Creating a NetBackup touch file on a master or media server application instance

The cp-nbu-config command copies the NetBackup configuration file from the user's home space to the specified NetBackup configuration destination directory. A NetBackup administrator can use the cp-nbu-config command to create and edit a NetBackup touch configuration file in any of the following directories:

  • /usr/openv/netbackup

  • /usr/openv/netbackup/bin

  • /usr/openv/java

  • /usr/openv/lib/ost-plugins

  • /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/snapcfg

  • /usr/openv/netbackup/db/cloudSnap/credential

  • /usr/openv/netbackup/db/cloudSnap/proxy

  • /usr/openv/netbackup/db/config

  • /usr/openv/netbackup/db/event

  • /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images

  • /usr/openv/netbackup/db/media

  • /usr/openv/netbackup/ext/db_ext

  • /usr/openv/netbackup/ext/db_ext/db2

  • /usr/openv/var

  • /usr/openv/volmgr

  • /usr/openv/volmgr/database

To create or edit a touch configuration file

  1. Log in to the NetBackup application instance.
  2. Create a new configuration file in the NetBackup administrator home directory, or use the cp command to copy an existing configuration file from its original location to the home directory.

    For example:

    cp /usr/openv/lib/ost-plugins/pd.conf ~/

  3. Make changes to the file in the home directory.
  4. Run the following command to install the file in its original directory or a supported destination directory:

    sudo /opt/veritas/vxapp-manage/cp-nbu-config <configuration-file> <destination>

    Where <configuration-file> is the file that you created or edited, and <destination> is the directory where it needs to be installed.

    For example:

    sudo /opt/veritas/vxapp-manage/cp-nbu-config ~/pd.conf /usr/openv/lib/ost-plugins
