I have a bunch of Solaris servers that are running Netbackup as a client. I set them up and my backup admin has confirmed that they are being backed up. But what I want to be able to do is run a command from each Solaris client to see some proof from the client side that the files are being backed up. In my case, root (/) and /export/home are the directories I am concerned with.
My Backup admin is running her Netbackup server on Windows and she gave me a few commands to try from my end and none of them work.
Here is one:
Code:
hostname:/
# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bplist -C hostname -R 1 /export/home
EXIT STATUS 25: cannot connect on socket
hostname:/
# telnet netbackupserver 12345
Trying 172.18.240.135...
Connected to netbackupserver.
Escape character is '^]'.
^]
telnet> quit
Connection to netbackupserver closed.
hostname:/
#
As you can see, I get the "EXIT STATUS 25: cannot connect on socket" error message, but I have no trouble telnetting to the "netbackupserver" on the required port.
Anyone know a fool-proof way of confirming netbackup is running from the Solaris client side? I am running Solaris 10.
Here are the commands available to me:
hostname:/usr/openv/netbackup/bin
Code:
