Updating Using A Post-Exec Script; Editing The Srd File - HP Data Protector A.06.11 Recovery Manual

store an updated copy of the SRD file on the floppy disk and in the SRDfiles share
on computer with the hostname computer2, type
omnisrdupdate -session 2002/05/02-5 -host computer.company.com
-location a: -location \\computer2\SRDfiles
Make sure that you have the write permission on that share.

Updating using a post-exec script

Another method to update the SRD is using the omnisrdupdate command as a
backup post-exec script. To do so, either modify an existing backup specification or
create a new one. Perform the following steps to modify a backup specification so
that the SRD file is updated with information about backed up objects when the
backup session stops:
1. In the Backup context, expand the Backup Specifications item and then Filesystem.
2. Select the backup specification that you would like to modify (it must include all
backup objects marked as critical in the SRD file, otherwise the update will fail.
It is recommended to perform the client backup with disk discovery) and click
Options in the Results Area.
3. Click the Advanced button under the Backup Specification Options.
4. Type omnisrdupdate.exe in the post-exec text box.
5. In the On client drop down list, select the client on which this post-exec script
will be executed and confirm with OK. This should be the client that was marked
for backup on the source page.
When omnisrdupdate command is executed as a post-exec utility, the session ID
is obtained automatically from the environment and the user is not required to specify
the session ID.
All other options can be specified the same way as with the standalone utility
(-location path, -host name).

Editing the SRD file

It is possible, that the information about backup devices or media stored in the SRD
file is out of date at the time disaster recovery is being performed. In this case edit
the SRD file to replace the incorrect information with the relevant information before
performing the disaster recovery. See "Recovery using an edited SRD
Disaster recovery guide
file" on page 108.
