    Getting new hardware for NBU 6.5.2 ...Any gotcha ?

    http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/303344.htm There are a number of hardware and software that you should check. The tape drive hardware and firmware levels should be checked for compatibility along with the overall firmware of the library. Also the OS level and revision levels should...

    Catalog Tapes

    You should keep multiple copies of the catalog as the previous poster stated. In your example it appears that the cumulative overwrote the Friday full. If this is the case then the backup would be of little use since the cumulative backs up everything since the last full backup and it was...

    Vault Package 6.5

    One of the options with vault is choosing what backups meet the criteria for the eject. Within the vault profile you can specify what policy, schedule, volume pool, volume group, media server, client, retention level etc... So if the month end backup has a unique retention level, policy, or...

    Rerun SQL Jobs Twice

    I have also experienced a number of EC 25's for sql backups and resolved alot of them by changing the timeout settings on the client. There was nothing actually wrong with the backup setup and it was just waiting for drives and would then fail after the timeout value was exceeded. Not sure if...

    Exit status 6 on RMAN backups

    Thanks for the response! Unfortunately since some of the streams are successfully completing I'm about 99% sure it's not a syntax issue. Also client service is using the appropriate account (same as previously successfully completed backups). Unfortunately most of the technotes for exit status...

    Exit status 6 on RMAN backups

    Wondering if any of you have had issues with random exit status 6 on RMAN backups? I realize this error is somewhat general/vague. When I see these errors they seem to affect one or two streams and then the backup runs fine for the next 20 or so streams? Client is Solaris 8 on NBU 6.0 MP4...

    800 GB tapes and images

    How many files are contained in the 300 gig of data? 100 files that makeup 300 gig of data compresses alot better than 1 million files of the same amount of data. Long and short of it is when it comes to compression the type and number of files is more important than the size of the overall data.

    bpbrm error: cannot lstat </path/filename> Not a directory

    Are you seeing these errors while performing a system backup? You should be using the add-on Oracle agent to backup Oracle DB's and the policy should not be standard. If this is a system backup you should probably exclude the Oracle files from that backup since it will not properly recover...

    Veritas Netbackup Disaster Recovery Scenario

    This can be a somewhat tricky answer. If you are looking to NOT have to import all of your tapes then you should keep a full catalog backup of your production environment at the staging location. Then you would just recover the catalog at the staging site and it would then recognize all of the...

    Running Multiple restores from 1 Image

    You can perform an inline tape copy and perform multiple backups at the same time or just create another policy or schedule to backup the same information. This is of course if you have the drive resources to run multiple streams at the same time? This would create multiple primary copies that...

    robtest eject failing on NDMP drives

    I ended up resolving this issue by removing a temporary lock file in the volmgr/misc directory that had not been removed for some reason. This only happens on certain NDMP backup failures? Very strange!

    robtest eject failing on NDMP drives

    I have an L80 TLD robot at a remote site that has issues when NDMP backups fail the tape remains in the drive and I receive an error message in robtest when attempting to eject the tape (NDMP device busy error). I was thinking of using the tldtest command listed in the NDMP guide instead of...

    More detail on ETrack Incidents

    Has anyone found a way to get more detailed information on etrack incidents? I found the following but it is... well you take a look. Etrack Incident = ET635017 Associated Primary Etracks = ET635016 Description: Due to a memory management issue, the Volume Manager Daemon could crash...

    Eject tape after backup

    I can't give you syntax because I don't currently use the commands but I believe the vlteject or the vltopmenu commands could give you some insight on this matter. Maybe someone else who is currently using one of the commands can give you a better idea as far a the syntax goes since I believe...

    Backup exec tapes from Netbackup

    There is a section of the Veritas Netbackup 5.0 Admin guide on Page 250 that speaks to this. I will sum it up for you but I recommend you read it carefully yourself before attempting! Importing and Restoring QIC Media To import and restore Backup Exec. (QIC) media written with tape block sizes...

    Strange job that i can't cancel

    Does the job show what client or what media server it is running from and if it is a backup/restore/user backup? If it is a backup perform the bpps -a command on a linux or unix client and look for the backup process (bpbkar) . Once you find the PID you can perform a manual kill command if...

    need help - catalog calculation

    The following variables have to be considered when estimating the size of the catalog backup. Some have already been mentioned above: 1. # of Files that you are backing up 2. Frequency of full and inc. bkups 3. Number of user bkups and archives 4. Retention period of bkups 4. Average length of...

    Veritas NetBackup 4.5 For Windows - how to add tapes back in

    They should either be in your scratch media pool or in the available state in their current pool or assigned in their current pool. You can run the bpmedia report (again) if that is how you identified them as being frozen in the first place. This will show you the status of the tapes or the...

    Another Tricky One!! - Media Question

    Not sure if this is what you are looking for but the bpimmedia command can tell you what images are on the tape and where the image starts on the tape and where the image ends on the tape to the exact segments/fragments. We filter out alot of the data from this command to only get the fragment...
