You may create the script as you like. If you use the script only to change the file selection, be sour that it will run before the policy.
But, yes, you may create a script that will change the data selection and run the policy manually (bpbackup -i), using cron From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sanders, Nate Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2011 9:31 PM To: smpt; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP backups Ooh, so this would simply be a script to modify the actual Backup Selections list, before the job runs. I was only imaging some kind of script that would have to be cron'd to actually run the job itself, which obviously I would not want as the policy/schedule would be outside NBU. I will investigate this.

We could easily automate the creation of this file into chunks of streams for the existing folders. My concern with a manual list is that new folders will be created and missed. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sanders, Nate (DS) Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2011 1:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Veritas-bu] NDMP backups So, NDMP doesn't support wildcards, right? As stated in "NetBackup AdminGuide NDMP": The following backup selections capabilities are NOT supported for an NDMP policy: │ Wildcards in pathnames. For example, /home/* is an invalid entry. │ Individual file names. Only directory or volume names are allowed. │ Exclude list (because client software is not installed on the NDMP host). You can, however, exclude files by using the SET keyword. I have a large folder full of sub folders that need to be backed up. Ideally, I'd love to have multiple streams running in the job. I was hoping to split them out by the alphabet, as in A*, B*, C*, etc. NDMP won't let you do this. Anyone have any suggestions on how else to achieve this? We're trying to backup an Isilon via NDMP to a Data Domain via OST from the media server. -- Nate Sanders Sr. System Administrator Digital Motorworks, Inc (512) 692 - 1038 _____ This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
