Nothing else you have to do. The Administration Guide has a formular which helps to calculate the size of the catalog and it has a whole chapter about the catalog. I am surprised to hear you have so many old images? You might want to suggest a change of strategy. We usually don't expire our...

This is just what we used to do - duplicate the images and stored a second copy offsite. You can do it manually either by using bpduplicate as stated before or by using the administration console (catalog - duplicate). Or you can script it. You can use the bpcatlist command to get all backup-ids...

It is not a Windows Master Server - sorry, forgot to mention that. It is a Solaris 10 and it is a dedicated system - nothing running on it besides NetBackup.

Hello everybody, I am using NBU 7.0.1 and I just recognized the following: In the NBU GUI (7.0.1 as well) I wanted to check the license keys (Help - License Keys). After quite a while I will get the error message: "Intermittent Connectivity lost with the server. Please verify services or...

Hi everybody, we are having a storage server with a large diskpool - many users are storing their data there. Most of the data is backed up in a reasonable pace but one area is not. This is not a hardware problem, it is due to the kind of data which is stored there. What I would like to...

I cannot backup ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES because of 2 reasons: - it is too much data to gather in one policy - there are many directories which should not be backuped

Hi, is there a possibility to exclude whole directories starting at a certain point? What I want to do is to make sure that I am backing up everything. For example, if a user is creating a directory and is not letting me know that he did so, I will not find out that I am not backing up...

@Martin I want to manually resume the policies - that is what is not working! I am suspending the policies with a script called by cron because they are not allowed to run in the working hours. @Bob "Move backup job from incomplete to done state" is set to 72 hours (the maximum I believe) and...

Hi Martin, thanks for your answer but a bug cannot be the problem because sometimes it is working and sometimes not. I have manually run jobs with checkpoints which I can resume one day and again not another day. I'm getting closer though - I guess the problem has something to do with the...

Ok, I understand that the next runday depends on the last run. My problem is that I don't care about the incrementals - I just want to know when the next full will run. So I probably have to script it. Steph

Hi everybody, for a couple of policies I have checkpoints set to 15 minutes (most of them in conjunction with compression). Some of these polices are not allowed to run at working hours, so they are suspended (mo-fri 7:00 am) and resumed (mo-fri 7:00 pm) with a crontab entry. Depending on the...

Hi everybody, I have a question about nbpemreq. Using it with -due, -predict or -predict_all ist giving me the NEXT occurance of a policy to run. So, if I run it now the only thing I'll see is that for all my policies there is an incremental due to run this afternoon/evening. Is it possible to...
