Does NetBackup 6.0 support an active/active cluster?
Thanks in Advance
Harry
Is there any significant problem associated with increasing the catalog backup time (ie, do we run into any problems if it takes longer to back up)?

How do you in stall
NBU CLIENT as a resource in an M$ cluster?
Title: Message
you
install the client on the two individual physical machines as if they were two
separate non-clustered clients.
then
you can run backups against any shared resource that flops between the two
physical nodes.

I'm fairly sure that a tape has to be pulled from the scratch pool
before it will be returned to the scratch pool. So if you added tapes
and added them to a pool other than scratch, they won't be moved to
Scratch once the are expired. They will just stay in the original pool.
I guess the best thing

Our catalogue is 248 GB. I upgraded on
Thursday. On Friday I noticed the elapsed time for the catalogue was over
9 hours. In looking through the Activity monitor, prior to the upgrade it
finished in just under 7 hours for roughly the same size
catalogue.

just in case, what if you re-configure the Catalogue again, using the Wizard,
use a different set of tapes and re-try. A

Yes it will, because you are forcing an expire of that tape - if the "auto"
way is left to Netbackup, it is essentially doing the same thing (ie: 1 tape
has a retention of 1 week and after this time, its put back into Scratch
ready for Netbackup to use).

I run two scripts to expire media. First I run the bpexpdate -m ##
-d o which does work sometimes. I found through trial and error that
this will not only reassign the media to scratch, but also wipes the
catalog of any information about that media. If that doesn't work, I

How
large is the catalogue backup when you view it in Activity
Monitor?
I use
5.1 and time wise, it depends on the size of the catalogue
mainly.
Are
you seeing any other slowness with the backups itself?

Hello Martin
Something to check.
In 5.1, goto the Policies and expand this.
Choose a policy , double click (if your windows) and goto the Schedules
Tab).
Double click on the schedule and there will be a section called "RETENTION"
- this should show what the retention is set for within this
By the way, you could use bpexpdate -m -d 0 if you want to force
netbackup to move the tapes into SCRATCH, assuming that has been configured
and the tapes have no images on there that are needed!

We've recently upgraded our environment to 5.1 MP 4,
and I've noticed that our catalog backup has slowed by over 30%. Has
anyone seen similar things with 5.1?

N00b question here I know, but what sets the media expiration date? I'm
taking over a Netbackup 5.1 environment and we seem to have a load of
issues with media never expiring / having to vmquery -deassignbyid to
get stuff to go back into the scratch pool. I'd say the GUI is useless

Are you thinking for me to modify a schedule on the fly or something?
Will this not affect all clients in the policy?
Ill read the man page see if anything jumps out :)

Hi
Hi, Is it possible to schedule a backup every 20 minutes
rather than a restriction of hours. The schedule only has hours, weeks and
month. We would like to use it every 20 minutes to backup new files in a
directory.
Is a command line backup scheduled by cron the way around
this?
