DESCRIPTION
bpbackup
starts either of the following:
• A user backup that is the equivalent to what is performed by using the
interface on the client (see the first form of the command shown above).
This type of backup can be started from any NetBackup client in order to
back up files from that client.
The
bpbackup
command processes the files that you list on the command
line or in the file that you specify with the
-f
listfile option. A file path can
be a file or directory name. If the named files include a directory,
bpbackup
backs up all files and subdirectories of that directory starting at the
directory itself.
• An immediate-manual backup of a client (see the second form of the
command shown above). This variation requires the
-i
option on the
bpbackup
command and is available only to the administrator on the
master server. It is the equivalent starting a manual backup from the
NetBackup administrator’s interface. Use the
-h
option to specify the host.
The following restrictions apply to this command:
• You must be the owner of the file or an administrator to back up a file with
bpbackup.
• You can back up files and directories owned by other users if you have the
necessary permissions.
