what is the command to determine if backup completed successfully

[d3h614]

I need a one line script that determines if a backup group has completed successfully or failed.
If the group completes successfully, I want to create a file so that our scheduler sees it and releases a script that unmounts and removes our snapshot volumes. I haven't used nsradmin much and am having a really hard time finding this one command. Please help. Thank you.

This is not so easy.

You may change the action of a notification to create a file. However, this is written at the end of each automatic backup - succeeded or failed. However, i am pretty sure that the command will exit with return code 0 upon success.

2 ways to do that:

- If you use the internal Networker scheduler, you can analyse the result of the nsradmin request, but it's more difficult:

show status;completion;last start
print name:MYGROUP; type:NSR group
quit

- The best way for me is that the scheduler itself submit the savegrp command, and then you test the resulting errorlevel

I use this way:

grep -q -E 'failed|changed' /nsr/tmp/sec/sg/<GroupName>/*

You can try to do

echo $?

to verify the result of such a group.

Good luck!
