Re: [Veritas-bu] Activity Monitor
Mike I think this is what you are after Run \bin\admincmd\bpgetconfig on the master server and look for KEEP_JOBS_SUCCESSFUL_HOURS and KEEP_JOBS_HOURS. It will be there and it's a long list :-) If it is set to three days, this is what you see. KEEP_JOBS_SUCCESSFUL_HOURS = 72 KEEP_JOBS_HOURS = 72 If you want to set it to, say five days. Do the following. echo KEEP_JOBS_SUCCESSFUL_HOURS = 120 | bpsetconfig echo KEEP_JOBS_HOURS = 120 | bpsetconfig and run bpgetconfig and check the ouput again.

Re: [Veritas-bu] 6.0 MP3 available
I went from MP1, over MP2 to MP3. MP2 was better then MP1 and MP3 is better then MP2. I had so BIG problems with loops in NBJM that had no other options just to apply MP3 into production the same second it came ready for download. I still have problems with MP3, but compared to MP2 that is now childs play. My installation is fairly small having around 100 clients and and a daily backup of around 2-3 TB and 99% Windows (anything fra NT4 to 2003 and SQL server 6.5 and forward and God knows what else) My best advice is for you to go directly from MP1 to MP3 as soon as you can, especially if you have serious problems at MP1. Main reasons for me to go to NBU 6.0 was support for SPS 2003, and the reason to go to MP2 was to get support for Windows 2003 X64 Server since I already had both in production. /johnny -Original Message- From: Jorgensen, Bill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10. juli 2006 20:19 To: Ed Wilts; Ian; veritas-mail-list; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Dhotre, Shekhar; Johnny Oestergaard; Jeff Lightner Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] 6.0 MP3 available Ed: Just a question.

I am experiencing media position errors on a new master/media server using 6.0 MP3. I opened up a support call with symantec and they referred to an internal symantec technote on a known problem. The hardware is Sun branded Emulex SG-XPCI2FC-EM2 on an 890 platform running Solaris 10. They told me to contact Sun for a replacement card. Has anyone experienced this and what did you do to correct it? Is there a new driver available or does there need to be hardware replacement?

[Veritas-bu] Windows 2003 Recovery Procedure - RFC
Hello: My recovery procedure is as follows for a restoration of a wintel box. Please RFC. I do not use Bare Metal product, ghost, Acronis or any other layer: 1. provide similar hardware including array controller 2. rebuild fresh OS -- without service packs! 3. during setup create a local account called Recover and assign password (in case OS goes goofy). 4. do not join to any domain - yet. Standalone workgroup mode 5. ensure TCP and DNS connectivity to the Netbackup host 6. install Netbackup client - latest should suffice. 7. reboot. 8. do a test restore of a single file from the master server. This validates NBU operations, network, etc. 9. Fire in the hole: restore system state, all file systems as necessary. Overwrite active files option should be chosen. Exclude from restore the following files for optimization if files exist on the initial load a. C:\Cmdcons (if exist) b. C:\documents and settings\administrator c. C:\boot.bak d C:\boot.ini e. Cmldr f. Config.sys g. Dossa_setup.log h. Sossa_unisntall i. iO.sys j. msdos.sys k. System volume information from any partition l. C:\program files\common\veritas\netbackup.dll; grasbt.dll; sigcomp2io.dll m. c:\windows\system32\drivers\vsp.sys n. Pagefile.sys (if on backup image) o. C:\program files\veritas\netbackup 10. reboot. 11. test. 12. apply any service patches, fixes as necessary. I've been fairly successful with this method. Please comment and critique.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Windows OS restore
That blows Greg. Both in initial Netbackup acceptance tests, as well as most subsequent tests and recoveries, we've had no problems with the documented procedures. I've recovered everything from Citrix Metaframe servers (alternate system drive, M rather than C), DCs, clusters, the works. Only thing I haven't done is a full ground up cluster + Exchange. the only thing I haven't been able to restore easily is MS-ADAM (Advance Directory Application Mode?) which resides in a part of the system state that isn't captured by the system state backup with the Version of Windows and Netbackup we were running on the client, so we had to do scheduled NT-Backups of the ADAM directory. took a while to work out the procedure, but it looks like we've got it sussed. in some cases we've had to use the "\VERITAS\Netbackup\bin\w2koption -restore -same_hardware 1" option, but it's be rare enough that we don't usually bother on the first restore attempt. and in the case of cluster restores where the disk set is lost, we have to use the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\VERITAS\NetBackup\CurrentVersion\Config\Clu ster_Database_Force_Restore" reg key to restore quorum, but that is documented in the HA guide.. One problem we encountered early in our acceptance testing was when the base image we installed as a restore target had more applications than the system that we'd backed up ans were trying to restore. See, the restore process will overwrite any existing file with what's on tape, but will not delete files off the system if there is no "equivalent" file on tape..so if an app was installed on the system, then you restore over that system, overwriting some, but not all files, there could be files remaining on the system that now conflict with what was restored to it...hard to explain.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Windows OS restore
The fix for us was to install a fresh copy of the Os and ap0plications. We then restored the application data. Never an easy process. We were on support line for 6 hours doing this with Symantec support and everything they had us do would never allow the server to be restored in full and have it boot with all the apps in tack etc. After wasting so much time we installed a fresh copy of the server build by image and reinstalled the apps. Took about 2 hours and the server was back up. It was not a happy experience.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Best Practices
Keith Other than the planning secions on implementing NetBackup and configuring it, I do not know of anything myself. What I have learned is the following (and all of this assumes on your environment or money) Buy a large Tape Library using the latest LTO technology where possible. All client LAN Backups to be configured for maximum throughput (GB if at all possible!) Clients with LARGE DATA volumes that requires quick backups can be implemented as SAN MEDIA SERVER(S). Use SSO to share a Tape Library with the SAN MEDIA Servers(s). If Windows, turn off any I/O Disk software or AV. Ensure Multiplexing and streaming is configured best for your setup.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Windows OS restore
Title: Message Shyam It should be covered in the disaster recovery document But as long as you have a bare OS and the NetBackup client is installed and the client has been configured as before, you should be able to perform a FULL RESTORE from a last known backup tape. The Restore can be carried out on the client, or the MASTER SERVER that usually performs the backup for this client. Come back to the list if we can assist Regards Simon Weaver3rd Line Technical SupportWindows Domain Administrator EADS Astrium Limited, B32AA IM (DCS)Anchorage Road, Portsmouth, PO3 5PU Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message-From: Shyam Hazari [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 July 2006 13:17To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.eduSubject: [Veritas-bu] Windows OS restore One of our Windows system crashed during patch install.
