Veritas NetBackup™ Bare Metal Restore™ Administrator's Guide

Specifying external procedures

You must specify during the prepare-to-restore operation that you want to run external procedures. The BMR master server then creates the appropriate external procedure scripts and uses them during the restore.

Note:

External procedures should be in the BMR database before the prepare-to-restore or prepare-to-discover operation is started.

To specify external procedures,

  • Select Run External Procedures in a Prepare To Discover or Prepare to Restore Client dialog box.

    See Discovering a configuration.

    See Preparing a client for restore.

  • Alternatively, use the bmrprep command -runep option to specify external procedures.
