Hi all,
I want to give a retention level of 18months to few of my backups but the only options (NB 4.5 MP6)available are 1 yr or infinite. Does this mean that i'll have to give a retention period of infinite and then manually expire all images after 18 months.
I need a suggestion too.
I want...
Hi all,
i've a small doubt on how NB manages the media ids.
We have NB data center 4.5 and our robot doesn't have a barcode reader.
When images on a tape has expired then what happens to the media id which was associated with that.
I took that tape out of the library and when i imported that...
I don't know!!
It didn't give me this option while I was installing the client.

Hi all,
I ould succesfully install netbackup 4.5 on our Windows XP SP2 clients and after the installation when I checked the server logs I got this error--
get_string failed -premature end of file encountered(5)

The server is not able to perform...
I can ping from the server by IP address and not by host name which is because client is never going to the server and telling about its netbackup client name so that the server could make an entry in its client database.
Ofcourse,I can ping server from the client both by host name as well as IP...
Ya,its actually gethostname which is failing.

Basically the client...
I can't add client hostname to /etc/hosts as our client hostnames (IP addresses) are dynamic. Doing that would mean running a script before every backup.
Thanks for the help!

Ya, but not the whole tape can be overwritten! Just the images that have expired can be overwritten. And the tape remain assigned till all the images have expired on it!
Hope this helps!

As to the retention level settings, you cannot write images with different retention levels on the same tape by default !! This is made possible by checking the "Allow media with different retention levels" in the Media tab.
About the schedules, all the policies writing to the same tape should...
Hey all,
We are facing this weird prob for quite some time and we are on the verge of reinstalling the server but before doing that...im asking for better options.
