Description
Backup and Restore Functional Description
bpcd On UNIX clients, bpcd is the NetBackup client daemon and lets
NetBackup start programs on remote hosts (can be UNIX clients
or other servers). For example, the server can connect to UNIX
clients without requiring /.rhosts entries on the remote host.
The program is used when bpsched starts bpbrm and when
bpbrm communicates with the client.
(For a description of the NetBackup client daemon on PC clients,
see BPCDW32.EXE, BPCD.NLM, and NetBackupBPCD later in
this table.)
Started By: inetd.
Stopped By: Completion of operation.
Debug Log: bpcd.log on both client and server.
BPCD.NLM On NetWare clients, this is the executable file that starts the
NetBackup client daemon.
Started By: When you start the Novell NetWare system if you
add load bpcd to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file. Otherwise, with the
LOAD BPCD command.
Stopped By: UNLOAD BP command
Debug Log: BPCD.LOG file in the NetBackup logs directory on
the client.
BPCDW32.EXE On Windows 95 and NT/2000 clients, this is the executable file
that starts the NetBackup client daemon.
Started By: When Windows starts if the daemon is in the Startup
group. Otherwise, by double clicking on its icon.
Stopped By: On Windows NT/2000, you can stop it through the
Services application in the Control Panel. On Windows 95, you
can stop it by clicking on its icon and choosing Close.
Debug Log: BPCD.LOG file in the NetBackup logs directory on
the client.
bpdbjobs On UNIX master servers, this program is used to clean up the
NetBackup jobs database.
Started By:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpdbjobs. When
bprd starts, it runs this command automatically. The
administrator can also execute it manually or with a cron job.
Stopped By: There is no terminate option for this command
outside of using kill.
Debug Log: bpdbjobs.log on the server.
