Scheduling NDMP operations

Edit online

You can schedule backup or restore operations for images that are produced by NDMP operations. Use administrative schedules that process the BACKUP NODE or RESTORE NODE administrative commands.

Procedure

Create an administrative schedule by using the DEFINE SCHEDULE command.

For example, to create an administrative schedule that is named NASSCHED to back up all file systems for node NASNODE1, enter the following command:

define schedule nassched type=administrative cmd='backup node nasnode1' active=yes
starttime=20:00 period=1 perunits=days

The schedule is active, and is set to run at 8 p.m. every day.

Restriction: The BACKUP NODE and RESTORE NODE commands can be used only for nodes of TYPE=NAS.
