New_Backup Selection...for Windows Server 2012 R2
I need a solution
Good day folks,
I am running NetBackup 7.5.0.4 on Windows 2008 Enterprise. I just built a new archive server on Windows 2012 R2, and when I try to create a "New Backup Selection" on my "Daily-Data" backup policy, the directive set only shows 2003 and 2008 - I am thinking this can only be done for 2003 and 2008 servers. What I would like to know is how can I get to backup my archive server which is running Windows 2012 R2 on NetBackup?
Many thanks in advance for your responses.

Understanding Email notication
I need a solution
I am struggling to understand the Email notication in netbackup. It seems there are at least 3 places in the NBU GUI, NetBackup Management section:
1. Host Properties > Master Server > Server_hostname > Global Attributes > Administrator’s email 2. Host Properties > Master Server > Server_hostname > Universal Settings > Client administrator’s email 3. Host Properties > Clients > Client_hostname > Universal Settings > Client administrator’s email
Suppose I have servers administered by the following teams:
NBU Master: Adminstrator: TEAM NBU
hostX: Adminstrator: TEAM App A
hostY: Adminstrator: TEAM App B
hostZ: Adminstrator: TEAM App B
So as I understand I could use:
email method 1 (Master Server Global Attributes) as "TEAM NBU" so that TEAM NBU gets Email notications for all backups
email method 3 (Clients Universal Settings) as "TEAM A" for client hostX and "TEAM B" for clients hostY and hostZ, so that TEAM A/B only get emails for the hosts they administer
So my questions are:
- Is my above understanding correct
- What do I use email Method 2 for and how is it different from Method 1
- In the manual it says Method 1 and 2 only send emails for unsuccessful backups and Method 3 sends emails for ALL backups - is this correct and if so why is there this difference and why is it not apparent in GUI (i.e there is nothing in GUI that signifies that the exit code of the backup has any bearing on whether email are sent out or not)
Thanks

Recommended Settings for Linux Master/Media Servers
I need a solution
Is there is a list of recommended config settings for the RedHat Linux OS when running as a master or media server? Kind of a vague question I know but I am curious about settings like these ones below...
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time
7200
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_intvl
75
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_probes
9Currently they are just default settings as this is a new site, but I would like to go ahead and best practice it to avoid any issues.
Thank you!

netbackup lto5 tape stored data capacity
I need a solution
Dear Forum,
I check how much data can be held on a single lto5 tape with netbackup.
I made some backup and now the bpmedialist says that I have backup data on one tape 2323751Megabytes. This is more than the tape 1,5Terra uncompressed data capacity. I have not set at policy attributes the checkbox of compression. Is it possible that in case of backups the lto5 tape compressed capacity 3Terra counts as possible saving ammount? Or the policy type also determine how much data can be kept on a single tape?
Can someone gives me details on this?
Thank you in advance

NetBackup 7.5.0.7 Duplication Status 150 and 191
I need a solution
Dear all,
Duplication Status 150 and 191 (Could not get raw segment - no such object. Refer to the replication logs on the source storage server for more information. V-454-105)
We are experiencing duplication status 150 for duplications to from disk to disk and 191 from disk to tape. We believe that the issue occurres due to big workload at the media server at 02:00 am (both backups and duplications jobs are trying to access the disk pool and read/write data). We have procceed at the following tune up's but the issue still occures:
- Maximum I/O streams on the Disk Pool = 60
- Changes to the LIFECYCLE_PARAMETERS file
- Changes the Media server connect timeouts to 60 seconds from 30 which were the default value.
Old LIFECYCLE_PARAMETERS
DUPLICATION_SESSION_INTERVAL_MINUTES = 5
MAX_MINUTES_TIL_FORCE_SMALL_DUPLICATION_JOB = 30
MAX_GB_SIZE_PER_DUPLICATION_JOB = 200
MIN_GB_SIZE_PER_DUPLICATION_JOB = 16
New LIFECYCLE_PARAMETERS

LotusNotes Trans/staged backups.
I need a solution
We have a company here helping or Lotus notes admin build a new Lotus notes farm including the domino server, Archiving server etc.
There are all VM servers running server 2012 R2There are 6 drives on this server
I can handle most of this but 3 of the drives
They want Transaction logs backup. which from what I am seeing I can't do this as a VM backup I am going to have to install a agent on the server correct?
Not the next issue is the D, and E drive
They are saying I have to backup D, before E is backup or it will screw everything up. I am not seeing any way of saying backup D and once that is finished back up E.
Is there a way to stage this with out making 2 policys at 2 different times?
Any help would be great I am reading the admin guide for lotus notes backup now.

Scratch pool in NetBackup Administration 7.5
I need a solution
Hello,
I'm new to the NetBackup, need to clarify how the NetBackup working with DataDomain. The DataStore pools have 1140 virtual virtual tapestapes, Scratch pool have 487 virtual tapes, ToRemove pool have 207 virtual tapes. But DataDomain is struggling over a month over 90% full, and yesterday 98% full. My question is, why it did not pull(used) the tapes from Scratch or ToRemove pool ? Does it need a manual intervention to activate these virtual tapes?

Multiple Schedules in SQL backup policies
I need a solution
Hi,
We're using NB7.5 writing to Data Domain disk storage and to tape.
We run daily, weekly and monthly backups on live SQL databases. We have a policy for a specific backups, and following the support doc here - https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH90544.html - I can create schedules with start times so if the job runs on a weekday it writes to Data Domain storage (6 weeks retention) or at the weekend it runs the weekly SLP (writes to Data Domain with 6wks retention then also replicates to a tape with 1 year retention).
But what about our month end backups? They also happen at weekends. Given the current options there is no way to differentiate whether the backup is a weekly or monthly backup, so no way to set the monthly backup to the standard 10 year retention on tape.
Is there a way to specify an application backup schedule when running the job at the command line? (All our jobs are run like that via a 3rd party scheduler).
If not I'll have to create a dedciated month end policy.
