File or Directory Contents
bin Commands, scripts, programs, daemons, and files required for
NetBackup operation and administration. On a server, there are
two subdirectories under bin.
admincmd: Contains various commands used internally by
NetBackup. Use these commands ONLY if they are documented.
Most of these commands are not documented and should not be
used directly.
goodies (UNIX only): Contains scripts and information that may
be useful to the administrator.
These subdirectories are not present on clients.
bp.conf Configuration file where you can specify various options for
NetBackup operation. The NetBackup System Administrator’s Guide
has a detailed explanation of each option and how to set it. On a
Windows NT/2000 server, these options are set in the interface.
client NetBackup client software that is installed on the clients during
the installation process. Do not install this directory on a media
server.
db NetBackup databases as described in
Table 8.
exclude_list On UNIX clients, this file contains a list of files and directories to
exclude from scheduled backups. The NetBackup System
Administrator’s Guide explains how to use this file.
help Help files used by NetBackup programs. These files are in ASCII
format.
include_list On UNIX clients, this file contains a list where you can specify a
subset of the exclude list to add back into scheduled backups. The
NetBackup System Administrator’s Guide explains how to use this
file.
logs Detailed activity logs for NetBackup processes. You must create
the necessary subdirectories for these logs to be created (see
Chapter 3). See Table 7 for an explanation of the processes that
produce the logs.
release_notes NetBackup release notes in ASCII format, so you can conveniently
view or print them.
version Version and release date of the software.
