Hi, thanks for the quick reply, however this doesn't seem to work, it outputs all the data (it doesn't extract just the specific columns I want). For example I have a csv file (called test2.csv) containing the following: "barney","fred","wilma" 1,2,3 4,5,6 7,8,9 I just want to extract the...

Hi, please can someone help. I have a huge csv file with thousands of columns in it, each column has a column header (in the first row). I need to extract only the columns where the header contains a certain string. eg. I only want to extract all the columns where the header contains the...

Suspected as much-do you have any links to confirmation of this on Veritas'/Symantec's website so's I can prove this to management? I've looked, can't find. I can see that W2K3 isn't mentioned in the NB3.4.1 client compatibility list..but that doesn't confirm it for me, the list could have been...

Hi please help we have a Netbackup 3.4GA UNIX master server, backing up lots of UNIX and NT4 boxes.We now need to back up one of our W2K3 clients. Which Netbackup client version do we install on the W2K3 client, that will work with the UNIX Netbackup 3.4GA master? Thank you Mike

Hi, please can anyone help explain..when a job has multiple schedules, how does Netbackup 5.1 work out which schedule is due to run? I have a job with 3 schedules with different frequencies: Daily_Incremental - freq. 1 day, M-Th 8pm-8am Weekly_Full - freq. 4 days, Fri 8pm-Mon 8am Monthly_Full -...

Hi Bob, thanks for the reply, I'll take a look at that technote. M PS. Restores are fine, we've never had a problem restoring backups from this turned off media server. We just added the <oldmediaserver> <newmediaserver> pairing to the 'force_restore_media_server' registry key on the master...

Hi, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, most of that techtip describes what we need to do before the media server is switched off...but it's a bit late for that! The bpimage -movedb commands won't work because the old media server no longer exists (the command times out). Next time I'll make...

Hi, please can anyone help. I have a lot of tapes with 0 valid images on them, showing in the media list report. They're not frozen or suspended and as far as I can tell, they should have expired out of the media list. I think it's because the 'bpexpdate -deassignempty' command isn't working...

Hi, thanks for the reply. bpexpdate -m <media_id> -ret 5 -force was the first thing I tried, that would be the answer to all my problems, but apparently one can't use the -m parameter with the -ret parameter at the same time, it doesn't work...eg (note the allowed parameter combinations)...

Hi..I'm definitely not referring to the expiry date of the physical volume in the volume database (ie. the expiry date we see in media and device management)...the physical expiry date isn't part of my problem.... I'm referring to the expiry date of the media in the media database (ie. the...

Hi, we intentionally set the retention period of a bunch of tapes to infinity using the "bpexpdate -ev <tapeID> -d infinity command". Now we want them to be reset back to the original expiry dates (a 3 month retention). I've reset the expiry dates of the backups back to 3 months using...

Dunno if this is relevant in your case but I'll share it anyway..Netbackup should get rid of the cache files once the backup has finished. we had a massive problem where large VSP .tmp cache files were remaining on the drives after the backups finished, they'd be locked (by the system process)...

Thanks for the quick response Bob. Have come across that command before, and ruled it out - we'd have to specify each tape on the command line...and when we've got 30+ sites each with up to 30 tapes coming out each time...that could be an even worse nightmare. I can't understand why Veritas...

Hi, please help, this one's driving me mad. We have Netbackup 5.1, W2K. Multiple libraries (mainly Storagetek), multiple sites, multiple master servers. If I eject some tapes using the Netbackup Admin GUI, the robot puts the tapes into the media access port so that our on-site tape ops...

> The Option to shut off vsp is via the Host Props of your master server I know, according to that it is shut it off, but it's still being used, which is what's confusing me, and is why I posted the original question. > The VSP files should delete themselves after the backup is done correct...

Hi, I seem to be asking questions that noone can answer but here goes again anyway.... How do I (or can I) back up a range of Exchange mailboxes with NB3.4.1? I believe I can use wildcards in NB4.5 and above, ie. in the policy files list I can specify "Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes\[a-f]*", but...

Hi please can someone help I'm trying to verify that what images Netbackup thinks is on a tape are actually on a tape. I believe the bpverify command (or Catalog Verify GUI) can do this. However when I start a verify operation using the GUI, the results window shows the following, then...

Hi please can anyone help...NB5.1MP1 W2K3...got a client that has suddenly stopped backing up, backup jobs hang at the 'begin writing' stage. VSP is *apparently* disabled (via master server properties, client attributes tab), but when the backup is running there is a bpfis process that appears...

Thanks for the reply OHWS Option 1 is very bad surely? If I followed that I would be removing tapes from the volume database but leaving images for them the images database. Netbackup would think the tapes are blank and write to it, creating new images for that tape in the images database...

Via the bpdbm -consistency report we have identified some inconsistencies in our Netbackup catalogs. Basically we have some images in our image database (ie. images on media report) that shouldn't be there, they should have expired long ago, relating to expired tapes that no longer appear in the...
