HP A.06.11 manual Pre- and post-exec commands, Disaster recovery, Example

The following TurboSTORE/iX restore options cannot be used as they are replaced by the standard Data Protector functionality: COPYACD, KEEP,NEWDATE, NOACD, OLDDATE, and SHOW.

Pre- and post-exec commands

Before backup or restore, you may want to check the number of files to back up, stop some transaction processing, or shut down a database. Such actions are performed using pre- and post-exec commands, which are not supplied by Data Protector. Depending on your need, you may prepare your own executables that perform the required actions.

To execute pre- and post-exec commands, enter /bin/sh and the full script pathname in the pre-exec and post-exec fields.

Example

/bin/sh /usr/omni/bin/script_name

Shell script can contain commands for job streaming:

callci stream job_file_name

Example

callci stream MYJOB.SYS.PUB

NOTE:

Make sure the permissions for pre- and post-exec commands are set properly before starting backup or restore.

For more information on pre- and post-exec commands, see the online Help index: “pre- and post-exec commands”.

Disaster recovery

Disaster recovery on MPE/iX is performed manually and involves recovering the system using the SLT tape. In addition, Data Protector is used to restore all files, including the system directory information.
