restore_notify script

The restore_notify.cmd script (on Windows) and the restore_notify script (on UNIX) run on the server that contains the storage unit. The NetBackup tape or disk manager (bptm or bpdm) calls the script when it finishes sending data to the client during a restore. The script is called regardless of whether data is sent.

The scripts are located in the following directories:

On Windows: Install_path\NetBackup\bin\restore_notify.cmd

On UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/restore_notify

NetBackup passes the following parameters to the script:

programname
