How to temporarily de-activate policies

by  Stumpr  Posted    (Edited  )
The trick is that you need to keep Netbackup running as normal but you do not want other jobs to run. This is what I do to keep certain backup jobs from being submitted during business hours.

# crontab -l
0 6 * * 1-5 /usr/local/scripts/policy-deactivate.sh
0 17 * * 1-5 /usr/local/scripts/policy-activate.sh

# cat /usr/local/scripts/policy-deactivate.sh
#! /bin/sh
for i in `/usr/bin/cat /usr/local/scripts/policylist`
do
/usr/bin/echo $i
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpplinfo $i -modify -inactive
done

# cat /usr/local/scripts/policy-activate.sh
#! /bin/sh
for i in `/usr/bin/cat /usr/local/scripts/policylist`
do
/usr/bin/echo $i
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpplinfo $i -modify -active
done

# cat /usr/local/scripts/policylist
