2:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Auburn vs Netbackup forums- Was: sniff...bpgp isgone from 6.5 On Thu, Apr 10, 2008 at 01:43:05PM -0700, Staub, Doug wrote: > SYMANTEC, CAN YOU PLEASE WRITE SOMETHING THAT WOULD PORT > POLICY-RELATED INFORMATION TO TEXT FILES AND RE-IMPORT THEM?

The policy stuff is in text files today, right? /usr/openv/netbackup/db/class/<client_name>/... I've moved them between servers before. I haven't actually tried to modify them too much that way. I tend to prefer scripting the CLI tools instead. But if it's done offline, it should work fine. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
