veritas NETbackup command

UNIX Solaris
1

i am using veritas admenistration console to control all backup operations of our servers .
we use SUN LT25 LTO library connected to a backupserver running solaris 8 .
i was wondering if there is a command that i can use from solaris so that i can activate and deactivate some policeis , rather than to always use the GUI .

regards
cheers

there are more than a few Netbackup commands that you can use on the command line to do whatever you need or for your scripting needs ... check the Netbackup manuals ...

i went through the Document that comes with veritas, i found loads and loads of command ,but this specific command i wasnt able to find .
i.e. enable and disable policeis .
anybody any ideas
cheers

You can also suspend and resume scheduling jobs with the following:
nbpemreq �suspend_scheduling
nbpemreq -resume_scheduling

I deactivate and activate the policies via cron

# crontab -l | grep -i activate

0 14 * * 1-5 /usr/local/scripts/policy-activate.sh

# cat /usr/local/scripts/policy-deactivate.sh
#! /bin/sh

do
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpplinfo $i -modify -inactive
done

# cat /usr/local/scripts/policy-activate.sh
#! /bin/sh
for i in `/usr/bin/cat /usr/local/scripts/policylist`
do
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpplinfo $i -modify -active
done
