You're looking to run the script without running a backup?  Schedule it cron, Windows scheduler, third party batch processing software, etc...no reason to involve NBU at all.

[Veritas-bu] Anyone way to trigger a bpstart_notify script....        (cont)





I use the bpstart_notify mechanism to execute some MSSQL maintenance scripts. The only way I can get this to work is by using a "dummy" policy that backs up only C:\boot.init. (I've also tried backing up an empty directory)

I was curious if there was a cleaner way of doing this. I would really like to use the bpstart_notify mechanism w/o generating a backup image for a single file. (This is actually a large environment with several clients/policies I'm going like this) Due to our stringent retention requirements we are stressing the limits of the catalog and one issue we face is such a large number of images.

Thx for any info.
