Symantec Netbackup Helpful Command – robtest
In working with Symantec Netbackup I have put together a few command line tools that I use frequently to move tapes around the tape library. The first one is “robtest”.

Some Helpful Command Line Tools
Here are a few command line checks that a colleague of mine sent to me. I believe he put them together from several other places so I figured I would put them all in one place for easy reference. These apparently work on Windows 7, Vista and XP but I have not tested each one […]
