    How to extract only columns where header matches certain strings

    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...

    How to backup W2K3 client with UNIX Netbackup 3.4GA master server

    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...

    What determines when a backup schedule is due to run?

    ...through my backup history (client backups report) I've noticed something unusual. I've noticed that if a quarterly full backup runs, the next *monthly* full backup will not run until 4 weeks after that quarterly backup....regardless of when the last monthly backup ran. So if my last monthly...

    bpexpdate -deassignempty doesn't work

    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...

    bpexpdate -deassignempty doesn't work

    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...

    bpexpdate -deassignempty doesn't work

    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...

    How to reset media expiry date back after extending to infinity

    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)...

    How to reset media expiry date back after extending to infinity

    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...

    How to reset media expiry date back after extending to infinity

    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...

    VSPCache files filling up C drive

    ...download, search Google) to remove the lock (or by just rebooting the server), then deleting. We discovered it was because of McAffee's AV realtime scanning...once we put in an exlusion to stop scanning any *.tmp files in the root of any drive, hey presto, no more cache files filling up drives.

    Ejecting tapes into media access port w/out having to confirm removal?

    ...sites each with up to 30 tapes coming out each time...that could be an even worse nightmare. I can't understand why Veritas have chosen to make things extremely difficult with 4.5/5.1...it was *so* easy with 3.4...point, click, choose 'eject'...why on earth is it so difficult now? Bizarre. M

    Ejecting tapes into media access port w/out having to confirm removal?

    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...

    Is VSP turned on or off...no idea..causing problems

    > 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...

    How to backup a range of Exchange mailboxes

    ...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 when I try this in 3.4.1 the backup fails with 'none of the files in the list exist'...

    Help with media vs. image database verify

    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...

    ...please can anyone help...NB5.1MP1 W2K3...got a client that has suddenly stopped backing up, backup jobs hang at the 'begin writing' stage.

    How to fix image database inconsistencies

    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...

    How to fix image database inconsistencies

    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...
