===================

 

“If it’s being manipulated via the GUI, here’s one way. Write a wrapper (I use a Unix alias) for jnbSA that has something like this in it like this:

jnbSA -l $HOME/jnbSA/jnbsa.1016.log –lc

..or…

jnbSA –l /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/jnbsa/$USER.`date +%y$%M%D`.$$.log

…or similar.

This’ll create a log file in a forced location with per-user data in it. The “-lc” tells jnbSA to record the netbackup commands run behind the scenes. You could mine it for the commands that have been run.

If it’s command line stuff, we have sudo for all permissions on netbackup so we can mine the sudo logs for that info.

HTH – M”

Dear All,

 

Ran in to an interesting one today – I’m trying to script an Exchange recovery, for a 2003 Exchange environment, so that we can kick it off in the middle of the night...

 

Performing this restore from the GUI works fine, but trying to do the restore with bprestore does some weird stuff on the client...

 

The syntax i’m using is:

bprestore –cm –md -B  -C mybackupclient -D myalternaterestorehost -S myserver -t 16 -s "06/23/2010 17:00:00" -e "06/24/2010 17:00:00" -w 00:00:30 "/Microsoft Information Store/Some Storage Group 1/Some Store 2" "/Microsoft Information Store/Some Storage Group 1/Log files_1277312404"

 

I guess the first question is, is there a way to ‘see’ the command syntax that is submitted by the restore GUI? I looked in the user operations logs, but that looks to just be job history, no syntax that I could see. Same as the bprestore log...

 

 

 

The ‘weird stuff’ i’m seeing (from the tar logs, during environment discovery as the restore starts up):

 

From a GUI restore:

ov_log::V_GlobalLog: INF - ESE_CheckForRSG( )

ov_log::V_GlobalLog: INF - ESE_CheckForRSG( )

ov_log::V_GlobalLog: INF - ESE_CheckForRSG: Result = c1032221, Storage group Some Storage Group 1 is a recovery storage group

ov_log::V_GlobalLog: INF - ESE_CheckForRSG( )

From the scripted restore (Note the lack of “Some Storage Group 1” in either the RSG discovery or the DLE):

ov_log::V_GlobalLog: INF - ESE_CheckForRSG( )

Any feedback appreciated,
