These scripts are only meant to be used as a reference. Please do not use these in production.

Executing the snippets for different programming languages

The snippets folder contains code samples to invoke NetBackup REST API using different programming languages.

Pre-requisites:

• NetBackup 8.1.1 or higher
• See the script's README for the corresponding requirements and usage

Executing the recipes in Perl

Pre-requisites:

• NetBackup 8.1.2 or higher
• Perl 5.20.2 or higher

Use the following commands to run the perl samples.

• perl create_policy_step_by_step.pl -nbmaster <masterServer> -username <username> -password <password> [-domainName <domainName>] [-domainType <domainType>]
• perl create_policy_in_one_step.pl -nbmaster <masterServer> -username <username> -password <password> [-domainName <domainName>] [-domainType <domainType>]
• perl rbac_filtering_in_policy.pl -nbmaster <masterServer> -username <username> -password <password> [-domainName <domainName>] [-domainType <domainType>]
• perl api_requests_images.pl -nbmaster <masterServer> -username <username> -password <password> [-domainName <domainName>] [-domainType <domainType>]
• perl api_requests_image_contents.pl -nbmaster <masterServer> -username <username> -password <password> [-domainName <domainName>] [-domainType <domainType>]

Executing the recipes in Python

Pre-requisites:

• NetBackup 8.1.2 or higher
• python 3.5 or higher
• python modules: requests

Use the following commands to run the python samples.

• python -W ignore create_policy_step_by_step.py -nbmaster <masterServer> -username <username> -password <password> [-domainName <domainName>] [-domainType <domainType>]
• python -W ignore create_policy_in_one_step.py -nbmaster <masterServer> -username <username> -password <password> [-domainName <domainName>] [-domainType <domainType>]
• python -W ignore rbac_filtering_in_policy.py -nbmaster <masterServer> -username <username> -password <password> [-domainName <domainName>] [-domainType <domainType>]

Tools

The tools folder contains utilities that have proven useful in the development of projects using NetBackup REST APIs, but do not provide any API usage examples. Again, these tools are not for production use, but they may be of some use in your work.
