Hiya,
I was wondering if there's anyone out there who uses NBAC (Netbackup Access Control) with Netbackup and currently experiences a slow catalog backup with it enabled? Here's a little bit of info on the environment:
Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise x64
Netbackup 7.5.0.4
Before we enabled NBAC, a catalog backup was taking around 30 mins. This has increased to anything between 3-5 hours now. From looking at the catalog backup, it appears to have added a further job which looks to generate between 30-60 files in the /db/NBU_VSSDB_IMAGE/<POLICY NAME>/ folder. These files look to contain registry and security based settings. This is the only part of the backup that has increased in time (it takes around 5 minutes to generate each file). The time to backup the images folder etc is as expected.
An option to disable NBAC is unfortunately not an option, as the client requires this to be part of the environment so we can limit access to some users for certain roles. Would there be any particular logs that would be worth looking in to troubleshoot this? I'm struggling to find anything obvious at the moment.
I've logged this with support and i am trying to get help that way, but i was just putting it out to the community to see if anyone else has had the "pleasure" of using NBAC and had any ways to get over this issue.
Cheers,
Nick
