Sorry if it's been asked before, but can a single Media server be attached to and facilitate backups for more than one Master server simultaneously? We're trying to ween off of one NBU domain and migrate over to a newer NBU domain that is set up on different hardware and different OS than the current Master server.
Essentially, we want to keep the Media server but change the Master server and not lose any backups (if that's even possible).
Hi Team,
On every week DB2 backups are running,
Just I Want to known the information and Iam their details.
Policy type :DB2
In schdules only Default-Application Schedule is there and there nothing in Backup selection list and it is offline but it actually if it is offline why they keep policy type as DB2.
Thanks in advance...
We have tape based backups on both primary and secondary sites. Can we use SLP for DR? What are the disadvantages?
NBU Master is on RHEL 6.4 x86_64. Affected media servers are Win2k3.

The problem is, I don’t know what I am looking at. It reads as if the jobs ran, failed, ran again and succeeded? The first attempt looks like the second except where the ‘granted resource’ messages should be – they are not present.
‘bplist’ shows a catalog entry for 10/2 20:20, which lines up with the 2nd job:

HI all,
We want to re-store our old backups in LTO2 tapes into new LTO6 tapes. Most of the backups are filesystem levels backups and some are agnet based application level backups (i.e MS SQL and MS Exchange) taken using Symantec Netbackup.
So, what mechanisms are available for us to re-store the old LTO2 backup content into new new LTO6 tapes so that we can scrap old LTO2 and LTO3 tapes.
Assume that we have tape libraries (two) which are capable of reading LTO2 &3 tapes and writing into LTO6 tapes. Also, we already have a shared (common) storage pool, if needed.
Many thanks
Got a couple of tapes with control being given as <MIXED> they are fully functional and the control for individual media servers appears to be no different from a tape drive that a control status of ACTIVE
Accoprding to the manual description <MIXED> but what I see this could also apply to ACTIVE where I have four media servers -> 2xTLD, 1x SCAN-TLD, 1x ACTIVE.
"The control mode for a shared drive may not be the same on all hosts that share the drive. For shared drives each host can have a different status for the drive. The status of individual paths to the drive appears in the Drive Path column. If the control modes are all the same, that mode appears."
Any ideas where ACTIVE control = <MIXED> control.
i face problem when i restore VM as when netbackup recovery options start it's hang for period and failed to reterive netbackup recovery host as shown in fig
netbackup master server is 7.5.0.7
vcenter server 5.1 batch 2
esx server 5.1 batch 2
help please
I am having an issue running the nbdeployutil command on one of my master servers. The gather will complete without issue, but when I try and run the report piece it coredumps. I have a case open with Symantec for this issue, but I would like to know if its possible to download the latest nbdeployutil and overwrite the one I currently have without having to do an upgrade. I just want the latest nbdeployutil command to see if that might help. I am currently running 7.6.0.2.
nbdeployutil 7.6.0.2_00.0424

We have a mix of physical servers as well as VM's that we snapshot. I was wondering if there was a quick command I could run that isnt overly intensive that could give me a quick client count as far as how many clients we are actually backing up for reporting purposes. We are running Netbackup 7.6.0.2 here.
Hello,
I am trying to backup an oracle rac in a vmware – srm environment. Fully randomly – or I cannot tell the reason – I get 5407 error, although database status is open. After a shutdown – startup in oracle, simptom disappears.
Did anyone faced with similar error?
Environment is NBU 7.6.0.1, vmware is 5.1.0, and ora is 11.2.
Thanks

HI,
I do have a problem on a media server (2008 R2). The services NetBackup device Manager and Volume Manager do not start.
As "error" i do have this in the windows event log viewer :
Failed to validate this host with the EMM server
Could not start the NetBackup Volume Manager service: La zone de données passée à un appel système est insuffisante. (122)
terminating - the operation requested has failed (163)
I've found only this KB but i've checked and everything is ok :

Any help would be apreciate:) thanks in advance !

Hello Experts,
My client wants to convert physical master server(win 2003, good configuration in terms of RAM, cache memory etc) into a virtual machine win 2012(VMware based master server). we got 45 TB of front end data. 2 tape libraries and 6 NBU appliances. it is not a small data center.
I really dont know whether this decision to convert physical master server to virtual master server will do any good. I need ur views on physical master server vs virtual master server.
Please share your experience, knowledge on this topic.
I would like to know pros n cons of physical master server vs virtual master server
I know that wildcards in NDMP backups is a new thing...
I'm running 7.6.0.3. We have just started using a new netapp snapvault, and it doesn't seem to like wildcards... but I can run a backup without a wildcard, and it's fine.
Is this because it's a snapvault? Here's a cross sample of the error (exit status 106):

Please Help whats going Wrong. my two drives are Down and vmoprcmd is not giving any output
I have downloaded the 3 files and I see the Unix joining instructions, but I don't see any instructions on how to merge these files together when on a Windows PC. Does anyone have those instructions?
I am referring to how to merge these files...

Dear Experts
The servers are setup with Transaction logs to be 'Archived' and servers are also having successful backup (although some .nsf files are not getting backed up due to file corruptions).
The question I have is , if the backup is happening successfully (we assume that the .TXN files are getting backed up) then why are the transaction log files (.TXN) not being marked for reuse which should happen after a successful backup.
Since the files are not being marked correctly the domino server is having to create new instances of .TXN and this is causing the drive to fill up. Please advise
Client details
PLATFORM = win_x64
PATCH_VERSION = 7.5.0.1
SERVER_PATCH_VERSION = 7.5.0.1
Master server & Media Servers are 7.5.0.7
Hi,
After upgrading the (Windows 2008R2) Master server from 7.5 to 7.6.0.3 I cannot list just the backup images that only have one copy in the Catalog. If I select Primary Copy or Copy 1 from the drop down in Catalog, images already duplicated are shown. On 7.5 the issue was not there, searching for Primary Copy only showed the images I needed to duplicate; now I see all images, even the ones with two copies (i.e. that I have already duplicated).
The Master Server have "Maximum Backup copies: 2" under Global Attributes.
Following RLeon's suggestion in this post doesn't help - everything is still listed.

Hi Experts,
I am planning an NBU upgrade from 7.5.0.6 to 7.6.0.3 on Solaris 10 master server. All the Unix clients are solaris 10 based machines (around 70 clients).
I need to know the different ways to do the client upgrade from the master server to all clients at once.
Will update_clients -ClientList /clients1.txt help by passing the vi file?
I need some good documents related to handling tape library:
Loading scratch(tape drives) into library?
How to manage pools like monitoring scratch pool?
How to check positioning of row in which row scratch needs to be added?
How to eject tapes?
Other day to day activities in managing tape library
