You're right - user-defined backups won't break into multiple streams. You can do multiple bpbackup commands. If you do them in rapid succession, NetBackup will usually multiplex them correctly onto a tape. Something like:
for dir in Microsoft Information Store:\*SG* do bpbackup -p policy_name -s ubak_schedname -t 16 $dir done Of, if there's sufficient permissions, you can build a policy & then call the scheduler to perform the backup. The scheduler can do the multi-stream inherently. Policy has INCLUDE: Microsoft Information Store:\*SG* "Allow Multiple Streams": Checked Build it with a "full" policy but no schedule defined. Then call the scheduler: bpbackup -i -p <policy> -s <sched> -h <host> -M -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michitsch, John Sent: Friday, November 07, 2008 10:16 AM To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] multistream a user-defined backup. I am trying to back up some Exchange datastores using a user-defined backup (we do not want the logs truncated, our storage system takes care of that). I would like to backup all of the stores at once, but I can't get to work. Backing up using a full schedule with mulitstreaming backs up each store in its own stream, but user-defined does not. Can anyone assist me with this? The bpbackup command I am using on the client looks like this: bpbackup -p policy_name -t 16 "Microsoft Information Store:\*SG*" Thanks. _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
