Performing SQLite backups

Prerequisites

Before you perform the backups, you must meet the following prerequisites:

  • Ensure that the user has administrator (Windows) or root (Linux) access.

  • (Windows) Set the NetBackup\bin directory in the user variable path.

  • Configure the DataStore policy from the NetBackup Administration Console.

  • (LVM) Verify that there is enough space for the snapshot in the volume group, and then set the snapshot size by the command line.

    Note:

    Ensure that the snapshot size is 110% of the file size that you want to backup.

To run backup

  1. Configure the parameters on the nbsqlite command line.
  2. Run the following command:

    nbsqlite -o backup

    -S primary_server_name

    -P policy_name

    -s schedule_name

    (Linux) -z snapshot_size

    -d sqlitedb_db_path

Scheduling the SQLite backups from the NetBackup

You can schedule SQLite backups from the NetBackup Administration Console using the DataStore policy to call a backup script.
