Isn't savepnpc ran on teh clients in the group? Im hoping to find a
way to run a script on the networker server after the entire group
successfully completes.. It doesnt look to me like this is a built
in functionality though?
Not exactly, but it's easy enough to simulate if you're prepared for a
little scripting.
(Incidentally, that to me is the joy of using NetWorker - it's such an
extensible backup product via scripting).
In the past when I've needed to do this, I've created a "wrapper" save
group with a single client (e.g., the backup server in it) with a
single file saveset and a custom backup command.
The custom backup command is a script you write that will first run
the group that you really want to have run, then do the command once
the group finishes. To avoid the wrapper group being deemed as a
failure, run save then just for the single file, including arguments
of "-LL -q" so that save outputs in a format that savegrp expects.
In that scenario, the wrapper group saveset is largely irrelevant, so
you may want to set "-e tomorrow" in the command to also have the
sentinel saveset expire after a day...
Cheers,
Preston.
