About the backup, restore, and load scripts for NetBackup for Sybase on UNIX

Sybase SQL scripts cause the SQL Server to send directives that initiate a dump or load of the specified database or transaction log to the Sybase backup server. The Sybase isql utility communicates with the SQL server. For more information about the isql utility, see your Sybase documentation.

The NetBackup for Sybase installation process writes these example scripts to the following location:

/usr/openv/netbackup/ext/db_ext/sybase/scripts

Each script can perform multiple Sybase backup server operations, but each type of operation requires a separate script. For example, you need to use separate scripts for backups versus restores.

The following topics show how to modify these scripts for your environment.
