About the backup script for NetBackup for Greenplum

NetBackup for Greenplum scripts send the directives that initiate a backup of the specified database to the Greenplum server. The NetBackup for Greenplum installation process includes the following example script:

/usr/openv/netbackup/ext/db_ext/greenplum/scripts/greenplum_backup.sh

To ensure that scripts run successfully on all nodes, verify that:

  • The scripts reside on each client in the client list and in the same location on each client.

  • The script location is registered.

  • That NetBackup can access the script location.

  • The scripts reside outside of the scripts directory. Otherwise, subsequent NetBackup upgrades can overwrite your site's scripts.

See the following for details on how to modify the script for your environment.

See Modify the backup script for NetBackup for Greenplum.
