NetBackup for Sybase configuration or bp.conf file settings
When a NetBackup for Sybase on UNIX operation is initiated, NetBackup searches the configuration files for the policy, server, and schedule definitions in the following order:
$SYBASE_HOME/bp.conf
/usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf
When a NetBackup for Sybase operation on Windows is initiated, NetBackup searches for the policy, server, and schedule definitions in the following order:
-SERV, -POLICY, and -SCHED options on the Sybase DUMP command.
NetBackup client configuration.
To edit this configuration, choose and click on the tab.
In case of conflicts, the order of precedence is as follows:
Command line options
Script variables
Environment variables
(UNIX clients) $USER/bp.conf
/usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf (UNIX clients) or the NetBackup client configuration (Windows clients)
Built-in variables
NetBackup uses a policy or schedule configured in the NetBackup client configuration for all backups on the client, including file system and Sybase database backups. For this reason, if a policy or schedule that is not a Sybase policy is configured in the NetBackup client configuration, use the -POLICY and -SCHED options on the Sybase DUMP command to specify the correct policy or schedule.
More information is available on how to specify a policy or schedule on the Sybase DUMP command.
If NetBackup fails to find policy and schedule definitions, NetBackup for Sybase defaults to the first policy and schedule with the appropriate policy type.
The following topics explain how to enable the bp.conf files.
