Thnaks. I'm looking in NBU 6.5 Administrators Guide for Unix Volume 2:

The backup_exit_notify script runs on the master server. It is called to perform site-specific processing when an individual backup completes. But what I need is a backup_start_notify script that runs on the Master when my backup job starts.  As far as I can tell, such a script does not exist.  Closest thing is parent_start_notify, which appears to only work when "Allow Multiple Data Streams" is checked.

Are you looking at the Veritas NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Vol
II, NetBackup notify scripts chapter?  backup_[exit_]notify runs on
the media server for each backup.
