NetWorker command line examples

Note: The "savegrp" command is executed on a NetWorker server.

savegrp ARTLAB

  Starts backups for every client in the "ARTLAB" group and
  uses the schedule defined for each client or the "ARTLAB"
  group. If the group schedule exists it takes precedence.

savegrp -c monet ARTLAB

  Starts a backup for the client "monet", and uses the schedule
  defined for "monet" or the schedule for the "ARTLAB" group. If
  the group schedule exists it takes precedence. 

savegrp -l full -c monet ARTLAB

  Starts an explicit full backup for the client "monet"
  regardless of the defined schedule for the client or the
  "ARTLAB" group.

Note: The "save" command is executed on a NetWorker client.

save /export/home/jeffd

  Starts a backup of the "/export/home/jeffd" directory to
  the default NetWorker server. Without any additional
  specifications, I believe this will cause a volume from
  the "default" pool to be used.

save -s bserver -p FULL -l full /export/home/jeffd

  Starts an explicit full backup of the "/export/home/jeffd"
  directory to the backup server named "bserver" and causes
  a volume from the "FULL" pool to be used. The "-s" option
  is only relevant if there are multiple backup servers 
  available to this client.

Note: The "recover" command is executed on a NetWorker client.

recover

  Enter the "recover" interactive interface to the default
  backup server. This is known as "browsing" the client indexes.
  The interactive interface has numerous subcommands to
  facilitate selection of files to recover. Refer to the
  NetWorker command line reference manual for a list of these
  commands or simply enter "?" while in the interactive interface.

recover -s bserver

  Enter the "recover" interactive interface to the backup server
  named "bserver".

recover -s bserver /export/home/jeffd/projects/OTS

  Recover all the files in the "/export/home/jeffd/projects/OTS"
  directory from the backup server named "bserver". NetWorker
  will automatically use the appropriate combination of full
  and incremental backup volumes to restore the directory.

recover -s bserver -S 14527786

  Recover the saveset indicated by the SSID "14527786" from
  the backup server named "bserver". An SSID identifies a 
  chronologically and source specific backup. SSIDs can be 
  determined using the "mminfo" command.

Note: The "mminfo" command is typically performed on a NetWorker
      server.

mminfo -m -q "client=monet,savetime>=last week"

  Display a media report of all volumes used for backups of 
  client "monet" in the past week.

mminfo -a -r "volume,%used,pool"

  Display a report of all volumes showing the volume name,
  % of space used on the volume, and the pool to which the
  volume belongs.

mminfo -q "client=monet" -r "ssid,name,totalsize,savetime,volume"

  Display a report of all savesets from client monet, showing
  the SSID, saveset name (file system or directory), total
  size of the saveset, the savetime of the saveset, and the
  volume it was written to.

mminfo -B

  Run a defined query to report bootstrap savesets which have
  been generated in the last five weeks.

Note: The "nsrmm" command is performed on a NetWorker server.

nsrmm -m -f /dev/rmt/0cbn FULL.20020103

  Mounts the volume named "FULL.20020103" on the specified 
  stand-alone tape drive. Presumably someone has loaded the
  tape in the drive.

nsrmm -m -l -f /dev/rmt/0cbn -b FULL FULL.20020109

  Writes a NetWorker label "FULL.20020109" on the tape in
  the specified stand-alone tape drive, adds the volume to
  the "FULL" pool, and mounts it. Presumably someone has 
  loaded a blank or recyclable tape in the drive. This also
  adds the volume name to the media manager database.

nsrmm -u -f /dev/rmt/0

  Unmount the volume in the specified device. This is a 
  logical action - the volume remains in the device.

nsrmm -j -f /dev/rmt/0

  Eject the volume from the specified device. This is a physical
  action.

nsrmm -o recyclable INCR.20011210

  Set the volume "INCR.20011210" to recyclable mode.

nsrmm -d ENGR.OFFSITE.001

  Delete the volume "ENGR.OFFSITE.001" from the media manager
  database.

