Hi,

I recall seeing some time back a website that had NB scripts that were
submitted by members of this group.  Could someone please post that url?

Thanks!!

 We've been running with our own home grown procedures for a while now.
 Although as our environment grows, I'm definitely looking into cutting
 over to Vault or a third party vaulting option.

 Right now, our backup schedules look like,

        daily incrementals
        weekly fulls performed on the weekend (split over sat/sun)

 after the fulls complete on a given day (usually less than 8hrs with
our
 current load), I have a script that runs bpduplicate to create copies
of
 the full backup tapes.  Once the duplication process completes, it
 records the list of media id's to an offsite tape list.  These tapes
are
 also assigned to an 'Offsite' volume pool as they're assigned.  I also
 use a fresh set of 3 tapes each week that I rotate on a daily basis for
 catalog backups.  These tapes are also included in the offsite tape
list.
 Then at the start of the week I kick out the offsite tape list for our
 operations staff to eject from the library.

 In terms of our tape handling procedures, these are pretty site
specific
 since we're using a STK silo with the tape manager (Lib Station)
running
 on our OS/390 mainframe.  They basically send me a daily report with a
 listing of tapes in the silo and tapes which have been removed from the
 silo.  I then have a daily job which runs against the report and
updates
 the robot_type to either "acs" or "none" depending on whether the tapes
 have been returned or pulled from the silo.  I also have another daily
 job which goes through and returns unassigned volumes to the scratch
 pool (additionally reinitializing expired catalog backup tapes).

 So in all, I probably have five or six scripts that are actually called
 in the process.

  nbduplicate
        - calls bpduplicate to create copies of full backups

  nb-update-scratch
        - returns unassigned (expired) volumes to the scratch pool

  nb-update-offsite-tapes
        - adds duplicated media id's to the offsite tape list

  nb-create-offsite-backups
        - calls nbduplicate script to duplicate full backups created
          within the last 24 hours
        - calls nb-update-offsite-tapes script to record media ids used
          during the tape duplication to offsite tape list
        - performs a catalog backup following tape duplication
        - rolls over the offsite and nbdb tape lists when run on mondays

 nb-create-tape-eject-list
        - reads media ids from offsite and nbdb tape list to create tape
          eject list
        - transfers eject list to ACS host for operations
        - creates a tape report listing tapes going offsite and e-mails
          it to the backupadmin addres

 nb-update-lib-status
        - copies tape volume report from ACS host
        - checks for tapes entering or leaving the silo
        - updates NetBackup tape library based on the changes
          found in the ACS report.  sets robot_type on volumes
          to either "acs" or "none" depending on presence in
          the silo.

 Anyway, this is pretty much a high level view of the process I'm
 currently using.  Although as soon as I get some time, I plan on
 doing some testing with Vault.  While the above process works for
 now, it is some fragile.

 Hope this helps.

 John
