If your working on a Windows server, you can use the start command
inside the session_notify. It will start the duplication command and
exit back into session_notify. Session_notify will continue to process
(along with the duplication) and exit. Session_notify will end and the
duplication will still be running.
Go to the command prompt and type start /?. Take a look at the options,
one of them should work for you.

I use the session_notify script which executes after a series of backups
finish. I had to do some tricky stuff so that it does not execute after
a User backup or user archive (had backup_exit_notify change
session_notify to either start or not start the duplication based on
whether it was a scheduled backup or not).
There is a negative side to this. Since session_notify calls the
duplication, it does not end until the duplication is done. While
session_notify runs, it ties up a Netbackup process that prevents other
scheduled backups from starting. Once the duplication ends and
session_notify exits, as long as the schedule window is not closed, it
will then start the next set of scheduled backups. This may be a
problem if it takes a long to for duplication to run. You may be able
to find another way to have session_notify kick off the duplication with
session_notify exiting right away. In my case I don't want any backups
to start up until the previous duplication is done.

Im after some advice.
Netbackup 5.0 MP3 on Solaris with 2 media servers.
I backup my network clients over night and have a requirement for
offsite storage.
In order to keep a restore capability on site i need to duplicate my
backups.
I was wondering what people preferred to do. I have seen the multiple
copies function which i can write to a different vol pool, or i could
just duplicate the images written.
Im wondering how you can automatically run the duplication job when
allbackups have finished because you dont know what time that will be.
I was thinking of launching a duplication script from cron and checking
if any jobs are still running with the output of "bpdbjobs -report |grep
-i active" but dont know if this is a clean way
Any ideas?
Cheers
Dave
