POst processing script on Networker Virtual Edition 9.1
Hi,
I'm currently trying to integrate ADMe with Networker and CloudBoost to take a backup copy of the Avamar data and send it to Azure for long term retention.
One of the issues I have is that I can get ADMe to restore the Avamar backup to a staging server, and then get Networker to send a copy to Azure via CloudBoost, but I can't seem to figure out how to then delete the staging data to free up disk space (or actaully even to get ADMe to tell Networker to run the copy to Azure without a schedule in Networker).
I have seen that there is an option to run a Post backup script in Networker, and I thought that I could use this to delete the files once Networker has copied to Azure. My issue with that is the documentation is unclear on where this script needs to go. It only states to not put in a path, only the script name.
So, does anyone know where these scripts are supposed to go, either on the Staging Server (with Networker client) or the Networker Server. Alternatively, if you know of a way for ADMe to control the whole process, via staging and then getting network server to move data to Azure, I;'d sure like to hear about that also.
Many thanks in advance.

You place it where NSR binaries are. There is video on youtube by Dell EMC which explains it. Scripts are placed on host where they are supposed to be executed.

I realize it's now far too late to help you with your situation but wanted to clarify how ADMe handles the scenario you describe.
When properly configured, ADMe will perform the following steps automatically without the need for human intervention.
1. Select the appropriate backups using backup selection filters from the client group in question
2. The data will be staged to the intended staging server and staging path
3. The properly and predefined Networker workflow will be called to backup the staged data to whatever media pool the workflow is configured for.
4. If the Networker backup is successful i.e. RC=0 ADMe will perform a quick format against the staging drive letter involved using the -upst FORMAT-? syntax where ?=the intended drive letter which is specified within the ADMe job policy definition. For a Unix or Linux staging path no -upst call is required.
