Andreas,
try using c:\nul (with one 'l') as the destination.  Files copied there
under NT and 2000 go into the vapors.  I haven't tried it with NBU (all my
servers are UNIX), but it works with "copy" and the like....

Subject: [Veritas-bu] backup to /dev/null


Hello list

Is there a way to do a backup to something like  '/dev/null'  on
windows-systems, to find out how fast netbackup can pull data from a
disk?
On unix I would issue the command 'bpbkar .../filesystem >/dev/null'  to
get an idea on how fast backup could be on a given system.

Thanks a lot
