Shyam,

 

I have been told I cannot do this by Symantec.  I thought it would be possible as this information is text based but I placed a call with support outlining what I was proposing and was told no.

 

Regards,

 

Paul Esson

Instead of creating policies from scratch, I would suggest copying the entire db/class folders to the new netbackup server and modify it.

Folks,

 

I am looking at having to migrate policy information between two NetBackup Domains (Windows 2000/5.1 MP6 to Solaris 10/6.5.2)

My intention is to capture the existing information via a script or series of scripts and to use that same data as source information in creating the new policies.  Somewhere along the line I will need to substitute in the new storage unit and volume pool information.

 

As a starting point I have identified the following sequence and commands.  Am I on the right lines here?

 

• List and capture policy and schedule attributes in the 5.1 Domain

 

bppllist

 

bpplsched

 

 

 

• Add the policies and schedules to the 6.5 Domain

 

bppolicynew

 

bpplinfo –set

 

bpplsched –add

 

 

• Update the policy attributes, including client and pathname Information

 

bpplclients [policy_name] –add [host_name]

 

bpplinclude [policy_name] –add [pathname]
