You want to use bpbackup for command line backups.  I don't think you want
to try to mix tar and netbackup backups on the same tapes. Actually I don't
think that you can mix normal tar and Netbackup backups on the same tape, or
at least not without going to a lot of trouble. 

Keep your tar's separate from your netbackup backups.  Otherwise you are
going to shoot yourself in the foot.

example of bpbackup
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpbackup -c CLASS_NAME -L /tmp/logfile -t 0
file_to_backup

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Taking a backup using the commands


Hello,

I need to write a script to take a backup using
NetBackup commands but I do not have any documentation
to check for that. Could anyone please tell me what is
the command?

Also if I want to use a tar, can I do that?

Thanks in advance for the help.
