Modifying the backup script for NetBackup for Sybase on Windows

The following procedure shows how to modify the backup script.

To modify the sybase_mdb_backup.cmd 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. Make sure there is share access to the script.
  3. Use a text editor to open the sybase_mydb_backup.cmd script.
  4. Modify the sybase_mydb_backup.cmd script using the instructions in the script itself.
  5. You can modify the sybase_mydb_backup.cmd script to back up more than one database. For example, the following DUMP commands back up two different databases, db1 and db2, and use two different Sybase policy configurations:

    See About configuring a backup policy for Sybase .

    dump database db1 to "sybackup::-POLICY db1-policy"
    go
    dump database db2 to "sybackup::-POLICY db2-policy"
    go
    
  6. Save and close the file.
  7. Test the script you modified.

    More information is available for how to test scripts.

    See ???.
