Adding a script to the backup selections list in the NetBackup Administration Console

The following procedure describes how to add a script to the backup selections list in the NetBackup Administration Console.

Note:

Be sure to specify the correct script name in the backup selections list to prevent an error or a wrong operation.

To add a script to the backup selections list in the NetBackup Administration Console

  1. Open the Policy dialog box.

    To access the Policy dialog box, double-click the policy name in the Policies list in the NetBackup Administration Console.

  2. Click the Backup Selections tab.
  3. Click New.
  4. In the Script box, type the full path name of a script on the client.

    For example:

    /backup_scripts/db/cold_backup.sh
    C:\backup_scripts\db\cold_backup.cmd

  5. Click Add to add the script to the list.
  6. Click OK.

Note:

Be aware of what may happen if an automatic schedule invokes a script that a user authored. NetBackup does not provide safeguards to prevent an automatic backup schedule from running a restore or a recovery script.
