[Veritas-bu] UNIX RAW PARTITION RESTORE QUESTION....
Title: UNIX RAW PARTITION RESTORE QUESTION All.. My original e-mail got stepped on by someone replying with another question in it, so I changed my subject and will ask my question again, here goes.. Our environment is HP-UX 11.11, Netbackup 5.1 MP3 backing up mostly HP unix with some Sun and Windows backups. I am doing a raw backup on one of the Sun servers and need to test the restore. I can’t find any info on the steps for a raw restore, searched Symantics site and got lost, looked in the archives for this mailing list and came up with nothing. Looked in the System Administrator’s Guide and found very little. Can anyone point me to any Unix raw partition restore examples? My backup policy consists of 87 /dev/rdsk/c**t**d* entries. Can the restore be done via the gui? I know there is a “Raw Partition Backups” under the Restore Type pull down. But I’m not sure what to do after that. I looked at the “bprestore” command and do not see anything referring to a raw restore. Any help or direction will be appreciated, thanks in advance.

DSSU manages the space automatically ...although you will see df -k output as 100% full - I would not worry about it . if you delete the files /images you may not be able to restore the data . if you really need to remove the images then use bpexpire command .

They seem to have dissapeared from 2 of the media managers also. running netbackup 5.0 mp4 with Sun L700 library 5 LTO2 drives, 3 of which are shared SSO option to 2 other media servers. All connected via a san switch ( what type i dont know as its in a remote site and i didnt install it ). I know the drives are zoned somehow and the wwn's for devices are in /kernel/drv/sd.conf. Everything was working fine and now some devices cant be seen when running cfgadm -al it says failing.. Storedgetek have been out to check drives and say they are fine , yet every day my script notes 2 going down and brings them backup. It was just one of the shared drives now it has moved to 2 so all my ITC fails for the media servers.

RE: [Veritas-bu] DLT drives going down
Check that the /dev/rmt/* entries match the devices in the robot. You can see if they do by inserting a tape into the drive and then issuing a mt -f /dev/rmt/* status for the /dev/rmt/ number you have the drive configured to. It should show a device is present, if not then you have a configuration issue. --On Wednesday, January 04, 2006 9:04 AM -0600 "Barber, Layne (Contractor)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: tapes stay in the drives and must be manually ejected.

[Veritas-bu] Raw Partition Restore
Title: Raw Partition Restore Our environment is HP-UX 11.11, Netbackup 5.1 MP3 backing up mostly HP unix with some Sun and Windows backups. I am doing a raw backup on one of the Sun servers and need to test the restore. I can’t find any info on the steps for a raw restore, searched Symantics site and got lost, looked in the archives for this mailing list and came up with nothing. Looked in the System Administrator’s Guide and found very little. Can anyone point me to any Unix raw partition restore examples? My backup policy consists of 87 /dev/rdsk/c**t**d* entries. Can the restore be done via the gui? I know there is a “Raw Partition Backups” under the Restore Type pull down. But I’m not sure what to do after that. I looked at the “bprestore” command and do not see anything referring to a raw restore. Any help or direction will be appreciated, thanks in advance.

For nonmultipexed tape, blocksize 256k: /usr/openv/netbackup/tar -itvf -b 512 For multipexed tape, blocksize 256k: /usr/openv/netbackup/tar -iMtvf -b 512 If remember correctly /usr/openv/netbackup/tar ++help gives a list of options Regards Michael On Tue, 03 Jan 2006 11:13:37 -0500, Andrew Armstrong wrote > I am in the process of putting together a disaster recovery plan in case our primary server goes down. This server is a stand-alone NBU server, backing up only itself, etc. I have no problems using NBU to do the recovery (bare metal restore, etc.), but those above me also require a vendor- independent recovery plan, in case there are "problems" using NBU to recover the data. I have experimented with using the NBU version of tar, and have successfully restored files from the tape. My only question is this: is it possible to make tar continue to the next backup set on the tape automatically? Currently, I am only able to restore small pieces of the system at a time (looks like 2000k or so). I am familiar with the option to span multi-volume archives, but I would like to see if there is an option to (for lack of a better way to put it) start at a certain point on the tape and restore everything from that point on, without prompts for user intervention. (The requirements for the DR plan dictate that a user with little or no admin experience should be able to do the recovery... this is NOT my requirement, but one put on me by those above) > > Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated! > > > > Andrew Armstrong > Network Engineer > CNE CCNA MCP VCP > T & S Brass and Bronze Works > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > (864) 834-6785 > > -- Cybercity Webhosting (http://www.cybercity.dk) ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

Sandy Have you tried using a different tape to backup the DB? How large is it? Is there any logging enabled to see at what point the backup of the DB Fails? Also, is it stored on a disk with sufficient space? What is the retention periods? You could use bpexpdate to force them out of Netbackup, and assuming the tapes are ok, you would need to Import ALL of the tapes in 2 phases (from experience I can say it's a real nightmare to do and takes approx 5 hours PER tape!)

I know it's an old instance and before I go down the road of modifying the database backups (I have narrowed it down to the fact that the databases are too large / cannot span tape) I want to check with you folk. Is there any way to determine the specific failure point on the database backup? Can I remove some older tapes from the database and be able to import them again? If I can reimport, are there any gotchas I should be aware of? Thank you Sandy Elrick Calgary, Alberta The information contained in this e-mail message is PRIVATE.
