bpplinfo initializes, modifies, or displays the attribute values for a NetBackup policy. Authorized users can initiate this command.
For more information about NetBackup authorization, refer to the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.
bpplinfo consists of two forms. The options that you use with bpplinfo depend on the form of bpplinfo being used.
The first form of bpplinfo displays policy information. The -L, -l. and -U options lists the policy information in different ways.
The second form of bpplinfo initializes or modifies the policy attributes.
-set initializes or reinitializes policy attributes to their default values, except for those attributes that are specified on the current command line.
-modify modifies the policy attributes specified on the current command line. The rest of the policy attributes not on the current command line remain unchanged.
Lists the information for this policy. This option is required.
-L specifies a long list type and produces a listing with one policy attribute per line, in the format policy_attribute: value. The value can be expressed both in numeric and name form. Fields in the list include:
Follow NFS Mounts (applies only to NetBackup Enterprise Server)
Residence is Storage Lifecycle Policy
-l specifies a short list type and produces a terse listing. This option is useful for scripts or the programs that rework the listing contents into a customized report format. A short listing contains the following information for the specified policy:
Line 1: "INFO", client_type, follow_nfs_mounts, client_compress, priority, proxy_client, client_encrypt, disaster recovery, max_jobs_per_policy, cross_mount_points, max_frag_size, active, collect_tir_info, block_incr, ext_sec_info, i_f_r_f_r, streaming, frozen_image, backup_copy, effective_date, policy ID, number_of_copies, checkpoint, chkpt_interval, policy_info_unused1, pfi_enabled, offhost_backup, use_alt_client, use_data_mover, data_mover_type, collect_bmr_info, res_is_ss, granular_restore_info, job_subtype
Line 4: "RCMD",restore_command
Line 7: "FOE", this field is not used
-U specifies a user list type and produces a listing with one policy attribute per line, in the format policy_attribute: value. This listing is similar to the -L listing, but contains fewer fields.
Selects the verbose mode. This option causes bpplinfo to log additional information for debugging purposes. The information goes into the NetBackup administration daily debug log. This option is meaningful only when NetBackup enables the debug log function (that is, when the following directory is defined):
Windows systems: install_path\NetBackup\logs\admin
A list of alternative master servers. This list is a comma-delimited list of hostnames. If this option is present, each master server in the list runs the bpplinfo command. Each master server in the list must allow access by the system that issues the bpplinfo command. If an error occurs for any master server, the process terminates at that point.
For the display form of bpplinfo, the report is the composite of the returned information from all the master servers in this list. bpplinfo queries each of these master servers. The master server returns information from its policy catalog.
For the policy-definition form of bpplinfo, the policy is created or modified on each master server in the list.
The default is the master server for the system running bpplinfo.
The second form of bpplinfo initializes attribute values for a policy or modifies the attribute values for a policy. The following options apply to this form:
Set the policy to active or inactive. If the policy is active, NetBackup runs all its automatic schedules and permits user-directed backups and archives to be used. A policy must be active for an automatic backup to occur (the default).
If the policy is inactive, NetBackup does not run any automatic schedules or permit user-directed schedules to be used. This option is useful to inactivate a policy temporarily to prevent schedules from being used.

Note: |
This option applies only if you are running NetBackup Enterprise Server and also have Veritas Oracle Edition, which supports block-level incrementally. |
0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled). Perform block-level-incremental backups for clients in this policy.
Enables and disables the checkpoint restart for the policy. If 1, the command enables the checkpoint restart. If 0, the command disables the checkpoint restart. The default is 0.
Enables and disables the checkpoint interval for the policy. The variable interval is the checkpoint interval in minutes. The default interval is 15 minutes. The range for this interval is between 5 minutes and 180 minutes. If the checkpoint restart is not enabled, then this parameter has no effect.
Collect true-image-recovery (TIR) information. True-image recovery allows NetBackup to restore a directory to exactly what it was at the time of any scheduled full or incremental backup. The files that are deleted before the selected backup time are not restored. After this attribute is enabled, NetBackup starts to collect additional information. It begins with the next full or incremental backup for the policy.
If 0, NetBackup does not keep track of true-image-recovery information.
If 1, NetBackup collects TIR information.
If 2, NetBackup collects TIR information and tracks client files.
Collect Bare Metal Restore information.
If flag is 0, do not collect Bare Metal Restore information.
If flag is 1, collect Bare Metal Restore information.
If -collect_bmr_info is set to 1 and Bare Metal Restore is not licensed or the policy type is not Standard or MS-Windows, bpplinfo fails.
If -collect_bmr_info is set to 1 but the policy does not collect true image restore information with move detection, Bare Metal Restore ignores the following: incremental backups and restore files from the last full backup.
0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled). Specifies whether to compress files or not. If 1, the client software compresses the selected files onto the media. Compression may increase total backup time. If 0, the files are not compressed onto the media (the default).
This option has no effect on the hardware compression that may be available on the storage unit.
0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled). Specifies whether to cross mount points during backups or not.
If 1, NetBackup backs up or archives all files and directories in the selected path, regardless of the file system on which they reside.
If 0, NetBackup backs up or archives only those files and directories on the same file system as the selected file path (the default).
This attribute can affect the Follow NFS policy attribute, which applies only to NetBackup Enterprise Server.
Refer to the NetBackup Administrator's Guide for more details.
Specifies the data classification (for example, gold or platinum).
Collect required information for intelligent disaster recovery. This attribute applies only when you back up Windows clients.
Specifies whether files should be encrypted or not. If flag is set to 1, encryption is enabled.
0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled). Specifies whether to follow NFS mount points or not. For policy types MS-Windows and OS/2, setting this flag affects the policy attribute Backup network drives instead of the Follow NFS attribute.
