Need to know abt the batch files---Back Up Job To Veritas

  • Hi,

    We have a job in our prod servers which runs every night. The job is to take a backup of all the databases on that particular server. The DBs are backed onto a tapes. That is What I heard. Each step in the job takes a backup of every DB in the Server.

    When I go to that job and see the steps and press "Edit" button to see what it is doing. I saw the text something as below.

    "C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\dbbackex.exe" -f "C:\Progra~1\VERITAS\NetBackup\dbext\MSSQL\msdb_65.bch" -p "ftwp1lrehvd01_SQL_Databases " -s ebuftwspa01 -np

    The above step is taking the backup of the MSDB DB.

    Can any one elobarate abt the above Step. Particularly I need to Know what "-p" and "-s" and -np mean?

    I went and looked at the Batch File(msdb_65.bch) as well. Its Contents are as below.

    OPERATION BACKUP

    DATABASE "msdb"

    SQLHOST "FTWP1LREHVV01"

    SQLINSTANCE "HVCSQL01"

    NBSERVER "EBUFTWSPA01-EBU"

    MAXTRANSFERSIZE 6

    BLOCKSIZE 7

    BROWSECLIENT "ftwp1lrehvv01g"

    NUMBUFS 2

    ENDOPER TRUE

    Can any one explain me the above lines in the batch file?
