About external procedure data transfer
You can use the bmrc command to transfer files from the BMR master server to a client during a restore.
On UNIX systems, store data in the /tmp file system or in the file systems that are mounted under /tmp. All other file systems are read only during a restore.
On Windows systems, transferred files are stored in the current directory by default. The directory is %SystemDrive%\ during restore. The directory is %HOMEPATH% during the first boot procedure. You can specify other path names or file names on the command line.
The following is an example of using the bmrc command to transfer a file from the master server to the client:
bmrc -operation pull -resource procedure -client clientName -source file_on_server -destination /tmp/filename
When you start the bmrc command in an external procedure, specify the full path in the restore environment, as follows:
On UNIX and Linux clients:
/usr/openv/NetBackup/binOn Microsoft Windows clients:
%SystemDrive%\BMR\NBU\binAt the first boot external procedure point, the path to the bmrc command is
install_path\NetBackup\binon Microsoft Windows clients.
For more information about the bmrc command, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.
