ok here is a long shot but maybe, just maybe i can suggest somthing and rest of
the guru's can provide more meat/.
how bout we use savepnpc, run a pre-script which checks for the filesystems
mounted, and then directs that output into a file.
then in your backup command you specify your backup command as save -I
inpittxtfile.txt which just happens to be the file to which you outpout your
contents of your script to check for mounted filesystems. So now NetWorker is
backing up the mounted filesystems using the -I option to read in what it needs
to backup.
then when the backup is complete, you can run a post script to rm the
inputtxtfile.txt so that the next time the backup runs, a new file is generated
with the most updated lists of filesystems on that host.
in this situation you can also set your saveset as All, as NetWorker will use
the contents of the inputtxtfile.txt to determmine what to backup.
Watchya think???

Subject: [Networker] Using the BACKUP COMMAND CUSTOMIZATION
functionality of the client resource.
I have the need to execute a custom backup script on the client to
generate the backup list as am backing up a cluster (Veritas Cluster
Server ,VCS) that networker is not aware of. Networker will look only
at /etc/vfstab when ALL is places in the saveset list of the client
resource. As shared file systems are not managed there - I need to
hard code a list of files to be backed up for a virtual client name.
This is limited to non-ORACLE RMAN files. I am not happy about hard
code as will be out of date as soon as I am done. I find reference to
'backup command customization' in CHAPTER 4 of the Networker admin
guide. There it implies that I can specify an alternative backup
command, which can be a script placed in /bin, where save is located. I
also need to have a save command in the script. It then appears to me
that I can then include in the script logic that will discover what file
systems are present that need to be included, followed by successive
save commands containing these file systems. I can get it to find my
script, but it then tries to use the backup command specified against
the contents of the saveset list field. The only reason I am scripting
this solution is to bypass the saveset list field for the reasons
mentioned above. Is there some undocumented solution that I am not
seeing. I believe that Legato's response is that a PS engagement is
required to get this going. Any body been down this path? I have
think yes as VCS is fairly ubiquitous.
