[Veritas-bu] NBU Flashbackup Cache Parition
Hi Guys, Anyone of you has experience in flashbackup using solaris advanced client. Is the cache partition a mandatory requirement for Flashbackup? If it is, then anyone know the workaround?

Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU & Java GUI authentication on AIX
My humble opinion, FWIW... This lack of functionality you've experienced will only be the first of many if you move off of HP and onto AIX. I have nothing against AIX as an OS, but I do know that it's always been last in the development matrix at Veritas/Symantec. Solaris & Windows first, then HP shortly after (often at the same time), then AIX (a distance third that often doesn't catch up). Now if you want to replace NBU with TSM, then AIX would be a great server! (Not that I'm recommending that, mind you.) ;) Curtis Preston | VP Data Protection GlassHouse Technologies, Inc.

[Veritas-bu] Preventing Last week from taking priority in calendar scheduling
Hi All, I'm currently setting up a policy using Calendar scheduling in NBU 6.5.1, and I would like a particular job to run on every Friday of the month EXCEPT the 4th Friday. So I check off all the Fridays in the Calendar Schedule tab except for the 4th week. However, when I select "Last", it overrides my deselection of the 4th Friday for those months that only have 4 Fridays. But if I deselect both 4th and Last, then for those months that have a 5th Friday (e.g. August 2008) then that 5th Friday is missed. What I would like to happen is when I select all Fridays except for the 4th week, that the scheduling should be smart enough to understand I want that as an exception even when I have Last selected, and not select the 4th Friday in those months where there are only 4 (e.g. July 2008). Is this possible without having to setup exclude dates? I don't want to have to deal with the hassle of manually setting those up. Thanks, Eddy ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
Re: [Veritas-bu] drive/tape failure ?
Check the error codes on the robot if you can. Check how many times the tape has been mounted. Check the S.M.A.R.T. read and write errors on the tape drive. Check for errors in $NETBACKUP/db/error for that tape ID. Check how long the tape drive has gone without cleaning (tpclean -L) There are MANY things you can do..
