Adding a script to the backup selections list

The following procedure describes how to add a script to the backup selections list.

Note:

Be sure to specify the correct script name in the backup selections list to prevent an error or a wrong operation.

To add a script to the backup selections list

  1. Open the policy.
  2. Select the Backup selections tab.
  3. Select Add.
  4. In the Script box, type the full path name of a script on the client.

    For example:

    /backup_scripts/db/cold_backup.sh
    C:\backup_scripts\db\cold_backup.cmd

  5. Select Add to add the script to the list.
  6. Select Save.

Note:

Be aware of what may happen if an automatic schedule invokes a script that a user authored. NetBackup does not provide safeguards to prevent an automatic backup schedule from running a restore or a recovery script.
