[Veritas-bu] Catalog backups offsite
2002-11-07 09:31:11
There is a work-around for the problem I have. You need to create a dummy
file which contains the device path that you would normally use with the
-tpath option (e.g. \\.\Tape0). Then, run bpbackup -tpath dummyfile and it
should work.
The problem I have now is that the bpbackupdb does not mount the tape I
specify. I have to mount it manually e.g. via robtest. When that is done, I
can run bpbackupdb without the -m mediaid option. I will see whether
installing MP2 will fix this issue.

I just tried that and it still used the tape configured in the GUI.

Have you tried option -m in stead of -rv ?

I just tried this and got the same results. Also, I would like to
backup my catalog to a specific tape, ie:
Bpbackupdb -tpath \\.\Tape0 -rv 005106
However, when I try this I get the error that the device path is
unknown. I also tried:
Bpbackupdb -rv 005106
And it actually used tape 005000, which is the one configured from the
GUI.
Any suggestions?
BTW, I am on Win2k sp3 and NB 4.5 with nb_45_2 applied.
Thanks,

I have something strange now. When I run bpbackupdb -tpath \\.\Tape0 I
get
an error that the device path is unknown. This is strange because
tpconfig
-d definitely shows it. If I configure the catalog backup via the gui to
backup to tape and then run just bpbackup it works.
Any ideas ?

Perhaps I am missing something, but why would you not just run:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpbackupdb [-tpath
tape_device_path [-rv recorded_vsn]] [-nodbpaths] [-v] [path.. ]
right after your duplications are complete?
