yes.
bpbackupdb -ev MEDIAID -p POOLNAME -tpath TAPEDEV \
/usr/openv/netbackup/db \
/usr/openv/netbackup/var \
/usr/openv/volgmr/database \
/usr/local/data/drplan.doc
And its good when you are doing offsite vaulting of
your duplicated images. In this way you are able to
say that you have your system at a particular point in
time, including your drplan.doc. Remember that
bpbackupdb will backup anything you tell it, so using
it like this will also ensure you meet those offsite
requirements of your DR Plan too.
As a matter of habit, I use -ev in the command line
above, but I believe you can use -rv as well.
