Veritas NetBackup™ for SQLite Administrator's Guide

Querying the backups

The nbsqlite -o query command lists the backup files according to the options that you specify. You can configure these parameters from the nbsqlite.conf file or provide the parameters using the nbsqlite command line.

The parameter -S is the required parameter. Alternatively, you can query the backups using the -C and -P options to define a different client and policy.

By default, NetBackup uses the values that you have configured in the nbsqlite.conf file.

Before you run a query, set the following parameters in the nbsqlite.conf file or provide on the command line:

  • CLIENT_NAME

  • POLICY_NAME

  • MASTER_SERVER_NAME

To query backup

  1. Configure the parameters in the nbsqlite.conf file or on the nbsqlite command line.
  2. Run the following command:

    nbsqlite -o query -S master_server_name [-C ClientA] [-P policy_name]

For example, to query a backup from the client ClientA, run the following command:

nbsqlite -o query -S master_server_name [-C ClientA]

For example, to list backup files with the policy name policy_name, run the following command:

nbsqlite -o query -S master_server_name [-P policy_name]

For example, to query a backup from the client ClientA with policy name policy_name, run the following command:

nbsqlite -o query -S master_server_name [-C ClientA] [-P policy_name]
