You would be best checking to see if all backups have finished yes,
otherwise theres some issue with how correct the catalougue backups are

you may also want to run bpbackupdb -dpath /somewhere/  to backup the
catalougues to disk.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] catalog backup by cron


I am going to run my catalog backup out of cron.  Is there any catches to my
doing it this way?
  Is the command to start it off like this?
         /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpbackupdb
If the time to run out of cron during the time a backup is going on, will it
try to start off, sleep, or just die?  I may need to have some logic to
check if any backups are running first.

Thank You
David
