RE: [Veritas-bu] Bpmedia -movedb problem
The bpmedia -movedb moves a part of netbackup database. You can't change a master server with this. If you use 4.5 or 5.x just copy the /volmgr/database/ directory and /netbackup/db/media/mediadb Then reconfigure the library and the tape drive and your tapes are now moved to the new server. You have to move the db/image dir and other files to complete the move of the master server stefanos -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 13, 2006 4:01 PM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Bpmedia -movedb problem Hello All I'm moving a master/media server to a new machine.

[Veritas-bu] RE: How to backup open files using VSP
V.T., Using VSP or VSS will only partially solve your problem. For instance, never expect VSP to make a proper backup of any database, regardless if it is SQL, Exchange or Access. For database backups there are two options: (1) shut down the application using a bpstart_notify script and make a backup of the flat files. (2) Install the corresponding extension and make 'hot' backups of the database. For system files and open documents VSP does not always succeed. In order to make a snapshot, VSP waits for a quiescent moment. If this moment soes not come, the snapshot is not created, and the file is skipped. Notorious examples of this are system files like perfmon counters. Since you probably don't need the majority of these files, you might as well exclude them from backup. The best thing is to configure VSP and then make a problems report after every backup session. For each of the open files mentioned, decide whether you really need the file and then take the appropriate action.

[Veritas-bu] interesting behaviour with NDMP and NFS backups
Title: Message Discovered something in the lab that I found interesting... if I back upa NAS via NDMP (level 0), then do a FULL backup of the same unix style QTree, via NFS, a few hours later. subsequent level 1 NDMP backups backup *almost* the entire QTree. It seems as if the NFS backup tweaks each file enough that the Level 1 NDMP dump sees it asnew/modified. Not really interesting I suppose, in that it's pretty obvious that NBU is touching files (try doing an NFS backup of a RO FS.). Just something I noticed and thought I'd throw out there for anyone who happens to be doing both (for whatever reason) and theought there would be no interdependancy. Paul
[Veritas-bu] Question on upgrading NetBackup
When upgrading NetBackup, you have three main components:1) Master2) Media3) ClientWhat is the recommended way to upgrade these three components?Master - Media - Client?I believe in the 6.0 documentation it says the media servers should be up to the 6.0 revision first before upgrading the master server.However, I am in the midst of a 4.5x - 5.1x upgrade, any comments?Justin.
RE: [Veritas-bu] Question on upgrading NetBackup
Title: Message Justin, We did our 4.5 to 5.1 upgrade quite a while back. No issues, no problems. Just as the note says, master, media client. Unix and w2k clients you can do at your leisure, w2k3 needs to go to mp4 most rikkitik ora DRfullrestore will blow the sysstate and you will have an inoperable machine.

[Veritas-bu] DLO information

Re: [Veritas-bu] DLO information
NetBackup DLO is a standalone application that essentially moves data from the desktop / laptop to another storage location. There aren't any ties into NetBackup at all so you don't have to install server to use DLO. Backup Exec DLO is an actual module that plugs into Backup Exec Server. Functionally they are the same. Not sure how detailed you wanted an answer on useability but it does work. Configuration can be automated at the client level so that specific attributes are applied when the client first connects to the server. Costs are around $20-25 per client. --- Cornely, David [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, Has anyone deployed and is anyone using the Desktop Laptop Option under Netbackup?

I tested it and it has some features I like and some I do not I like: Small SQL DB overhead Backs up to file shares Backs up files as they change Caches on the desktop/laptop if requested Network throttling Easily deployed to users Support was very responsive I don't like: No single instance store Concerned about scaling in large environments No migration path from the old NBUPro product it is Replacing. No good active directory integration at the time I tested it.
