Hi Goony.
You are using some interesting technique in my oppinion.
- How are you able to let an email that is sent, trigger a command on NetWorker?
- I'm working on a nsrclone script myself, as well as reporting script. It
would be inspiring to see how you approach that with you scripting. Would you
mind sharing?
Best regards,
Johannes

Subject: [Networker] Things to do with Perl scripts in NW
We use Perl for a variety of daily NetWorker-related tasks, including reporting
and daily tape cloning.
I've written Perl scripts that send an email to the operators telling them
which tapes to take offsite (found waiting in the tape library cartridge I/O
ports), and which expired tapes that can be put back into the tape library.
When they reply to the emails, the info along with their userid gets logged.
The reply to the email about tapes that need to get put back in actually issues
a command to NetWorker to load the operator-placed tapes from the cartridge I/O
ports and place them into empty library slots.
Also, I found the automatic cloning (e.g. when a group completes) to be lacking
- there were often tape resource issues since we were doing some backups to
disk, and others to tape - there was often tape drive contention as backups to
tape had to wait for clone jobs to finish. Ugh!
With the improved NSRCLONE command that came along in V7.5, it's now pretty
straightforward to have a Perl script do the cloning for all backups once they
have completed.
Now, with the separate cloning script I never have tape drive resource issues
during cloning whatsoever.
