    Restore Oracle DB from online backup

    You are rigth NB will try to use the tapes untill they are full. By default NB does not mix retention periods on the same media, unless you select "Allow Multiple Retentions Per Media" in the Media Server properties. I would recommend create another schedule within your policy with...

    Can you Recycle Tapes written to by other Backup Software.

    I think you will only need to set the &quot;Allow media ovewrite&quot; if AS writes in one of those formats, otherwise NB will use the tapes withount complaining. When you try, Let me know what happened. Regards, MrLula

    tpunmount

    Hi, Try looking at &quot;<install_dir>\Netbackup\db\media\tpreq&quot; at your media server. You should see files for every mounted tape listed under this directory. MrLula

    Tape Alert not supported on IBMULTRIUM-TD1

    As you are running on Solaris, I have a question for you: Are you using patches provided by Veritas or by Sun?? Sometimes Sun's patches are a little behind Veritas patches releases. Check if you have the latest &quot;exteral_drive_mappings&quot; files from Veritas, and if not, try to update it.

    Checking to see which server a host is being backed up to

    The command &quot;/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpdbjobs&quot; will show you the same information as in the Activity Report. Just awk arount the output to filter&sort as you want. I hope it helps.
