Hey Dan, this is EXACTLY what we do. I have a perl script that handles
full and rotating differential backups of all our AFS volumes. It dumps
them into a directory structure based on the volume name. That way i
create a number of netbackup policies (or classes to use the old
nomenclature) based on the data in the volumes. It can run on any
server with a KeyFile. The perl script has worked for many years very
well. Here is the latest version:
