I disagree
In my setup with windows clients and specifying a directory for the file list,
the directory and newly added files do not get removed by the archive job.
Only the files that existed at the time the archive started get removed.

Can you quantify this a bit? I agree in principle, now I need to sell

Sounds like you might be getting there, but it's not getting back. Make sure
your firewall to the DMZ is open both ways for the NetBackup ports. Try using

I think it depends on your file list. If you specify a folder, it will remove
the folder (i.e. d:\archivefolder). If you specify specific files, it will

I agree. Though it would be more expensive (for licenses), I also
recommend a Master at each site. If you do the remote method, you will
eventually lose the link to the Master and you won't be having much fun.

Sounds like your volume groups may not be consistent. Vault relies on them to
know where tapes are and which ones it's supposed to eject.
Another thing that it could be is if you are doing deferred ejects and
consolidated reports.
You need a separate Vault setup for each different type of med

First, you cannot run NetBackup servers in a Zone. The UNIX admin here already
tried that and the install script even said it wasn't supported.

A media server in a non-global zone is not supported. I think that'
I've always written scripts to do this for me. I pull information like total

You can also use the "tpclean -l" command to collect mount times for each tape

If you want a 100% fool proof verification, restore the data to /dev/null.
Even then, who knows what might happen to that tape the very next day...
That's why multiple copies are so important, or retention periods that overlap

I've dealt with HIPPA, FDA, and other legal issues (despite what some people
seem to think, SOX has no say in this matter). Usually the retention is 7
years; though if it's a law-suite, and you haven't destroyed the tapes, the

Shoot, I'd rather use TAR and DD rather than Omniback.

What little experience I've had with Omniback tells me that it's not as fully
featured as NetBackup, but that it works really well for remote sites (one of
the reason's NetBackup came up with Pure Disk - to better compete in that area).
I'd suggest reading up as much as you can on Omniback, so
I've see this issue come up before: ""Our Backup environment doesnt work very

I believe this technote is saying that one of the media servers is having
issues resolving its own hostname, or the master can't resolve the media
server hostname. Though if that was the issue, you'd be having more issues
than just bpexdate failures.
Have you decommed any media servers lately?
You should only need to use SSH for new installs. Upgrades should be able to
use the NetBackup client it'self to push the updates across.
Here's some of my notes:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/install_client_files ssh NEWHOST
NOTE: you must first have ssh keys for "root" in place first for th
