Adding a backup image to an existing hold

You can add one or more backup images to an existing hold by using the nbholdutil -add command.

To add a backup image to an existing hold

On a command prompt on the NetBackup master server, enter the nbholdutil -add command with appropriate options and elements. For example:

nbholdutil.exe -add -holdname hold123 -reason "Reason1" -backupid win81.sky.com_1307425938 -primarycopy

This command adds primary copy of the backup image win81.sky.com_1307425938 to the existing hold with hold ID equal to hold123.

For more information about related command options, see the Veritas NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.

To display help information about the command and its options, enter nbholdutil -help [-option]
