Thanks for the caution about the streaming issue - we are currently only
backing up one directory, so multiple streams should not be an issue.
However, this presents a small issue for our UNIX backups.
In our Data Protector configuration, we have all our unix clients in one
backup policy, with a pre/post exec scripts that run. The pre-exec
script shuts down our databases, synchronizes our business copies, and
then brings the database back up. We then have multiple streams that run
to 2 dedicated tape drives. Once the backup completes, we then start
some of our reporting up on our database.
I had hoped to just convert this process over with the bpstart/bpend,
but I think we may to invoke the force streams option...

I believe in Windows, it is located in "C:\Program
Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\goodies".
There are bpstart_notify.bat and bpend_notify.bat scripts. You can
modify them to run other scripts, at the start and end of the backup.
But BE CAUTIONED! These start script runs prior to each stream, and
the end runs after each stream. Not just when the whole backup
starts/stops. So this works ok if you are running one stream (ie)
all_local_drives. But if you run multiple streams, it is not much use.
If you use them to stop/start services, the services will be going
up/down multiple times during your backup.
In fact, is there anyone out there that uses these scripts with multiple
streams? Just curious what they are good for.
When you say you are currently using Storage Data Protector, is that
HP's Data Protector? I know that has preexec and postexec scripts that
run prior to the whole backup, and after the whole backup.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup Scripting Question (NBU 6.0 MP3)
Enviroment Information: Netbackup Master Server - W2K3SP1/NBU 6.0
MP3/LTO 3
We are currently deploying Netbackup into our datacenter enviroment (we
are currently using Storage Data Protector). I have one backup that
requires a script to be run before the backup kicks off, and one that
needs to run once the backup completes, and these scripts must run local
to the host. These are all Windows clients.
Can anyone point me in the right direction - I am not quite sure how to
do this....
