NetBackup Media Server and date bumping

$
0
0
I need a solution

Hi,

     I have a requirement which will require the system date to be bumped into the future (and back again) on one of my media servers, backups taken, the date bumped forward again etc etc.

Has anybody done anything like this ? Would it work ? Assuming the Master generates the backupid, could it work ?

Thanks in anticipation for any information.

Evault - FingerPrint_DB vs Vault_Store_DB

$

I need a solution

Hi all,

Our Evault Backup policies are as follows:

 

Policy1 -

EV_OPEN_PARTITION
EV_FINGERPRITN_DB

Policy2 -

EV_DIR_DB
EV_MONITORING_DB
 

Policy3 -

EV_INDEX_LOCATION

Policy -4

EV_CLOSED_PARTITIONS

All backups run succesfull. However, I noticed a directive: Vault_Store_DB

Will I need this to ensure a complete backup?  Also, can I use SQL policy to backup fingerprint DB and thus, configure policy1 to only backup open partitions?

I've gone through the evault manual and as well, a white paper on this, but, still having issues understanding how this needs to be setup. Our environment is simple. One Evault Server with 4 vault stores.  We only use collections on closed paritions but, are considering it for open as well beause the open partitions have 50 million files.

Thanks for your help.

error 59 when doing a restore.

$
0

I need a solution

Hello,
We are trying to do a restore of a file from a incremental WMware backup. The media server is a Windows 2008 and the client is a Suse 11 server. We are trying to retore the file to anther server that has a NetBcakup client installed.

What we have done so far

At first we tried to restore the the file to the Windows media server and it didn't work. My co-worker put in a ticket to Symantec (07351850) and they say that you can't restore a Linux file to a windows machine. The tech said to restore to another Linux/Unix based client? He also sent us this tech note http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH31677.

 

My co-worker sent this to the tech working the case after we tryied to restore to the Linux client.

Made several attempts, but they failed.   Seems I have a connectivity issue
between the media server (B) that originally performed the backup and the
client (C) I am attempting to restore to.   For the client (C) I am attempting
to restore to, a different media server (A) is used.  Connectivity between
media server A and client C is obviously OK.
bpclntcmd output (-pn -hn and -ip) is as expected on B and C.
I just discovered the bptestbpcd command.   From media server A to client C,
the output is as expected.
From media server B to C, I get (client name changed to C):
C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>bptestbpcd -client C -verbose
<16>bptestbpcd main: Function ConnectToBPCD(C) failed: 46
server not allowed access

I am baffled.   Everything I have checked shows the settings are correct.
Although, DNS has a different IP address for B and C, I have everything using
local hosts files.  Both B and C have two interfaces, but everything is
directing connectivity to use a specific interface (our backup VLAN).

 

Environment info.
Master server: Solaris 10 - NetBackup version 7.5.0.7
Media Server: Windows 2008 R2 -NetBackup version 7.5.0.7
Media Server: Windows 2008 R2 -NetBackup version 7.5.0.7
Media Server: Solaris 10 - NetBackup version 7.5.0.7

 

Any help would be great.

Update

My co-worker had a typo in the bp.conf file eariler in the day. He as sence fixed this issue. The error has changed form 59 to 5 and 2820

Prepare to restore operation in netbackup bmr

$

I need a solution

Anyone knows the fix for the below issue? Please suggest. I am using netbackup 7.5.0.4

there is a known issue with the Prepare to Restore operation in NetBackup's BareMetal Restore (BMR) module which effects all versions which use a Linux/UNIX master server.

The issue is related to a query for the list of backup images that the Prepare to Restore performs. The query sets an end date of '-e 9999999999' which is the 7th of Sept 2014 when converted to a date e.g.

# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpdbm -ctime 9999999999

1410065407 = Sun Sep  7 14:50:07 2014

This means that no backup performed after this date will be included in the list of images considered when performing a BMR recovery.

When I run an Images On Tape report for some old LTO3 tapes, some are coming back with "no entity was found (Status 227)".

I've done some research, and this particular status code seems to be somewhat vague.

Does anyone know what this status code means in this case ?

Hello guys

 

My BMR has failed with word [Failed to verify backup, rc=131] when restore on Vsphere VMware Client. More information as below

 

- I boot client with image from shared resource tree. Client is a new existing on Vsphere that haven't installed any OS before.

- Already change MAC Address and IP Address. This is a test of BMR restoration plan, so the source of BMR is still online on Network.

- This is some log from C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\logs\bmrrst. Full log is attached with this topic.
