Backup Central

I’m hoping someone else is doing this and can assist me. I’ve already opened a ticket with CommVault and they determined it was not an available feature but can possibly be done by writing a custom script.

Simpana 8 SP5

A customer requested to have their server perform a reboot after the weekend Full backup job has completed. The server is not to reboot after the Incremental job. The GUI offers a PostBackup Process option where we add a simple script to reboot the server after the backup job completes. There are two schedules assigned to this subclient. Saturday night at 10:00pm run a Full backup and Monday – Thursday at 10:00pm run an Incremental Job.

I need to be able to run the PostBackup Process script only after the Full backup completes. If I leave the script in place the server will be rebooted nightly which I don’t want to happen. Right now it’s a manual process to add the script on Friday night and remove it on Monday morning.

Anyone have a better solution?

Thanks!

Leslie

My first thought is a little iffy, but it would get the job done.

Do a full backup - save as script (instead of Schedule or Immediately).

Have the commvault scheduler do the incremental backups

Then have some other scheduler (like windows task scheduler or CRON from a unix/mainframe) run a script that executes the full backup executable you created, and then does a shutdown -r (or init 6, whatver OS you're dealing with).

The other option that I can see here would be to have the script do a date / day calculation and proceed based on the data returned.

The logic would look something like this:

If day = “Saturday” goto reboot
Else goto end

Then you run the post script every time, and unless its Saturday, the script exits without performing any action.

Also would it work to have two sub clients for the server, they can be identical but one is used for fulls and the other for incrementals. Then you can schedule and select post backup processes for each subclient. Not sure if this will work but it is worth a shot.

I actually tested that first, creating two defaultbackup sets.  Making one Full backups only and the second only incrementals.  The problem is the 2nd one would still require an initial Full backup and in case of a full system recovery, how would I combine the data from two backup sets.  So I didn’t pursue this any further.

I’m currently leaning towards the first recommendation.  We have an enterprise scheduler, Control-M, that handles all the backup schedules for our TSM environment.  I might go that route and have them handle the scheduling and scripting for this one job.

Thanks everyone for all your ideas.  I’ve also asked CommVault if this feature can be added at a later date.  I would really like to keep everything within CommVault and not have to depend on a 3rd party scheduler.

Thanks!

When the pre/post commands are started the commserver passes some arguments that you can use to control the behavior of the scripts. Backup level is one of those arguments.

http://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/release_9_0_0/books_online_1/english_us/prod_info/features.htm?var1=http://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/release_9_0_0/books_online_1/english_us/features/pre_post/prepost_process.htm#prepost_commands


In addition to the specified Pre/Post commands, the CommServe sends additional arguments and appends them to the Pre/Post commands (if any); this can provide a useful means of control based on the type of job being run. You can use the value of the argument(s) within Pre/Post batch files or scripts to run specific operations based on the level, number of attempts, or status of the job (e.g., for Unix, by issuing an echocommand or including a case statement within the appropriate script). These arguments include the following:
--bkplevel <level>
where "level" can be
'1' =
iDataAgents: Full Backup
DataArchiver Agents: Archive level that creates a new index
'2' =
iDataAgents: Incremental Backup
DataArchiver Agents: Archive level that appends the existing index

At some point, though, you would have to run a full for the “incremental” subclient, which would lead to duplicating efforts/data/etc.

Also would it work to have two sub clients for the server, they can be identical but one is used for fulls and the other for incrementals. Then you can schedule and select post backup processes for each subclient. Not sure if this will work but it is worth a shot.

My first thought is a little iffy, but it would get the job done.



Do a full backup - save as script (instead of Schedule or Immediately).



Have the commvault scheduler do the incremental backups



Then have some other scheduler (like windows task scheduler or CRON from a unix/mainframe) run a script that executes the full backup executable you created, and then does a shutdown -r (or init 6, whatver OS you're dealing with).

A customer requested to have their server perform a reboot after the weekend Full backup job has completed. The server is not to reboot after the Incremental job. The GUI offers a PostBackup Process option where we add a simple script to reboot the server after the backup job completes. There are two schedules assigned to this subclient. Saturday night at 10:00pm run a Full backup and Monday - Thursday at 10:00pm run an Incremental Job.
I need to be able to run the PostBackup Process script only after the Full backup completes. If I leave the script in place the server will be rebooted nightly which I don't want to happen. Right now it's a manual process to add the scrip! t on Friday night and remove it on Monday morning.
Anyone have a better solution?
Thanks!
Leslie

When the pre/post commands are started the commserver passes some arguments that you can use to control the behavior of the scripts. Backup level is one of those arguments.

http://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/release_9_0_0/books_online_1/english_us/prod_info/features.htm?var1=http://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/release_9_0_0/books_online_1/english_us/features/pre_post/prepost_process.htm#prepost_commands


In addition to the specified Pre/Post commands, the CommServe sends additional arguments and appends them to the Pre/Post commands (if any); this can provide a useful means of control based on the type of job being run. You can use the value of the argument(s) within Pre/Post batch files or scripts to run specific operations based on the level, number of attempts, or status of the job (e.g., for Unix, by issuing an echocommand or including a case statement within the appropriate script). These arguments include the following:
--bkplevel <level>
where "level" can be
'1' =
iDataAgents: Full Backup
DataArchiver Agents: Archive level that creates a new index
'2' =
iDataAgents: Incremental Backup
DataArchiver Agents: Archive level that appends the existing index
