Hello!

With NetBackup 5.1 on a Solaris master server, is it somehow
possible to start a backup policy manually from a remote client?

What I'd like to do:

I'd like to setup a Unix cron job somewhere (ie. not necessarily
on the master server). This cron job should do some stuff (like
populating a directory) and then make Veritas NetBackup start the
backup and after the backup, it should cleanup the directory which
has just been backed up. I fear that I cannot use the Veritas
NetBackup scheduler (cf. thread "Pre-/Post-Exec scripts with
NetBackup 5.1?").

Thanks a lot for any help,

Alexander Skwar

PS: If this message comes in twice: Sorry about that. I sent
it through gmane about 2 hours ago, and it yet hasn't shown
up :(
