Does it say that in  the documentation?  If it doesn't clearly state it, it
should say only when automatically submitted by NBU after each session or
each backup job.

Unless it is run automatically by NBU, it will not wait for all backup jobs
to complete and temporarily disable bprd until it completes.

There's been quite a bit of discussion on ways of doing these backups
outside of NBU.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] bpbackupdb not behaving as documented?


According to the documentation of bpbackupdb, it will fail with a non-zero
return if you try to run it while other backups are in progress.

Currently, I am doing a manual backup of a client for a test. I decided to
test bpbackupdb to ensure things were working as I expected. What I found
though is that bpbackupdb doesn't fail if a backup is in progress, instead
it seems to happpilly go along and start doing a DB backup of an active
database...

Is there something I'm missing?

Jason
