Viewing hold details

You can view the list of holds by using the nbholdutil -list command.

To view hold details

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

nbholdutil.exe -list

When you upgrade NetBackup to version 7.7, the legal holds are converted to user holds, which can be managed by using the nbholdutil command.

Note:

In versions earlier than 7.7, OpsCenterallowed creating holds on backup images. Such holds are known as legal holds.

If the hold name of a legal hold is same as a user hold, all the hold names are renamed as follows:

  • The legal hold names are suffixed with _1. For example, hold_1. The number 1 in the hold name denotes that it was a legal hold before conversion.

  • The user hold names are suffixed with _3. For example, hold_3. The number 3 in the hold name denotes that it is a user hold.

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]
