On Windows, NetBackup\bin contains NetBackup-specific binaries and commands for administrating NBDB and BMRDB:

• NbDbAdmin.exe

  This file launches the NetBackup Database Administration utility, which provides administrators with a way to perform the tasks based on the nbdb commands.

  See Using the NetBackup Database Administration utility on Windows.

  To access the utility, the administrator must know the database password.

  See Changing the NetBackup database password.

• create_nbdb.exe

  Used during installation and upgrades to create and upgrade the NetBackup database, NBDB.

• nbdb_admin.exe

  Among other things, use nbdb_admin.exe to change the DBA and NetBackup account passwords, or to start and stop individual databases.

• nbdb_backup.exe

  Use to make an online backup of the SQL Anywhere database files to a file system directory.

  Note:

  Using this command (or the NetBackup Database Administration utility) to restore the NetBackup database can potentially break the consistency between the NetBackup catalog and the database. This loss of consistency can lead to loss of data. Use this command (or the NetBackup Database Administration utility) to restore the NetBackup catalog only as a precautionary measure.

• nbdb_move.exe

  Use to change the location of the SQL Anywhere database files from the default location.

• nbdb_ping.exe

  Displays the status of the SQL Anywhere database.

• nbdb_restore.exe

  Use to recover from an online backup in a file system directory that was created using nbdb_backup.

• nbdb_unload.exe

  Use to create a dump of all or part of the NBDB database or the BMRDB database schema and data.

• nbdbms_start_server.exe

  Use to start and stop the SQL Anywhere service.

• nbdb_upgrade.exe

  Used internally to upgrade the NetBackup and BMR databases.
