Stan,

At the bottom of this message is the script I use on Solaris 7 to start a 
backup of our Oracle redo logs archives when the file system gets too full.  
There's more to it than just this but this is the part that starts the 
savegroup.  We're still running NetWorker 7.2.1 on the client but the server is 
running 7.5.1.

Hope this helps.

Dave

Subject: [Networker] Starting a savegroup via a script

Greetings everyone;

I could have swore my question came up on this list before, but searching the 
archives hasn't been fruitful.

What I need to know is how to start a savegroup from a script that is run on a 
Linux box using NetWorker 7.4.4 (both client and server). Ideally, I would like 
to have the script pause until the entire savegroup is finished so I know when 
to proceed to the next step in the script.

Thanks,

Stan
