This is interesting behavior ... =20
=20
I have a script that I wrote that performs a backup (bpbackup -i -w). At t=
he end of the backup, I trap the status and if the backup is not a failure =
I then run bplist and I get all of the data in the backup. This is similar=
to what you are trying to do - immediately after a backup run bplist.
=20
I would guess that NetBackup has not considered the backup to be finished y=
et until after the bpend.notify script finishes running. The metadata is s=
ent to NetBackup from the media server as each file is backed up. The data=
is in the image file, but if NetBackup does not think that the backup is c=
ompleted yet, then it should say that there are no images found for the dat=
e range.
=20
Since I am not using the bpend.notify script, when my bplist runs it is bei=
ng run against a completed image.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] When is the Backup metadata updated into the NetBacku=
p DataBase
Hi,
=20
I would like to know when the metadata collected during a Backup it is actu=
ally put into NetBackup's DataBase. I'm running a 'verify' on a backed-up f=
ilesystem using "bplist", this is executed from the bpend script. However, =
when it ran at the completion of the backup no data was returned. I ran the=
same bplist cmd when I got to work this morning (some time after the comp=
letion of this backup), and was presented with the files backed-up.=20
=20
So instead of running the bplist straight after the conclusion of the backu=
p I shall need to wait some period of time. (For the metadata to get into t=
he NetBackup database), does anyone know how long to wait?
=20
Thanks
Regards=20
