End of 6.5 compatibility on Netbabackup 7.5.0.5 and higher

I need a solution

HEllo,

 

i have noticed that since release of Netbackup 7.5.0.5, client compatibility start now at 7.0 version, before it was 6.0 in Netbackup 6.5.0.4 (see in release note)

I know the end of support of Netbackup 6.5 version but how Unix client in 32 bits can be backuped ?

We have a lot of servers and a part of Linux 32 bits.

For exemple, does Netbackup 7.6 can backup Linux client in 6.5.6 ?

If you have information, feedback on this i would like to share your experience.

 

Thank you :)

Script to get media ID, slot #, and media Status (FULL, IMPORT, etc)

I need a solution

Hello

 

I am trying to create a script that will search a specific robot for all Full Media and then eject them into the Import/Export station. 

 

So, far I have found this off of this Site, and works well....but there is still manual intervention.  I still need to identify, using the GUI which tapes are free and them create a .txt file.

for /f "tokens=1,2" %%a in (eject_tapes.txt) do "C:\Program Files\veritas\netbackup\volmgr\bin\vmchange" -res -m %%a -mt <HCART> -rh <robothostname> -rt <tld4> -rn <0>  -rc1 %%b -e -sec 1

"C:\Program Files\veritas\veritas\volmgr\bin\vmupdate" -rt <TLD> -rn <0> -rh <robothostname> -h <hobak1> -use_barcode_rules

 

 

I am looking for a way to capture the Media ID, Slot of all FULL Media and write iot to a text file, to the begininng of the script above.  If it is even possible.

 

 

Thanks

 

Unable to retrieve the version of the server

I need a solution

I have configured Access control on my master server and restart the service but whenever I try to access the administration console on the master server I am getting the error "Unable to retrieve the version of the server". The master server and media server are on the same server and the environment is not clustered. I am using NetBackup 7.5. Has anyone experieenced this issue before??

Gzipped files NOT backed up by differential incremental backup.

$

I need a solution

On day 1, a data file is created. It is backed up by the daily incremental backup.

On day 4, that same data file is compressed with gzip. It is SKIPPED by that night's incremental backup!

The gzipped version of the file is not backed up until the weekly full backup!

I know why: The modification time on the file is not changed by gzip. Netbackup goes by inode and modification time.

Can Netbackup be instructed to backup files if they're renamed? What other options do I have?

I need a solution

Nothing more in the Activity Monitor's parent process detail log other than the next line which says "bphdb exit status = 6: the backup failed to back up the requested files".  Any idea where this path to the archive file might be located??

Failed parent process forced a rerun of the backup.  Currently have logging enabled.

This just started happening.  No NetBackup or AIX updates on the applicable LPAR have occurred for several months.

Thanks!

Snapshot client?

$

I need a solution

Hi, what is differences between 'snapshot client' backup and regular backup? In documentation there is written that snapshot client backup makes point-in-time presentation of drive and dont lock drive. So what? Any kind on backup, example standard or ms-windows also make point-in-time presentation and also dont lock drive. Microsoft integrated VSS never lock drive. And when I make regular standard backup with netbackup, then in client options I can choose to use VSS or symantec own open-file-provider. Also, with 'snapshot client backu' there is not possibility to save windows system-state. This is strange, because windows VSS always makes also system-state through VSS writers. And when I use Netbackup regular backup, then I can include system-state. But system-state can only made through VSS, so it is also made through snapshot. Where is the point of term "snapshot client"?

Media server 100% cpu usage in one job.

I need a solution

Hi, I have media server in VMWare Workstation 9 VM, guest OS is windows 2008 R2. For VM set 2 cpu and 4 GB memory. I use deduplication, indexing, disaster recovery info collection, trueimage info collection, acceleration and made system-state and drive C (about 20 GB used) backup from Netbackup master-server, located in other VM. The backup succeed without errors, but it took 15 h to complete and writing speed was about 500 KB/s. VMWare Workstation host system is Windows 2012 and virtual disk is in storage-spaces in mirror. Its too slow to accept. Now I plan to put media server into dedicated physical machine. I can choose to put it into 2008 server running in plain hardware or running in ESXi. Dont know, maybe ESXi also slows down backup speed. Only storage for deduplic ation I cant put into new server. I can use iSCSI - iSCSI server in present 2012 server and iSCSI client in new media-server. Maybe iSCSI also slows dows backup?

Hallo allemaal,

Ik stel bpimage-cleanup-allclients manually.With deze opdracht, ik moet ook draaien nbdelete-allvolumes-force?

Automatioc afbeelding cleanup job omvat zowel boven-opdrachten.

En in geval van tape, ik moet bpimage-cleanup-allclients en bpexpdate-deassignempty-force handmatig uitvoeren?

Ben ik juist?

 

Hi ALL,

I am running bpimage -cleanup -allclients manually.With this command,I have to also run nbdelete -allvolumes -force?(disk backup)

Automatioc image cleanup  job includes both above commands.

 

And in case of tape ,I have to run bpimage -cleanup -allclients and bpexpdate -deassignempty -force manually?(tape backup)

Am I correct?
