Modifying the backup script for NetBackup for Sybase on UNIX

The following procedure shows how to modify the backup script.

To modify the sybase_mdb_backup script

  1. Copy the example script to the authorized location on your client.

    Do not save custom scripts in the samples directory. Subsequent NetBackup upgrades can overwrite your site's scripts.

  2. Set the access permissions of the script to 775.
    chmod 775 sybase_mydb_backup
    
  3. Use a text editor to open the sybase_mydb_backup script.

    The following example uses the vi(1) text editor.

    vi sybase_mydb_backup
    
  4. Modify the sybase_mydb_backup script using the instructions in the script itself.

    When customizing this script, note the following line:

    # Replace "database_dump" below with your actual schedule name
    if [ "${SYBACKUP_SCHED}" = "database_dump" ]

    Replace database_dump with the name of the Automatic Backup schedule used when you set up the NetBackup configuration.

    See About configuring a backup policy for Sybase .

  5. Save and close the file.
  6. Test the script you modified.

    See ???.
