Check for BPSTART / BPEND notify script usage

Hi, I need to find a quick and efficient way of check if BPSTART / BPEND scripts are being utilized on any of our clients without logging onto every server and checking the Netbackup\bin directory. Hope you can help. Thanks Nick

  • If you're backing up ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES you can query filelist

     

    bplist -C clientname -R /  | grep -i bpstart

     

     

  • You might want to post this in a NetBackup forum instead of the Backup Exec one as they are completely separate products

  • What OS are the clients? Unix/Linux then you could script it using rsh?

     

  • A mixture of Unix / Windows. My unix scripting skills are not that great. I was hoping Netbackup had something similar to the bpgetconfig -e command used to collect exclude list information ?
  • Hi, you can add to script one line to create log file and save this log in a shared folder where all server's (clients) will save this log files.

  • There is no tools in Netbackup to tell you if a bpnotify script exist or not. I think the only option is to check the presence of these file via a surveillance tool like SCCM/Patrol/UniCenter/OpenView
