I do this for my Oracle archived redo files & other similar files.  It's all
script driven, written around the bparchive command.

Unless things have changed in v4.5 it's not possible to do a NB scheduled
archive job, it has to be done with a client-side user archive job - all my
archivals are therefore unix cron driven script wrappers around bparchive.

If you must use theNB pscheduler, then you might consider a dummy backup job
that has only one file in it but uses a pre-schedule job (bpstart_notify or
bpstart_notify.bat) that includes the bparchive script.

successful backup


 Hi, 
      I'm running Netbackup 3.4.1GA on Win2K. Currently have a requirement
to archive selected log files so that once backed up they are deleted from
the drive to prevent it being filled up and stopping an Oracle database from
working.

As far as I can see the only way to do this using the standard tools is to
create a schedule of type 'User archive' and then on the client select the
files to be archived manually each time and specify check box to delete on
successful completion. 

However, I need to do this on a fully unattended basis, ie create a schedule
on the master server which does this at least weekly. 

There does not seem to be a way to set up automated archive scheduling on
the master server.  Has any one come up with a workaround /script which can
achieve this. Apparently this capability is available with Backup Exec.

Thanks in advance for your help

Regards
