Creating a $SYBASE_HOME/bp.conf file on the UNIX client
You can create a bp.conf file and then use it to specify processing options. This ensures that NetBackup for Sybase uses the correct Sybase policy and schedule for your Sybase backups.
Note:
NetBackup uses the $SYBASE_HOME/bp.conf file only for Sybase policies.
To create a $SYBASE_HOME/bp.conf file
- Create a bp.conf file in your Sybase home directory.
For example, if $SYBASE_HOME is /sybase, you create the following file:
/sybase/bp.conf
- Define the policy and schedule in the bp.conf file.
Add the following parameters:
BPBACKUP_POLICY=policy_name BPBACKUP_SCHED=schedule_name
Where policy_name and schedule_name are as follows:
policy_name
Specify the name of the Sybase policy you want to use.
schedule_name
Specify the name of the Application Backup schedule you want to use.
