I'm looking in NBU 6.5 Administrators Guide for > Unix Volume 2: > > *The backup_exit_notify script runs on the master server. > It is called to perform site-specific processing when an > individual backup completes.* I confused the issue by trying to show the complementary backup_notify and backup_exit_notify in the same sentence. Look again at 6.5 Admin II on page 173; backup_notify runs on the media server and backup_exit_notify on the master. So, yes: > But what I need is a backup_start_notify* *script that > runs on the Master when my backup job starts. As far > as I can tell, such a script does not exist. Is backup_notify on the media server not helpful for your requirement? _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
