Networker backup of DPM server question....

Hello,

when I do a backup of the client (Windows Server 2008) who was set on the server (Networker 7.2 on linux), with the standard policy, schedule, (I use them on all other clients) and PATH = "C: \ Program Files \ Microsoft DPM \ DPM \ Volumes \ ShadowCopy \", with backup command to the file saveDPM.bat (atached), simply Networker does not make a backup copy of the above mentioned client on the server. In the path mentioned are the files different size approx. 100MB (dump of db and replicas), but the message on Networker server reports a successful backup size of 7 KB?

Can Networker work with NTFS junction traversal .. means that the Networker does not back up only the link, but to work and back up data.

Do you have a suggestion?


saveDPM.bat =

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
ECHO =======START BATCH FILE================

ECHO =====NetWorker PRE_BACKUP COMMAND======

REM Backup DPM Database
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\bin\DpmBackup.exe" -db
REM Backup DPM Replicas
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\bin\DpmBackup.exe" -replicas

REM This command takes incoming arguments from
REM the savegrp command and handle them
REM to overcome batch file limitations:
REM PARSE ALL INCOMING ARGUMENTS
REM and pass single argument in case
REM more than 10 arguments are passed to this file
REM (ie %0-%9 is not enough).

ECHO =====NetWorker SAVE SET COMMAND=======

SHIFT
SET arg=%0
:loop
SHIFT
IF %0.==. GOTO save
SET arg=%arg% %0
GOTO loop
REM These are the save commands that run the required
REM NetWorker backup commands.

:save

REM Note: Enter correct path to your NetWorker bin
REM directory (line below is default path)

"C:\Program Files\Legato\nsr\bin\save.exe" %arg%

ECHO =====NetWorker POST_BACKUP COMMAND====

ECHO ======END OF BATCH FILE====
ENDLOCAL

I believe you can do DPM backups with NMM, but I guess you wish to keep it cheap.

Not sure how 7.2.x (which is EOL) works with higher client on Win2k8 (I guess you have higher version), but I guess one way of seeing it is to run debug and to insect with nsrinfo what is exactly inside your saveset.

Also, you may skip backup command and use savepnpc where most probably you may find this to work.
