2.4.8 Create JP1/VERITAS Backup Policy

Function

This service template creates a backup policy based on the design values on the attached parameter sheet in cooperation with JP1/VERITAS NetBackup.

This plug-in assumes the following servers:

- JP1/AO server

The server running JP1/AO. Save a valid parameter sheet in any folder on this server.

- Backup processing server

The server running JP1/VERITAS NetBackup (master server). This product forwards the plug-in to this server, where the plug-in is executed.

The following shows an overview of the processing:

(1) The values from the parameter sheet are read out.

(2) A backup policy is created and initialized in JP1/VERITAS NetBackup based on the values specified in the parameter sheet.

(3) The attributes of the created backup policy are set.

(4) Schedules (a maximum of three) are added to the backup policy, and the schedule attributes are set.

(5) Clients are added to the backup policy.

(6) A file list is added to the backup policy.

The format of the parameter sheet that can be used depends on the OS of the JP1/AO server, as follows:

- Windows: Excel or CSV format

- UNIX: CSV format

Enter values in the parameter sheet and save it on the JP1/AO server. Note that the procedure differs depending on the format of the parameter sheet as shown below.

Excel format:

(1) Enter values in the [Policy] tab of the parameter sheet.

(2) Copy the parameter sheet in (1) to the JP1/AO server.

CSV format:

(1) Enter values in the [Policy] sheet of the parameter sheet.

(2) Save the [AO Input] sheet in CSV (comma-separated values) format.

(3) Copy the CSV file created in (2) to the JP1/AO server. If the JP1/AO server is in a Windows environment, make sure that the line break code is CR+LF. If the JP1/AO server is in a UNIX environment, make sure that the line break code is LF.

Note the following when setting properties:

- For the jp1veritas.paramSheetPath property, specify the full path of the parameter sheet on the JP1/AO server.

If the JP1/AO server and the execution target server is Windows, the execution of this services template requires the built-in Administrator. If the built-in Administrator does not exist or is invalid on each server, execute the "Create JP1/VERITAS Backup Policy(SYSTEM)" service template that executes with the system account.
