bpbackup
does not back up the "." or ".." directory entries.
By default, you are returned to the system prompt after
bpbackup
is
successfully submitted. The command works in the background and does not
return completion status directly to you. The
-w
option lets you change this
behavior so the command works in the foreground and returns completion
status after a specified time period.
bpbackup
writes informative and error messages to a progress-log file if you
create the file prior to the execution of the
bpbackup
command and then
specify the file with the
-L
progress_log option. If
bpbackup
cannot back up
the requested files or directories, use the progress log to determine the reason
for the failure.
If you create a directory named install_path
\NetBackup\logs\bpbackup
with write access,
bpbackup
creates an activity log file in this directory that
can be used for troubleshooting.
OPTIONS
-c
class Names the class to use for the backup.
If this option is not specified, the action depends on the type of
backup as follows:
For a user backup, NetBackup uses the first class it finds that
includes the client and a user backup schedule.
For an immediate-manual backup (
-i
option), NetBackup attempts
to back up the specified files in all classes.
-i
Starts an immediate-manual backup. This is the equivalent of
starting a manual backup from the NetBackup administrator
interface. You must be the administrator on a NetBackup server to
use the
-i
option.
-h
hostname
Use this option only in conjunction with the
-i
option. It names the
client host on which to run the backup. If it is not specified,
NetBackup runs the backup on all clients in the class.
-s schedule
