Adding NetBackup for Informix scripts to the backup selections list
The backup selections list in a database policy is different from the list in non-database policies. For example, in a Standard or MS-Windows policy, the list contains files and directories to be backed up. In a database policy, you specify scripts to be run.
Add scripts to the backup selections list only if you want to create a policy for automatic backups. In that case, add the scripts to a policy that has automatic backup schedules. NetBackup runs the scripts in the order that the scripts appear in the backup selections list.
To add scripts to the backup selections list
- Ensure that the script resides on the client.
- Open the policy and select the Backup selections tab.
- Select Add.
- In the Pathname or directive box, type the full path name of a script on the client.
For example:
/usr/openv/netbackup/ext/db_ext/backup.sh
It is recommended that you copy the script to a new file name or location so that it is not overwritten during upgrades.
- Select Add.
On Windows you browse for a script that is located on a client and add that script to the backup selections list.
