[Veritas-bu] Is GNU tar --dereference option available?
Hi, So, we want to actually back up any data that is contained in symbolic linked material on one set of systems. If I were to use GNU tar I would specify the '--dereference' option. Anyone know whether this is supported, or will be, in NBU? TIA! --Chris ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
[Veritas-bu] EC6 - The backup failed to backup the requested files
When running an Oracle backup that calls a script, the backups sometimes fail with this error code. What does it really mean happened? I am guessing that the script said backup /x/file, but it's not there. Is that correct? Thanks, Rusty Major, MCSE, BCFP Data Assurance Engineer (281) 584-4693 VeriCenter, Inc.

[Veritas-bu] Using rsync for the NetBackup catalog...
Someone had posted about this and I deleted the email before I replied. I just wanted to follow up to what other folks had said. Basically, it works well. The only advice that I would have is to create a snapshot of the filesystem and then run the rsync using the read-only copy as the source. That way, the filesystem is self-consistent and you will prevent the errors about missing files, etc. With Solaris, look at the fsnap command. With Linux, utilize the snapshot feature of LVM. Other OSes have similar functionality. You will achive better and more consistent results with the snapshots than without. Good luck! -- Michael L.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Can a 4.5FP_6 media server backup a 5.1 client?
There is a problem, sometimes you may not able to restore files properly. I had backups running for 4.5 master with 5.1 Media server. When i had restore there was a problem it could restore somefiles although there was no issues in the tape I couldn't restore the files. Veritas support simple told they won't this configuration. I then duplicated the tapes using nompx option and got it restored.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Can a 4.5FP_6 media server backup a 5.1 client?
1 version higher on Master and Media servers than the Clients is acceptable in most cases, not the other way around. Clients should never be a higher version than the Master or media servers.
