About the nbac_cron utility

NetBackup operations can be performed as scheduled jobs by using the cron utility. When NBAC is enabled, these jobs can be run in the context of an OS user who has the privileges to run the required commands. You can use the nbac_cron.exe utility to create the credentials that are needed to run cron or AT jobs. These credentials are valid for a longer period of time as compared to the credentials that are obtained when a user performs a bpnbat logon. Here the validity is a year.

The utility is found in the following location:

-/opt/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/nbac_cron

For detailed steps to configure the nbac_cron utility and run a cron job, see the following topic:
