Important files and directories in a Netbackup setup

Important netbackup files and directories on a typcial unix server:

/usr/openv/netbackup/version --> displays the netbackup version
/usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf --> displays important settings such as SERVER, MEDIA_SERVER, CLIENT_NAME
/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/user_ops/dbext/logs --> log files for rman backups

Example of bp.conf

SERVER = backupserver1.mydomain.com
MEDIA_SERVER = server1-bkp.mydomain.com
CLIENT_NAME = server1-bkp.mydomain.com
REQUIRED_INTERFACE = server1-bkp.mydomain.com

Note that the CLIENT_NAME used above translates into the NB_ORA_CLIENT typically used in when sending backups to tape using Netbackup:

NB_ORA_CLIENT=server1-bkp.mydomain.com
