Noticed I did not send this to the list

 

Here is the command I use to copy from my VTL to Tape

 

 

D:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpduplicate.exe"
-dstunit wnsnb02-hcart2-robot-tld-2 -dp NetBackup-A -id dx0005 -rl -1
-fail_on_error 0 -hoursago 144 -set_primary 1 -primary -priority 99999
-number_copies 1 -L "D:\Program
Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\Logs\Dailyduplicate\Dup_Daily_DX0005.log" -M
wnsnb01 -mpx

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Copying a tape

 

Nb 5.0 mp6 Solaris 9    

I have a few bad tapes that I need to transfer the data from. The tape I
am going to needs to be promoted to the primary copy as I would be
deleting the from tape out of netbackup. I want to make sure I am doing
this right, so what command should I run to copy a tape, promote the new
copied version to primary (and have it retain the original expire date
so the images are protected). I know what steps are needed to delete the
tape I just want to make sure I copy the original correctly.

Thanks 

 

Greg
