Adding NetBackup for Sybase scripts to the backup selections list
The backup selections list in a database policy is different from the list in non-database policies. For example, in a Standard or MS-Windows policy, the list contains files and directories to be backed up. In a database policy, you specify scripts to be run.
Add scripts to the backup selections list only if you want to create a policy for automatic backups. In that case, add the scripts to a policy that has automatic backup schedules. NetBackup runs the scripts in the order that the scripts appear in the backup selections list.
To add scripts to the backup selections list
- Ensure that the script resides on the client.
- Open the Policy dialog box.
To access the Policy dialog box, double-click the policy name in the policies list in the NetBackup Administration Console.
- Click the Backup Selections tab.
- Click New.
- In the Script box, type the full path name of a script on the client.
For example:
/usr/openv/netbackup/ext/db_ext/backup.sh
C:\install_dir\dbext\backup.cmd
- Click Add.
- Choose one of the following:
- Click OK.
To browse for scripts to add to the backup selections list
- Ensure that the script resides on the client.
- In the Policy dialog box, click the Backup Selections tab.
