It's really best not to start down the path of modifying files under /usr/openv/netbackup/db.
 
Yes, it does work for this specific example, but it won't for all, will break things in some cases, and there's zero long-term guarantee that any script you write to do this will continue to work with future versions of NetBackup.
 
Just use bpplinclude, that's what it's there for.

The backup selection for policies is kept in a file, specifically /usr/openv/Netbackup/db/class/<policy name>/includes.

 

From my experience, you don’t need to run a specific command to update this component - just modify the contents of this file and the next time a backup is kicked off it will backup whatever is in the includes file.  So, just write a script to update the contents and you’ll be set.

Our environment NBU 6.5, HP-UX 11.31.  I’ve got a ton of policies that I need to change the Backup Selections.  They are all disk addresses like c0t3d10.  To avoid typo’s I’d like to script the changes.  I’ve always set up or changed policies via the gui so I don’t know the command line commands that are invoked.  Anyone know what command line commands are needed to change the Backup Selection portion of a Policy?

Thanks in advance…
