[Veritas-bu] Post backup scripts?

Thanks Mark, and to everyone else who assisted. For you, Mark, on Winderz,
you can use Blat. Nice little application for sending e-mails. Personally, I
would much rather be running Netbackup on Solaris, but have to give in to
management sometimes. 

Now to say thanks to everyone, I think using the info I have received from
various people, as well as some scripts from a production environment, I have
enough ammunition to do what I need. Thanks to everybody, I'm always amazed
at how helpful everyone on this list is.

Matt

Client, Policy, schedule, schedule type, & status code. are passed in via
positional parameters to the bpend_notify script.  These could be used by
bpimagelist to generate a report. 

The next trick would be to mail it somehow but this is NT and I'll leave
that as an exercise to the student ;).

bpimaglist -hoursago 12 -client %1 -policy %2 -sl %3 >filename

number of files & KB backed up are part of the output.

...now mail that file somehow.

Hi Matt,

Combine what David told you with a script around "bpimagelist -A -hoursago
24" or using the the -d and -e switch to specify the time window you can get
the info you need.

The output contains client name, backup time, elapsed time, kilobytes, # of
files and more. Parsing it im not so sure about in windows but this would be
simple on unix.

Hope that helps

Hi David,
        Thanks for sending that, I read it yesterday, but it's not really
giving me the information I need. I would love to be able to know how much
data was backed up. That's probably the most important thing. But from what
the Veritas Docs say, I really don't get that passed to the bpend_notify
script.

Matt

You are looking for bpend_notify.bat it gets placed on the client.