Note: The nsrjb command is performed on a NetWorker server
      with a jukebox attached.

nsrjb

  A plain "nsrjb" command shows the volumes present in the
  jukebox slots and in the jukebox drives.

nsrjb -d -P1 -S26

  Deposit a tape cartridge from access port slot 1 (-P1)
  to jukebox slot 26 (-S26).

nsrjb -w -S236 -P5

  Withdraw a tape cartridge from jukebox slot 236 to
  access port slot 5.

nsrjb -l -f /dev/rmt/0cbn B00341

  Load volume B00341 into jukebox device /dev/rmt/0cbn.

nsrjb -l -f /dev/rmt/6cbn -S 26

  Load a tape cartridge from jukebox slot 26 into jukebox
  device /dev/rmt/6cbn.

nsrjb -u -f /dev/rmt/6cbn

  Unload the tape cartridge in jukebox device /dev/rmt/6cbn
  back to the jukebox slot it came from.

nsrjb -L -f /dev/rmt/2cbn -S 177 -b FULL

  Load the tape cartridge in jukebox slot 177 into jukebox
  device /dev/rmt/2cbn and write a label on it indicating
  that it is in the FULL pool. This example assumes that
  the jukebox has a barcode reader, that the tape cartridge
  has a barcode attached, and NetWorker is configured to
  automatically use barcodes for logical labels. This also
  updates the media index database.

nsrjb -HE

  Unload all jukebox drives and reset them.

nsrjb -IE -S307 -f /dev/rmt/4cbn

  Inventory the contents of slot 307 using jukebox device
  /dev/rmt/4cbn.

Note: The "nsrclone" command is executed on a NetWorker server.
      This action requires the use of two backup devices
      simultaneously, a source device and a destination device.
      Source and destination do not have to be the same kind of
      device or the same size volumes. NetWorker will use as
      many of the destination volumes as necessary to complete
      the cloning.

nsrclone -b FULLCLONE 14527786

  Clone the data in the saveset identified by SSID "14527786"
  onto a volume in the "FULLCLONE" pool. NetWorker identifies
  the source volume, mounts it, mounts a volume from the 
  destination pool, then duplicates the data from source to
  destination.

nsrclone -b FULLCLONE B00341

  Clone the savesets from volume B00341 onto a volume in the
  "FULLCLONE" pool. 

Note: The nsrck command is performed on a NetWorker server.

nsrck -c monet

  Perform a consistency check and repair of the indexes for
  client "monet". In NetWorker V5, between 1 and 4 check 
  phases are performed, depending on the current state of the
  indexes. I am not certain about NetWorker V6 since the
  client index database form has changed.

nsrck -F -c monet

  Perform a consistency check and repair of the indexes for
  client "monet" and force all phases to be performed. The
  -F option also forces compression on the client indexes.

Note: The scanner command is performed on a NetWorker server.

scanner -i /dev/rmt/0cbn

  Scan the volume in device /dev/rmt/0cbn and rebuild media
  and online indexes from the data found on the tape.

scanner -B /dev/rmt/0cbn

  Scan the volume in device /dev/rmt/0cbn and identify
  bootstrap images on it. A bootstrap image is necessary to
  rebuild damaged or destroyed NetWorker server and media
  indexes, as well as server resource files.
  See "mmrecov" for performing such a recovery.

Note: The mmrecov command is performed on a NetWorker server.

mmrecov /dev/rmt/0cbn

  Initiate the recovery of a NetWorker server's online index
  and media index from the volume loaded in /dev/rmt/0cbn.
  The mmrecov utility will prompt for information regarding
  the SSID and record number of the appropriate bootstrap 
  image on the volume. This information must be known
  BEFORE initiating this process,

  The SSID and record number can be determined by either of
  the "mminfo" or "scanner" commands described above. Of course,
  if the server is in a damaged state, the "mminfo" command
  won't work and the "scanner" method must be used. The "mminfo"
  method is only useful if it is employed before damage occurs
  and the information is recorded offline.
