Displaying and resetting the Backup Status for a Database Availability Group (DAG)

Use the following commands to display and reset the Backup Status for a DAG. More information is available about how the Backup Status is used to choose the node from which to perform the backup.

See Backup status for Exchange Database Availability Groups (DAGs) and the preferred server list.

Note:

-EXDB is case sensitive

To display the Backup Status database, enter one of the following commands from the NetBackup master server:

bpclient -client <DAG_Name> -EXDB
bpclient -All -EXDB

where DAG_Name is the name of the DAG. The output from this command is as follows:

EX_DB: DAG_DB3				 EX_SRVR: EXSRV3   EX_TIME: 1259516017   EX_COUNT: 1   EX_STATUS: 156
EX_DB: DAG_MBOX7		EX_SRVR: EXSRV3   EX_TIME: 1259516040   EX_COUNT: 2   EX_STATUS: 0
EX_DB: EXCHDB001 EX_SRVR: EXSRV2   EX_TIME: 1259516018   EX_COUNT: 1   EX_STATUS: 0

Note:

-exdb is case sensitive

To reset the Backup Status database for a particular Exchange database, enter the following command:

bpclient -client <host_name> -update -exdb <db_name:server_name[:timestamp:count:status]>

For example:

bpclient -client DAG_Name -update -exdb DAG_DB3:EXSRV1:0:0:0
