BackBox H4.00 VTC Scripting Option

Introduction
10 BackBox H4.00 VTC Scripting Option
The VERITAS server name is specified by a user configuration parameter
NETB_SERVER set in the VT Controller domain configuration.
The policy name is build with the Volume Group name of the volume being processed
(BBOX_VOLGROUP).
The two file names to backup are specified by %1 and %2.
cd \scripting
bpbackup –p BBOX%BBOX_VOLGROUP%
-s INCR
-S %NETB_SERVER%
-w 01:00:00
–k "BACKBOX archive"
%1 %2
TSM scripts
For Tivoli Storage manager (IBM TSM), the scripts were more elaborated and four
script sets are presented in distinct directories, combining two options:
• With or without the BackBox Script Controller
• Archive with immediate deletion of the Windows files, or Archive
with caching of archived files on disk with the resetting of the
Archive bit by a BackBox tool.
Script\TSM\WithController_TSM_Archive\*.*
Script\TSM\WithController_TSM_CachedArchive\*.*
Script\TSM\WithoutController_TSM_Archive\*.*
Script\TSM\WithoutController_TSM_CachedArchive \*.*
The file: Script\TSM\dsm.opt is a sample TSM client configuration file.
Manual_Restore.cmd
A special script, Manual_Retsore.cmd’ is also distributed for cases where the
Enterprise Backup has no command line. The backup is totally operated by the
backup server according its own schedule. For restoring manual intervention is
required, but uneasy for the operators who do not know the detail of the BackPak
configuration, don’t know what was the original backed-up file name to restore.
The special script Manual_Restore.cmd is distributed for this purpose. It will:
- Notify the operator the original name of the files to manually restore,
and in which server and directory the VTC expects the files be restored
- Wait for the files to be actually restored before the VTC reads them to
present the tape volume to the host.
