[Veritas-bu] bpverify

[Jeff Kennedy]

What is the syntax to verify *all* the backups that were done in the
last 30 hours for a specific pool or schedule?

I left my SAG at home.....argh.

Thanks.

"bpdbjobs -report" will give you all the completed job info. It includes
client, class, & schedule but not pool. Sweep it through awk or perl to
sort out what you want.

There's also a "bpdbjobs -report -all_columns" if you want to see expanded
information. This form is well documented at Storage Mountain's FAQ.

Just as a side note, the PDF's for the docs are on the CD. I always have a
nice searchable copy on my hard drive as a result.

There are man pages on the UNIX OS with NB 3.4 and with NB 4.5 there is
online help thru the GUIs and the manual are all on the CDs.


# MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/openv/man/share/man
# export MANPATH

Reformatting page. Please Wait... done

NAME
bpverify - verify the backups created by NetBackup.

SYNOPSIS
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpverify [-l] [-p] [-pb] [-v] [-
client name] [-st sched_type] [-sl sched_label] [-L output_file]
[-class name] [-s mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss] [-e mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss]
[-M master_server] [-Bidfile file_name] [-ct class_type] [-
hoursago hours] [-cn copy number] [-backupid backup_id] [-id
media_id | path]

DESCRIPTION
bpverify verifies the contents of one or more backups by reading the
backup volume and comparing its contents to the NetBackup catalog.
This operation does not compare the data on the volume with the
contents of the client disk. However, it does read each block in the
image, thus verifying that the volume is readable. NetBackup verifies
only one backup at a time and tries to minimize media mounts and
positioning time.

Much appreciated. I sometimes forget (like now apparently) about the
-help option. Sheesh....

Thanks.
