[Veritas-bu] RE: Can't kill an Active job..
Hi Aaron. To remove the active job form the job monitor, you will want to do the following: 1) Shutdown Netbackup 2) Move the /usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs/bpjobd.act.db file to bpjobd.act.db.date (directory listing shown below). DO NOT move the bpjobd.db file. 3) Restart Netbackup. The bpjobd.act.db will rebuild itself. The above steps were for Unix, but the equivalent can be performed in Windows. Hope this helps.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Veritas and iSCSI luns on a Netapp
Hope you are aware that if you use NDMP, you are backing up the entrie LUN as a single file. So you will not be able to do single file restores, unless you restore the entire 500GB LUN to a different location and then use iscsi to mount it... so you have to have another 500GB of space on the Netapp available for restores (for single file restores). Using NBU client would be the better option for you, but if you have a 2nd filer, like a nearline R200, you can snapvault the LUN to it and use that for single file restores.

[Veritas-bu] NDMP and splitting streams, is this possible?
All, Here is a little background for this question, we have a couple of NETAPP filers that host a significant amount of data, I perform 3-way NDMP backups on the filers currently, and there is no direct attached drive. There were some files that need to be restored that were on tape, but were not in the snapshots. I had to restore one (1) folder and two (2) small files, this took 20 hours, I understand that it has to go through the images 2 times, once to restore the folder and once to restore the files. As thinking if I could split up the streams the images would be split up and would reduce the restore time. If I am out in left field please let me know, suggestions would be much appreciated.
