Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP backup question
If you are using an NDMP storage unit on the solaris host you must specify the drive path as hostname:/dev/rmt/Xcbn not just /dev/rmt/Xcbn as this is how NBU knows what is and what is not an NDMP dedicated drive (Im assuming u arent on NBU 6 which allows drives to be in both NDMP and standard storage units simultaneously) cheers Andy.

RE: [Veritas-bu] LTO 1 recovery using LTO 2 drive.
It's not really that hard and fast of a rule Netbackup doesn't know hcart from hcart2 or hcart3, but whatever type the drive is must match the configured type of the tape. If the tape is hcart3 and the drive is hcart2 (regardless of LTO gen) it's gonna complain. If you've replaced all of your LTO2 drives with LTO2 drives, then change the type of all of your old LTO1 tapes to match the type of the new LTO2 drives.the RFID chip in the tapes should identify the tape type to the drive with the tape is inserted, and the drive should read/write to the tape in the proper format based on how the tape ID's itself, not by the configured Netbackup media format. hcart1, 2, 3, etc, are just numeric designationscould be DLT, SDLT or LTO of any generation.

[Veritas-bu] Identifying vault duplication tapes
NB 5.1 MP3 W2K Master Media servers. I've got a couple clients that write their primary copy to disk. There are a couple different policies that do this. We've got an early am off-site requirement that precludes waiting until we run our am vault eject profiles to do the duplication. So, what we've done is create a policy that calls for/runs a vault profile that runs the duplication from disk to tape. It is scheduled to ensure it will run after the jobs that write to disk have completed. We will be keeping the tapes off site longer than the job history is maintained in the activity monitor. The issue I've identified is that since the policy does not write to the tape (it's the vault process that actually writes to tape), the recovery report does not show what tape was used for the policy/client. The duplication job will show the tape(s) used in the activity monitor until they roll off. I thought to narrow it down by using a unique volume pool for those jobs, but it still wouldn't identify what tape you needed for a specific policy client, and if we increase the number of policies/clients being backed up to disk in this manner, the unique pool method would be too much to sort through. My question is: How can we generate a report to be included with the off-site tapes to identify the tapes created by the duplication process as described above? Thanks, Kent C.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Backup vs Archive
If it was archived, ie the bparchive command, then the restore list
commands needa -A to search these images. Annoying, IMO.
If it as just backed-up with a long retention, a much more reasonable
definition of archive, then standard restore methods apply.
bpimagelist might be a good tool here. It doesn't care if they're bpbackup or
bparchive images.
Search the time frame for your server names:
bpimagelist -d start -e end | awk '$1==IMAGE {print $2}' | sort -u
That'll list all clients backed-up between the start end dates regardless if
there still active clients in the current setup.
Field 12 of the IMAGE record is the backup type. Value=3 is a bparchive (user
archive) image, the others are backup varieties.
