Backup restarts in Netbackup 5.1

[hermxl1]

HI,

Does anyone know if there is a "pick up where left off" option on the bpbackup command in 5.1? I know you can set the checkpoint option on a policy, but how do you use it from the commandline?

Thanks....

I'm not sure because I have not tested this but perhaps the bodbjobs command with the -resume option can do this.


/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpdbjobs -resume | -suspend |
-delete | -cancel | -restart job1,job2,...jobn
|type=jobtype|type=all [-M master_server] [-quiet]

-resume job1,job2,...jobn |type=jobtype|type=all
Resumes the jobs specified by job1,job2,...jobn, all eligible jobs indicated
by jobtype, or all eligible jobs if type=all is specified. Because the only
jobs that can be suspended at this time are restore jobs, specifying
type=restore has the same affect as specifying type=all.
Enter one of the following as jobtype. (The letters following the
capitalized letters are ignored):
REStore
BACkup
ARChive
DUPlicate
IMPort
LABel
VAUlt
VERify
DBbackup | CATalogbackup

Just because the Veritas documentation states a certain thing does not make it a fact

maybe even better would be the restart option

-restart job1,job2,...jobn |type=jobtype|type=all
Allows bpdbjobs to cleanly restart a job indicated by the jobtype. This
command supports backups and enables you to restart a job by typing the
word BACKUP in the Activity Monitor.
