NetBackup Commands

This section describes commands specific to the NetBackup product. Execute

these commands in an MS-DOS window so you can see the results.

The following are special conventions used in the command descriptions.

• Brackets [ ] mean that the enclosed command line component is optional.

• A vertical bar (or pipe) symbol | separates optional arguments from which

the user can choose. For example, assume that a command has the

following format:

command [arg1 | arg2]

Here, the user can choose either arg1 or arg2 (but not both).

• Italics indicate that the information is user supplied. For example, the user

supplies class, schedule, and filename in the following command:

bpbackup -c

class

-s

schedule filename

• An ellipses (...) means that you can repeat the previous parameter. For

example, consider the following command:

bpbackup

[

-S

master_server [,master_server,...]] filename

Here, the

-S

option requires the first master server name. Additional names

can be added, separated by commas and followed by a file name as in:

bpbackup -S mars,coyote,shark,minnow memofile.doc
