[Veritas-bu] NBU upgrade from 6.5.3 to 6.5.5.
We are in the middle of upgrading our NBU backup environment from version 6.5.3 to 6.5.5. The master and media server upgrades were fine. We are having issues with more than a handful of Windows clients. The clients used to finish without issue, they are now all ending in error code 1 with the following: 2/24/2010 6:37:52 PM - begin writing 2/24/2010 6:44:16 PM - Warning bpbrm(pid=2064) from client xxx-: WRN - can't open object: Shadow Copy Components:\System Service\Windows Management Instrumentation\WMI (BEDS 0xE0009421: No component files present on the snapshot.) 2/24/2010 6:44:18 PM - Warning bpbrm(pid=2064) from client xxx-: WRN - can't open object: Shadow Copy Components:\System Service\Event Logs\Event Logs (BEDS 0xE0009421: No component files present on the snapshot.) 2/24/2010 7:33:57 PM - end writing; write time: 00:56:05 the requested operation was partially successful(1) They are all failing with the exact same missing Shadow Copy Components files.

[Veritas-bu] vault duplication issue
Has anyone seen an issue with a vault profile where for every image to be duplicated a new tape is loaded? We have multiple vault policies set up and they write all images in each batch to the same tape until the tape is full, then it loads a new tape. We created a new profile the same way as the others. This new profile appears to be changing tapes for each image in each batch job. Has anyone seen this before? It is a media server duping images off of a data domain appliance writing to an IBM 3494 library/3592 tape drive.

Yes, but the problem with the full backup is it truncates the logs, and we do not want that to happen. SO form what you're saying, there is no way to accomplish this?

Running the client as LocalSystem will not work. (The documentation's a bit hazy on this point. It's clear that that's necessary for individual mailbox backups, it's not so clear that it's required for the cluster backups, but it makes sense when you think about it: the Exchange cluster isn't logically attached to either node, so neither node's LocalSystem has sufficient permissions.) -- gabriel rosenkoetter Radian Group Inc, Unix/Linux/VMware Sysadmin / Backup Recovery gabriel.rosenkoetter at radian.biz, 215 231 1556 From: Scheef Jr, Ed E.

We're just now setting up a Netbackup Policy for Exchange 2007 running in a CCR cluster. The backup has been defined to backup the passive node first, but if not available, backup the active node. The question I have is client definition in the Snapshot policy (within Exchange Policy) required to backup the Exchange database: When we put both physical CCR cluster node names in the policy's client list, it starts backups for both nodes, and looks like it does snapshots for both nodes, when only the passive node should be snapshotting, and getting backed up. Why is that happening ?? Anybody have a passive node Exchange backup set up and working ??? An obvious solution would be to take the active node server out of the policy's client list, but then if a failover occurred , and the passive node switched to what is now the active node, would the passive node backup still work without that physical server in the policy's client list ?? The Netbackup documentation update for 6.5.2 is not too clear on this !!

[Veritas-bu] master vs. media servers behind firewalls.
This is a question about a Netbackup 6.5 deployment. We are currently using separate master servers for our internal clients and our external clients in both of our primary datacenters. This equates to four separate backup environments to manage. We would like to have one master for all of our environments. We are thinking about one master server in our primary location, a media server in the secondary location and media servers for the two external environments. We would open ports to allow the external media servers to communicate through the firewall to our internal master server, giving us a single view for all backups. However, when reading the documentation, Symantec recommends having a separate master per firewall domain and using NOM to manage all of them. We do not want to pay for three additional master server licenses and a NOM license. Is anyone already doing this, or have any opinions as to why I would not do it?
