To display the status of backup services

To start or stop backup services

  1. Start the backup services.
    Backup> start [nodename]

    You can also change the status of a virtual IP address to online after it has been configured using the Backup> virtual-ip command. This command applies to any currently active node in the cluster that handles backup and restore jobs.

    See Configuring or resetting the virtual IP address used by NetBackup.

  2. Stop the backup services.
    Backup> stop

    You can also change the status of a virtual IP address to offline after it has been configured using the Backup> virtual-ip command.

    See Configuring or resetting the virtual IP address used by NetBackup.

    The Backup> stop command does nothing if any backup jobs are online that involve Veritas Access file systems.
