doesn't it have to be moved up from goodies to the bin folder to actually
run?
I know tha is the case in UNIX clients.

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....
