Hello Kevin

 

If memory serves me, it is no longer suspended.

You can also use the command nbpemreq -resume_scheduling

To restore operations.

 

In the long term it would be good if netbackup could have a more general interface to the scheduling functions.

So one could suspend client schedules, or overhead job, like dups and db backups.

Also I do not believe that this command will stop user backups such has rman. It would be nice if one could do that also.

Len,

 

That worked great, but if I stop and start netbackup will it still be suspended?

Ok, when I was on 5.1 I could change the behavior file to # of tries 0 and rereadconfig to allow NB to be running but no new jobs to kick off.  But I could still submit jobs manually.

When I went to 6.5, VERITAS told me to just stop the bprd daemon.  Well, with that not running I can not submit jobs manually.

Sometimes, I am working on the master server and bring up netbackup and don't want any jobs to run.

Anybody have any ideas on how to do this?
