Clientbackup script
ClientBackup.ps1 is a PowerShell script designed to backup a Windows client using a command line specified policy name and API key. Didn't exactly fit into the directory structure so put in powershell directory.

.SYNOPSIS
3+
This sample script demonstrates the use of NetBackup REST API for launching a manual backup from a Windows client system
4+
.DESCRIPTION
5+
This script will query the master server for policy information and existing client backup images. If the latest full backup
6+
is older than the frequency defined within the policy schedule a full backup will be launched; otherwise, an incremental will
7+
be performed.
8+
.EXAMPLE
9+
.\ClientBackup.ps1 -p "ExampleClientBackup-Win" -k "AybRCz3UE_YOpCFD7_5mzQQfJsRXj_pN6WXLA7boX4EAuKD_kwBfXWQ5bFNWDiuJ"

Requirements and comments for running this script
14+
* Tested with PowerShell 5.1 but should work with PowerSell 3.0 or later
15+
* Tested with NetBackup 8.3
16+
* NetBackup client software already installed, configured and tested
17+
* A policy must be defined on the master server with the following details
18+
* Policy type must be MS-Windows
19+
* At least 2 schedules define with no backup windows
20+
* one full
21+
* one incremental
22+
* Client name added to Clients tab
23+
* Use command line parameters to specify the following parameters
24+
* -policy (to reference above policy)
25+
* -apikey (generated through NetBackup web UI)
26+
* API key uesr must have following privileges assigned to it's role:
27+
* Minimum specific privileges:
28+
* Global -> NetBackup management -> NetBackup images -> View
29+
* Global -> Protection -> Policies -> View
30+
* Global -> Protection -> Policies -> Manual Backup
31+
* PowerShell Execution Policy needs to be opened

### ClientBackup: initiate policy based backup from client
2+
3+
These scripts are designed to initiate a backup from the client using a specified policy and API key. The program logic in the script works like this:
4+
5+
* Look at the local NetBackup configuration for the client name and the master server
6+
* Using the /netbackup/config/policies API, get the details of the specified policy
7+
* Look for the presence of an INCR and FULL schedule
8+
* Get backup frequency of the INCR and FULL schedules
9+
* Using /netbackup/catalog/images API, get the last 30 days of backup images for this client
10+
* Compare the last backups to the schedule frequencies to determine what level (FULL or INCR) backup to run.
11+
* Initiate the backup using the /netbackup/admin/manual-backup API
12+
13+
#### Disclaimer
14+
15+
These scripts are only meant to be used as a reference. If you intend to use them in production, use them at your own risk.
16+
17+
#### Pre-requisites
18+
19+
* Tested with NetBackup 8.3
20+
* For Windows clients, tested with the following
21+
* PowerShell version 5.1
22+
* Windows Server 2016
23+
* NetBackup client software already installed on client
24+
* Policy defined on master server with following specifics
25+
* Scheduled name Full defined as full backup type
26+
* Schedule named Incr defined as incremental backup type
27+
* Source clients added to Clients
28+
* API user with key generated associated with role having these permissions
29+
* Global -> NetBackup management -> NetBackup backup images -> View
30+
* Global -> Protection -> Policies -> View
31+
* Global -> Protection -> Policies -> Manual backup
32+
33+
#### Executing ClientBackup.ps1
34+
35+
This PowerShell script is not signed so you may encounter errors trying to run this. You can use the PowerShell cmdlet [Set-Execution Policy](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.security/set-executionpolicy?view=powershell-7) to adjust your environment to allow running unsigned PowerShell scripts.
36+
37+
To execute, run the command like this:
38+
39+
```
40+
ClientBackup.ps1 -p "POLICY" -k "APIKEY" [-v]
41+
```
42+
43+
Replace POLICY with the NetBackup policy to use and replace APIKEY with the API key generated through the NetBackup web UI. The optional -v option will provide additional information during the processing. Without the -v option, ClientBackup.ps1 will run silently.
