One thing to remember is the retries selected in the "global attribute"
as the number of tries per hours, is not used for manual backups.
In other words, you get one shot at the backup. If it fails it will not
automatically retry on its own.

Just create a cron job (script) that
calls"/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpbackup" with the parameters you need.
You will need to create a user backup policy on the Master server for
the client you are backing up. You can have the
script create the directory, call bpbackup and clean up afterwards.
The bpbackup parameters are in the manual
or on google. Be sure to use the -w parameter so the job will wait
until the backup is done, and then your script will
continue.

[Veritas-bu] Starting a backup job manually from remote?
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 :(
