Running NetBackup commands using the nbcmdrun wrapper command

nbcmdrun is a wrapper command that is used to run other NetBackup commands on a NetBackup host. The NetBackup host can be a primary server, a media server, or a client.

Certain NetBackup commands can be run only by the Operating System (OS) Administrator. A user with the NetBackup administrator role that is defined in NetBackup role-based access (RBAC) system cannot run these commands.

With the nbcmdrun utility, a non-privileged OS user can run these commands based on RBAC permissions. With the NetBackup Command-line Administrator role, a non-privileged OS user can run most of the NetBackup commands.

Use the nbcmdrun -listcommands to list all commands that nbcmdrun supports.

See the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide for more information on the nbcmdrun command.
