Re: Off -Topic - Netbackup Command Help -Solved

I figured it out. 

Symantec instructed me to use a "global" policy for all tape backups(after my 
disk backups succeeded) and set it's application schedule to 24X7. 
This was in response to my RAC questions about having the database node go down 
and still being able to connect and perform my backups. When you create a 
policy you have to specify a host and a path to the script and in our case, I 
made an /etc/hosts entry for the virtual IP and used that. Since the script 
directories are local and exactly the same, this works great. 
However, you cannot call a tape policy because you do not know "which" host you 
are going to be on so you have to define a policy for every node and every 
backup. When calling the "global" tape policy the Symantec(Veritas) client has 
an env var that tell the VNBU Master Server what the client's name is which 
solves the problem. 

So the solution is that ever since I made this change to my backup policies I 
cannot "see" any backups. So since 4/10/2008 I have no backups that are named 
ORACLE_PSEP_BACKUP, only ORACLE_TAPE_BACKUP. So the bplist command worked, I  
just didnt realize that I needed to change the policy name. Thank goodness I 
named the individual files with a DB specific name + unique identifier. 

So now I am left with a less than stisfactory, but completely working solution 
that lists out all backups named ORACLE_TAPE_BACKUP for a time period and I 
will have to come up with a way to limit the listing thru some other command or 
maybe a find or sort from Windows.

Thanks for all your help!

So if you run the exact same command, but without 
the "-k ORACLE_PSEP_BACKUP", do you see the records for this 
policy, and are they shown in all uppercase?
