Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU v6.0 SSO with NDMP?
Dan, I believe you are using what's called "remote ndmp" (at least I think that's what it's called). The config you describe is definitely a limitation in pre-6.0. If you upgrade to 6.0 and assuming you can actually get your NDMP Filer and your Master server to see the tape drive (SAN connection or even shared SCSI), you would then be able to make use of SSO with NDMP.

RE: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 5.x or NetBackup 6.x
Title: Message Ok so I am biased here! I would go with 6.0, the changes are significant enough there is no need to go through all of the 5.x issues, and get used to how to manage that environment only to upgrade in a year or so to 6.x and learn all its new features. Start with 6.0 and learn it from the start and you won’t be as confused later. Also, I must say for a .0 release that 6.0 appears to be stable.

RE: [Veritas-bu] error code 134
The 134 error can be reduced if not eliminated by ensuring the shared memory of the NBU server is set properly. Also, you may notice 134 when there is no storage unit readily available, meaning in use by another backup/restore job when the backup starts; however, this should go away when the resource becomes available. I have noticed that the if the job opens without a resource available and then the start window closes before the resource becomes available you will get the 134 error instead of the expected 196.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup 5.x or Netbackup 6.x
Title: Message It's a simple question. Never install a x.0 unless you look forward to many sleepless nights wondering if all is well. Or spending hours on the phone with tech support trying to convince them that you are the first one to discover a new bug! If you enjoy spending time with your kids on during the weekends go for the stable platform. If you want to spend more time with your kids (driving them to school, picking them up after school, taking them to play dates) because you are now unemployed after losing you firms data... go for the latest and greatest untested platform. So how much time do you want to spend with your kids?

[Veritas-bu] RMAN + netbackup + windows
Ok... We're trying to get an Oracle agent going on a windows system. It manages to connect to the backup server, a channel is allocated tape mounted and positioned, but no data is delivered. It is recognizing the netbackup server and the server is accepting it, so it's not a communication problem. Going RMAN to disk on the server works fine so it's not that RMAN is incapable of sending data to a backup piece. Any ideas on what might be the problem?

[Veritas-bu] exchange restore from command line
Title: Message When you do a restore of an SG from the GUI, you get the screen where you can select whether to mount, commit, etc, after the restore, as well as a box to specify "temporary location for log and patch files" as you might know, there's a file placed in this directory when you do the "full" restore that must exist in order to be able to apply an incremental at a later time. then when you do the incremental later, you have to spec the same dir as you specified for the full. So, looking at the man page, for bprestore, and the "commands for unix" manual, I can't find an option to specify this target temp directory on the command line. I can do a full restore from the command line (without a mount and commit) but if I later want to apply an incremental on top of that full (from the GUI) I don't know where to point the restore WRT this temp dir. If you're wondering why i need to do this.. After the FULL backups finish on the weekend, I do a full restore of the exchange backup to a second server (from command line, fired off by a cron job).with NO mount or commit.this restore is then staged and if a restore is needed at a later date, the exchange admins can force a mount/commit of this full, OR I can apply an incremental on top of the full, and mount and commit that. problem is, without knowing/specifying where the CLI restore put the temp log/patch files, I can't apply the incremental.

[Veritas-bu] Custom Reporting in NB?
My question is rather simple. Is it possible to filter the generated e-mail backup reports so that only abnormal incidents are mailed? When people get used to seeing a dozen reports each morning, they tend to stop paying attention to exceptions. We're currently running NB V5.1, and our V6 kit arrived yesterday. Thanks!

RE: [Veritas-bu] What criteria is used to determine a incremental ??
It uses mtime by default: from the SAG for v5.1 pp 152-153: When NetBackup reads the data for a file that is included in a backup, it does not affect the file modification time, but does affect the access time of the file. For this reason, NetBackup saves the atime and mtime of the file prior to reading the file, and (by default) resets the atime and mtime using the utime(2) system call. By doing it this way, NetBackup does not cause problems for storage migration products or administrator scripts that are utilizing file access times (atime) as criteria for their operations. While this benefit is obvious, a side effect is that it does update the ctime of the file. As an option to a NetBackup configuration, customers can choose to have NetBackup not reset the access time of the file after it reads a file. Additionally, customers can choose to have NetBackup use the ctime of the file, in addition to the mtime, when determining what files to back up in an incremental. Normally, these two options are used together, but there may be sites which want to use one without the other. By default, NetBackup uses only the mtime of the file to determine what files and directories to back up. When a file is moved from one location to another, the ctime of the file changes, but the mtime remains unchanged. If NetBackup is only using the file modification time (mtime) to determine files due to be backed up during an incremental backup, it will not detect these moved files. For sites where this is an issue, the ctime should also be used (if possible) to determine files due to be included in an incremental backup, using the bp.conf attributes USE_CTIME_FOR_INCREMENTALS and DO_NOT_RESET_FILE_ACCESS_TIME. When a directory is moved from one location to another, the ctime of the directory changes, but the mtime remains unchanged. Neither the mtime nor the ctime are changed for the files or directories within the moved directory. Using file timestamps, there is no reliable method for determining that files within a moved directory need to be included in an incremental backup. In either case, these moved files and directories are included in subsequent full backups. -Original Message- From: Donaldson, Mark - Broomfield, CO Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 9:44 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; Donaldson, Mark - Broomfield, CO Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] What criteria is used to determine a incremental ??

Re: [Veritas-bu] Capturing bpmedialist's command output ?
depending on what you're doing, you may just want the output of
"bpmedialist -summary".
If you're getting your list of media from vmquery - maybe do it by
pool instead of just listing all media - you won't have an expiration
date on scratch tapes etc.
Also -- I believe you're looking at capturing stderr, not stdout. You
can have stderr go into stdout if you do:
command 2>&1
If you just want to capture stderr to a file or get rid of it:
command 2> file
(file is often /dev/null)
There's also probably a better method than calling bemedialist in your
inner loop, like capturing to a file without the -m $MEDIA_ID and
processing that for each media you want.

Re: Antw: [Veritas-bu] Multiplexing / Streaming
I think you may have misunderstood multiplexing and streaming. Multiplexing as far as i understand it means you can write multiple jobs from a schedule to the same storage unit assuming mpx values are set correctly per drive etc. Multi streaming is creating a separate job for different volumes on an individual server within that policy. You then need to have the correct amount of jobs per client set and allow multiple data streams on the policy. This can be used for eg to backup / and /opt/openv if they are on separate disks. There can be issues with disk thrashing if you have new streams on unix servers from the same disk. I think you only really need deal with multiplexing here.
