About NetBackup for Sybase scripts rules
Observe the following when you use scripts:
Make sure that the scripts reside on each client in the client list and in the same location as otherwise they fail to execute on every client. Make sure that NetBackup has permission access the location you choose and that NetBackup can run the scripts.
NetBackup installs sample scripts when you install the software; you can modify these scripts for your own use. Write the scripts to a location outside of the original installation location. This ensures that future NetBackup installations do not overwrite your site's scripts.
If you use NetBackup for Sybase in a cluster, make sure that the scripts reside in a location that is available after a failover.
Add scripts to the backup selections list only if you want to set up a policy for automatic backups. These scripts are run for automatic backup schedules. NetBackup runs the scripts in the order that the scripts appear in the backup selections list.
