RSM 2.0 with VERITAS Backup exec 10.0 (Windows2003 sp1)

[Jordi Siquier]

We want to do a backup without user operation.

In Veritas, I need to launch a PRE.bat (calling a job RSM using the CLUI), make the backup and after a POST.bat.

We have two problems:

1) If I use "SnapshotHostVolume" in the PRE.BAT, I don't know the name of the snap, that i need to know in the POST.BAT.

2) If I use "SnapshotStorageVolume" in the PRE.BAT, I have problems with the parameter "UNC Host Volume Name" of the function "MountHostVolume", this parameter can be diferent. The problem is the function "CreateDiskDevice" don't return the parameter "UNC Host Volume Name".

One solution is to use the function "CreateHostVolumeDiscrete". ¿anybody use this function with windows2003? I also have problems.

Tranks a lot, JORDI.

Jordi,

I had a similar situation. I got around it by using the script in the attached text file. It ensures that the snapshot always has the same name each time it is run, plus it does error checking and it ensures that the old snapshot of the same name is deleted before the new one is taken.

It's a workaround, but it worked for me.

Good luck.
