Its a master server and i don't have a separate media server. so it should have

Re: [Veritas-bu] Tapeless backup environments?

2007-09-23 Thread Martin, Jonathan
I think one of de-duplication's benefits is that even if 2% of your file data 
changes it doesn't have to replicate that entire 2%.  In my mind its similar to 
byte level replication (although an entirely different technology.)  Just 
because Netbackup backs up 20GB of different files doesn't mean that you've 
made 20GB of changes.  If that were the case I'd roll-over my file servers once 
a month.
 
I wonder after comparing the two technologies, if there is room for a mixed 
mode solution that could take advantage of both tape's and disk's benefits 
without creating a tough to swallow price tag.

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Tapeless backup environments?



Here's some simple math that may help (complements of ExaGrid's web site).

 

If you have 1TB of data with a 2% change rate, you'll need to back up 20GB of 
daily incrementals.  To replicate this to another site in 18 hours requires 
3Mbps of bandwidth.  If you have lots of bandwidth or not too much data, 
replication to an offsite location may make sense.  But to think that you can 
replicate your backups for 20TB of data to another state is going to make your 
network group squirm.  Iron Mountain looks pretty cheap comparing to offsite 
electronic replication.

 

We have 1 application by itself that adds 30GB of new data every day.  It's 
being replicated within the metro area over a 1Gbps pipe (real time, not via 
backups).  We sure couldn't replicate everything...

 

As the OLD saying goes, never understand the bandwidth of a station wagon full 
of tapes.

Yesterday our director said that he doesn't intend to ever upgrade existing STK 
L700 because eventually we'll go tapeless as that is what the industry is 
doing.   The idea being we'd have our disk backup devices here (e.g. Data 
Domain) and transfer to offsite storage to another disk device so as to 
eliminate the need for ever transporting tapes.

It made me wonder if anyone was actually doing the above already or was

Clem,

 

You have made a rather curious comment.  You don't have to delete the
tape to get the space returned.  (My experience is with the NetApp VTL.)
There are settings on the VTL that you can set to allow for how long you
keep a virtual tape in the shadow pool once it has been cloned to
physical tape. 

 

If you are not cloning to physical tape and are just keeping images on
virtual tape, then you would not be deleting the tapes, you would be
expiring images...just like Curtis said about the DSU.

 

That's one of the nice features of the NetApp VTL.  If you have the disk
space, as long as you have cloned to physical tape it will keep the
virtual tapes around until the VTL needs to free up space for newer
backups.  It does this for you automatically!

And you don't get the space back on a DSU until you expire the image.

So what?  I also argue that what Steve is asking for isn't necessary.

(I think he's MAKING it necessary by oversubscribing, but that's not the

VTL's fault.)

 

Oversubscription aside, once his tapes are expired, the space taken up

by those tapes is immediately available for reuse.  The next time the

tape gets written to, it will delete all pointers to the space taken up

by that tape.

 

As to the VTL vs disk debate, I still think you should bring in all disk

devices and let them duke it out before excluding an entire category of

them.  You're going to exclude a lot of really good products if you just

no VTLs.  

 

Remember that saying I don't want a VTL but I do want de-dupe means

that you're going to use NAS.  While that will meet a whole lot of needs

for a whole lot of people, there's also some really big backups that

need a lot more than you can push over IP.  For those backups, you're

going to want a block transfer protocol (i.e. SCSI), and for that,

you're currently going to be buying a VTL.  (Unless you're just going to

buy a non-deduped disk in which case I'd say you're REALLY wasting your

money.)

Hi Steve,

 

This is the downer on VTL's. You do not get your tape space back

automatically. It is for these reasons I recommend that one never go

VTL's. NetBackup 6.0 and 6.5 allow disk to disk backups; the images are

easily replicated to an offsite facility.

 

The time for all tape has come and gone. The de-duplication facility

in 6.5 makes life even easier. Why VTL's (which does SCSI emulation)

when you and use disk which is faster and has more protection?

We deployed a VTL last month, which has been working very nicely. This

is in a NetBackup 5.1 environment with the VTL attached to our Solaris

based master server as well as to our NAS server for local NDMP backups.

One thing I'd like to do is over-subscribe on the back-end storage, but

before I do that I'd like to automate the process of freeing up the disk

space used in the VTL when a NetBackup tape is expired. Just curious if

anyone has already written such a beast and would like to share with me

as a starting point.

 

If not, I suspect I'll use the following logic:

 

- Every day (at noon??), query the robots defined in the VTL and keep a

record of tapes that are allocated.

