Since the filelist may differ from backup to backup, I'd look at the
"bpbackup" command.  
 
Set her up a specific user-backup schedule in a convenient policy and direct
the bpbackup command to that policy.  
 
bpbackup will accept a list of files on its command line or via an input
file.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Triggering backup from client



We have a DBA that wants to script a command line way to back up 7-8
important files a couple of times a day. She wants to do this as a part of a
script that does other things as well. Does anyone have any ideas of the
best way to do this?

Is there a way to have a local file list on the client that the client
initiated backup will reference and read through, or is there a way to
trigger from the client a class on the master server with the file list in
there? BTW, both the master server and client in question are unix clients.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I looked through the admin guides and
couldn't find anything relative...
