Solstice Backup 5.1 Installation and Release Notes

Backing Up a ClearCase VOB

Use the script on Example 1-1 to lock a Clear Case VOB (version object database), do the backup, then unlock the VOB. Your customized script file must reside in the same directory where the Backup save program is installed (for example, on a Solaris system, the save program is installed in the /usr/sbin/nsr directory). You enter the name of the script into the Backup Command attribute of the Client resource configured for the ClearCase VOB. During a scheduled backup, the Backup Command is invoked instead of the usual save program.

Example 1-1 ClearCase VOB Script

exit 0
Caution - Caution -

You must include the save command within your script in order for the backup to occur. If the script file is not in the same directory as the save program, the backup will fail.
