[Veritas-bu] Frozen tape characteristics?

2007-02-16 Thread Justin Piszcz
Quick frozen tape question, I need to re-visit the docs. When a tape is frozen, no more backups can be written to it. When a tape is frozen and it is part of a restore, what happens? It says the media is unavailable or does it try to do the restore? Justin.

[Veritas-bu] Storage Group Ordering Question

Under 5.1MP4, If I change the ordering of a Storage Unit GROUP, I have to bp.kill_all and re-launch NetBackup. I was wondering is there a bpadm reload command to make these changes take effect or must I always bounce NetBackup? Justin. ___

[Veritas-bu] RAW partition restore to alternate location

Typically we make tapes SUSPENDED rather than FROZEN when we want to reserve them for a restore (e.g. avoid vaulting using them for duplication or other backups using them). I was under the impression you couldn't restore from a FROZEN tape. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[Veritas-bu] Windows Backups Restored to Linux Boxes

Enviroment: NBU 6.0 MP4 on Windows 2K3 machine We have a fairly large VMware shop in house for all of Windows boxes. To back up these VM images, we end up taking tarballs of the VMDK files, and dropping them to a Windows boxe with several large attached luns. This works flawlessly... But, we

Re: [Veritas-bu] Frozen tape characteristics?

2007-02-16 Thread Whelan, Patrick
Point of clarification. The only differences between FROZEN and SUSPENDED: 1) Suspending has to be done manually 2) When all the images on a SUSPENDED tape have expired the tape will be re-used. Otherwise they are treated the same in that NetBackup will read from the tape if a restore needs it.

I have a minor problem with a set of bpstart and bpend notify scripts and jobs that are requeued. A quick background on my scripts: the bpstart script creates a snap-shot of a volume, and then using Volume Manager mounts that snap-shot volume to a Media server to back it up. After the bpstart

Frozen tapes can still be read. For example, my Frozen tapes are still selected by Vault for copying. The read of data off the Frozen tape is a restore of sorts. Frozen is like Suspended (NetBackup will no longer write to it), except that it's sticky when the images on the tape expire.
