Activating the Busy File Settings in host properties

To activate the settings in the Busy File Settings host properties, use the following procedure.

To activate Busy File Settings

  1. Copy the bpend_notify_busy script:
    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/bpend_notify_busy

    to the path:

    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpend_notify
  2. Set the file access permissions to allow group and others to run bpend_notify.
  3. Configure a policy with a user backup schedule for the busy file backups.

    This policy services the backup requests that the repeat option in the actions file generates. The policy name is significant. By default, NetBackup alphabetically searches (uppercase characters first) for the first available policy with a user backup schedule and an open backup window. For example, a policy name of AAA_busy_files is selected ahead of B_policy.