- When a tape goes from allocated to non-allocated from one day to the

next, use a command like the following to erase the tape's contents:

bplabel -erase -o -d dlt -m 

[Veritas-bu] Catalog sharing

2007-09-23 Thread scottcorp

I have several remote sites that contain their own master servers. I want to 
backup to a Data Domain at each site and replicate the backup data to a central 
site,  which also contains its own master server.  At this central site I have 
a need to offload some remote backups to tape for infinite retention.  

I know there are several ways to handle this, all requiring some manipulation.  
The most sensible option would be to replace the masters at each remote site 
with a media server talking to the central location - but I cant get the buy in 
to do that.  So, I am trying to figure out the easiest option.

Is there any type of catalog sharing in 6.0 or 6.5?  I am reviewing 
documentation but so far havent seen anything.

My only other options I am thinking are to backup as normal and replicate to 
central - then use the master at that site to import the backup images into its 
catalog and perform a bpduplicate.  Obviously this is cumbersome.

Does anyone have other ideas?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Script to label expired tapes in a VTL

2007-09-23 Thread Larry Mascarenhas
Clem,

I'm moving from Legato to Netbackup.

In the Legato world, relabelling the VTL volume resulted in the space 
being returned to the disk. This is true even for an expired tape. ie I 
needed to relabel it.

In Netbackup, I think it is significantly better. This is because an 
expired tape gets labelled and put into the Scratch pool automatically. 
This way the number of volumes to be managed is reduced significantly. 
With a wee bit of planning, I think it might be possible to eliminate 
the need for relabelling. I'm toying with various options. One of them 
is to do in-line copy for off-site. The primary copy with lesser 
retention time will stay in the VTL. The off-site physical volume will 
have the correct retention time.

Please let us know what you decide and how it is working out. It would 
certainly help the community as a whole bunch of us are working on the 
same issues.

No, 6.0 and 6.5 do not have anything like that, although it would be good.
I have not heard anyone in development mentioning this being a possibility
even in the 7.0 releasebut who knows.  The 7.0 release is supposed to be
the security focused release.  Here is a kind of an out-of-the-box idea.
I don't know if it would be feasible in this environment or not, certainly
not tested, and if you ever had to recover one of the infinite releases,
there would be some manipulation involved.  I also don't know how much data
you are looking at.  

This suggestion would require all of your data at your remote domains to be
backed up to disk.  Then, you could make each of your Master Servers a
PureDisk client and back up to a remote Pure Disk server attached to a
Master Server and use the integration in 6.0 to vault the data to tape.

[Veritas-bu] windows 2003 system state restore problem

2007-09-23 Thread Len Boyle
Hello, One of our groups came up with a new problem with a windows 2003 server.
They had a system that was corrupted and would not boot.

So they reinstalled windows
Did a system state and c drive restore.
They did this a few times working out that the system had to be on c:\WINNT 
instead of C:\WINDOWS and  that they had to do the restore with the client in a 
work group and not on the domain. So the client had been joined to the domain 
and then changed to a workgroup.

The restore of the C-drive and System State finished with a return code of zero?
But after the reboot,  the client was not on the domain, the SAM was not 
returned to the state that it was when the Netbackup full backup was preformed. 
Also the Registry did not seemed to be replaced as software that had been 
installed on the client did not show up.

It appears that Netbackup did his/her thing but windows did not with the reboot.

Has anyone else seen this?
Have a fix?
Know how to trace or track windows logs for this problem?

Thanks Len Boyle

   1) Only move the datafiles. They start by EMM or NBDB. There is a
   technote about moving the EMM database to another server.
  
   2) When you moved the datafiles you need to verify or ugrade it.
   create_nbdb will dot it for you. Originally it is intended to create
   an empty NBDB but I found you can use it to validate and upgrade.  In
   order to do so you need to start the rdbms without loading the
   database.
  
   Otherwise flat files can be copied over

Hey all,
   
Netbackup 5.1 MP4
I currently have a master server on hpux 11.11 and a media server on
  aix. I
want to move the master server to an itanium machine (hpux 11.23)
 and
upgrade to 6.5.
   
Problem is, I don't have enough time since fixing the
 inconsistencies of
  the
database with support takes a lot.
   
What I want to do is comission the new master server only as a
 media
server and start backup right away. Eventually I want to move the
  database
from the old master server to the new master server and make the new
  machine
the master.. Then decommision the old hpux server.
   
I'm planning to upgrade to 6.0MP4 sometime after I run the setup of
 new
machine as media server. Then when I move to new machine as master,
 I
  will
upgrade to 6.5.
   
Is all that do-able ?
   
Thanks,
