Veritas NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume II

Recommended changes for modifying bpend_notify_busy on UNIX

The administrator can modify busy file processing by changing the bpend_notify_busy script.

The only recommended changes are as follows:

  • Changing the RETRY_POLICY and RETRY_SCHED variables from NONE to the busy file backup policy name and schedule name.

  • Remove the files in the logs directory after busy file processing (these logs are not removed automatically):

    • At the end of the busy_files() function, add the following command:

      /bin/rm -f $LOG_FILE
    • After the call to the busy_files() function in main, add the following commands:

      /bin/rm -f $BUSYFILELOG
      /bin/rm -f $RETRY_FILE
