Storage Mountain has some at http://www.storagemountain.com/mytools.html.
Dave Chapa's site (www.netbackupcentral.com) used to have the other scripts
you're talking about, but he sold the domain to Veritas, I believe.

Hi,
I recall seeing some time back a website that had NB scripts that were
submitted by members of this group. Could someone please post that url?
Thanks!!

We've been running with our own home grown procedures for a while now.
Although as our environment grows, I'm definitely looking into cutting over
to Vault or a third party vaulting option.
Right now, our backup schedules look like,
daily incrementals
weekly fulls performed on the weekend (split over sat/sun)
after the fulls complete on a given day (usually less than 8hrs with our
current load), I have a script that runs bpduplicate to create copies of
the full backup tapes. Once the duplication process completes, it records
the list of media id's to an offsite tape list. These tapes are also
assigned to an 'Offsite' volume pool as they're assigned. I also use a
fresh set of 3 tapes each week that I rotate on a daily basis for catalog
backups. These tapes are also included in the offsite tape list. Then at
the start of the week I kick out the offsite tape list for our operations
staff to eject from the library.
In terms of our tape handling procedures, these are pretty site specific
since we're using a STK silo with the tape manager (Lib Station) running on
our OS/390 mainframe. They basically send me a daily report with a listing
of tapes in the silo and tapes which have been removed from the silo. I
then have a daily job which runs against the report and updates the
robot_type to either "acs" or "none" depending on whether the tapes have
been returned or pulled from the silo. I also have another daily job which
goes through and returns unassigned volumes to the scratch pool
(additionally reinitializing expired catalog backup tapes).
So in all, I probably have five or six scripts that are actually called in
the process.
nbduplicate
- calls bpduplicate to create copies of full backups
nb-update-scratch
- returns unassigned (expired) volumes to the scratch pool
nb-update-offsite-tapes
- adds duplicated media id's to the offsite tape list
nb-create-offsite-backups
- calls nbduplicate script to duplicate full backups created
within the last 24 hours
- calls nb-update-offsite-tapes script to record media ids used
during the tape duplication to offsite tape list
- performs a catalog backup following tape duplication
- rolls over the offsite and nbdb tape lists when run on mondays
nb-create-tape-eject-list
- reads media ids from offsite and nbdb tape list to create tape
eject list
- transfers eject list to ACS host for operations
- creates a tape report listing tapes going offsite and e-mails
it to the backupadmin addres
nb-update-lib-status
- copies tape volume report from ACS host
- checks for tapes entering or leaving the silo
- updates NetBackup tape library based on the changes
found in the ACS report. sets robot_type on volumes
to either "acs" or "none" depending on presence in
the silo.
Anyway, this is pretty much a high level view of the process I'm currently
using. Although as soon as I get some time, I plan on doing some testing
with Vault. While the above process works for now, it is some fragile.
Hope this helps.
John
