Re: ntbackup scripts

[Kurt Buff]

To follow up on this...

recode.exe was not recoding the entire log file, so I was getting only
a truncated version of it, which was very frustrating.

I have found that the newest version of blat (2.6.2, from
www.blat.net) deals nicely with the backup logs - no conversion
necessary. I'm in the middle of reworking the script to accomodate
this.

Re: ntbackup scripts

[Kurt Buff]

1) It's Symantec - I'm prejudiced, and it's probably irrational, but
there you have it.

2) If I want to get supported, I'll have to buy a copy after a
while,and upgrade - see point one, above, plust is will cost. That's
not going to be popular.

Indeed, why not BE?  Backup Exec 11d has a built in media rotation policy
for Grandfather, Father, Son that is customizable.

I've actually been happy with Backup Exec since Symantec bought out Veritas,
they haven't messed up the product, it's still a very good product.

  NTBACKUP is, in my experience, idiosyncratic and poorly-documented.
Reporting/logging is limited, and selective restores are somewhat
cumbersome.  All that said, one you know what works and what doesn't,
it is very servicable.  And, of course, you already paid for it, so it
doesn't cost extra.  It use it on some servers here at %DAYJOB%.

  The biggest limitation I find is that anything other than "unmanaged
media mode" (i.e., /UM switch) doesn't appear to work in any sane or
reliable fashion.  There's some kind of drain bamage involved which
I've never figured out.

  I've got a set of batch files that automate things reasonably well
for our purposes.  Notable features include hands-off operation, tape
name reporting and preservation, and the ability to email the log
file.  The design is basically put a tape in and it will run the
backup to it that night.  If that tape is ejected the next morning, it
worked.  Media rotation scheduling has to be handled manually, but I
use a basic daily/weekly/monthly scheme that makes that a no-brainer.
KISS.

  I attempted to attach the scripts to this message, but Gmail refuses
executable files.  I guess I should have seen that coming.  Anyone got
some place I can upload 'em to?

I've got a nice shiny new LTO3 drive and 21 tapes for the UK office.
It came with BE 11d, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.

I want to use ntbackup to set up a parent/child/grandchild rotation,
so that I can have them send tapes offsite - the capacity of the tape
is more than sufficient for a full backup each day, but I want to make
sure that I extend the functionality as long as possible, as I won't
be back for quite some time.

Anyone have any ntbackup scripts they'd care to share? We use Tivoli
in the US office, so I haven't had to touch ntbackup in 6 years, and
I've been frustrated by what I found on the web.