If 1, NetBackup backs up or archives any NFS-mounted files encountered.
If 0, NetBackup does not back up or archive any NFS-mounted files encountered (the default).
The behavior of this attribute varies depending on the setting of the Cross Mount Points attribute.
Refer to the NetBackup Administrator's Guide for more details.
Allows the generic policies for the Duplicate feature or the LiveUpdate feature to be displayed. By default, the policies for these two features are not displayed.
The value is associated with all backups created by using this policy. The keyword phrase can be used to link related policies. It can also be used during restores to search only for the backups that have the keyword phrase association.
0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled). Allow Multiple data streams.
Initializes or modifies attributes for this policy. This option is required.
-set initializes (or reinitializes) attributes for the policy to their default values, except for those attributes that the options on the current command-line set.
-modify modifies attributes for the policy. Attributes not explicitly set by options on the current command line do not change their values.
Specifies the volume pool for the policy. The default is NetBackup. The volume pool should be one of the volume pools for the policy storage unit. This attribute is not relevant if a disk storage unit is the residence for the policy. If the policy storage unit is Any_available (Residence: - appears on the bpplinfo display), the volume pool for any storage unit can be selected. If "*NULL*" is specified, the volume pool is set to NetBackup. To display the configured volume pools, run the following command:
Windows systems: install_path\Volmgr\bin\vmpool -listall
The maximum number of concurrent jobs that NetBackup allows for this policy (corresponds to the Limit Jobs per Policy setting in the administration interface). max_jobs is always greater than or equal to 0.
For the default or when -policyjobs is 0, bpplinfo sets max_jobs to a value that corresponds to unlimited. In this example, the maximum number of jobs is 8 for NetBackup and 2003 for NetBackup Enterprise Server.
The priority of this policy in relation to other policies. Priority is greater than or equal to 0. This value determines the order in which policies are run. The higher the value, the earlier the policy is run. The default is 0, which is the lowest priority.
Specify the policy type by entering one of the following character strings (the default is Standard):
Informix-On-BAR Lotus-Notes MS-Exchange-Server MS-SharePoint MS-SQL-Server MS-Windows NDMP NetWare Oracle OS/2 Standard Sybase
The following policy types apply only to NetBackup Enterprise Server:
AFS DataTools-SQL-BackTrack DB2 Enterprise-Vault FlashBackup FlashBackup-Windows SAP Split-Mirror Vault
Specifies the label of the storage unit for storing the backups that were created according to this schedule. The default is Any_available, which allows the policy to use any storage unit whose On demand only attribute is set to No. If the policy needs to use a specific storage unit or the desired storage unit has its On demand only attribute set to Yes, then specify the storage unit. If "*NULL*" is specified, the residence for the schedule is set (or reset) to Any_available. The policy residence determines the residence for the policy schedules, unless the Override Policy Storage Unit setting on an individual schedule specifies a residence. Run bpstulist to display the set of defined storage units.
If 1, allow Individual File Restore From Raw.
If 0, do not allow Individual File Restore From Raw.
For a FlashBackup policy, this option is ignored, since the attribute is always enabled.
Specifies the server group(s) for the schedule. Do not use this option if the schedule resides on a disk storage unit. If *NONE* is specified, the writing media server owns the media that this policy writes. If *ANY* is specified, EMM chooses the media owner. *ANY* is the default value. Otherwise, the named share group owns the media. Specify a share group for each copy to display the configured share groups. Enter the following command:
Windows systems: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\nbsvrgrp -list -summary
If any of the date or the time arguments follow -ut, they are accepted as UNIX time, instead of the standard time format. The -ut option is used primarily for Java.
The third bpplinfo form (not in the synopsis) shows usage information and has only one option, as follows:
To set the storage unit of the policy tstpolicy to tstunit and view the results, perform the following:
bpplinfo tstpolicy -modify -residence tstunit bpplinfo tstpolicy -L Policy Type: Standard (0) Active: no Effective: no Follow NFS Mounts: no Cross Mount Points: no Client Compress: no Collect TIR Info: no Policy Priority: 0 Ext Security Info: no File Restore Raw: no Client Encrypt: no Max Jobs/Policy: 8 Mult. Data Streams: 1 Block Level Incremental: no Perform Snapshot Backup: no Backup Copy: 0 Date Mover Type: 2 Use Alternate Client: no Alternate Client Name: (none) Enable Instant Recovery: no Disaster Recovery: 0 Collect BMR Info: no Max Frag Size: 0 MB (1048576 MB) Checkpoint Restart: no Residence: tstunit Volume Pool: NetBackup
To activate the policy named test1 without modifying any other policy attributes, enter the following:
# bpplinfo test1 -modify -active
To return the attributes of tstpolicy to their default values, perform the following:
# bpplinfo tstpolicy -set # bpplinfo tstpolicy -L Policy Type: Standard (0) Active: yes Follow NFS Mounts: no Cross Mount Points: no Client Compress: no Collect TIR Info: no Policy Priority: 0 Ext Security Info: no File Restore Raw: no Client Encrypt: no Multiple Streams: 0 Disaster Recovery: 0 Max Jobs/Policy: 8 Disaster Recovery: 0 Collect BMR Info: no Max Frag Size: 0 MB (1048576 MB) Residence: - Volume Pool: NetBackup
The following is an example of a short listing for the policy that is named mkbpolicy:
# bpplinfo mkbpolicy -l INFO 0 0 0 0 *NULL* 0 0 99 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 *NULL* 1 KEY my temp directory BCMD *NULL* RCMD *NULL* RES mkbunit *NULL* *NULL* *NULL* *NULL* *NULL* *NULL* *NULL* *NULL* POOL NetBackup *NULL* *NULL* *NULL* *NULL* *NULL* *NULL* *NULL* *NULL* FOE 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
