Hi

This is what I did.
At the same place you config (dont remember the exact steps you have to du)youre Master server catalog backup. You can add the UNC path to the media servers files. This will give you the media servers catalog backup.

nani,

To run the DB backup on a UNIX system, you would type:

/opt/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpbackupdb -v > /path/to/output

You will also have to assign a tape number for the database backup, but I'm not sure how to do that from the command line. From the xnb GUI, you go to Backup Management/File/Change NetBackup DB Backup Attributes and enter in the media ID.

To run a catalog backup, run the following command:

/opt/openv/netbackup/bin/bpbackup -w -i -h $HOST -c $CLASS -s $SCHED -t 0 -L logfile_name

Hope this helps.
