Re: [Veritas-bu] Backing up SQL Express
Morning John You do need a SQL License on the Master, and the Policy must be a SQL application policy for the backup. Failing this, you can configure SQL Server to do offline backups to a flatfile on a local or Network drive. Then NetBackup treats it as a single file and backs the file up normally. Just bear in mind that there are some limitations on backups and recovery with NBU and SQL Server Express, one of them being partial backups not being fully supported, due to limitations in SQL Express. However, I do believe its covered in the SQL Admin Guide. It can also be found here if it helps... ftp://exftpp.symantec.com/pub/support/products/NetBackup_Enterprise_Serv er/290212.pdf Simon From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of j.keat...@tachi-s.com Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 8:43 PM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Backing up SQL Express Hello All; After recieving operation not allowed during this time period(199) errors while trying to backup an SQL 2005 Express database.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Scalar i2000 FC question
I can only comment on the library *with* the IO blades as that is how we've always run it. So I really cannot say if the claims about the speed buffering to even out data rates to the drives stack up. Nor can I say if they are a bottleneck, though we are about to use 4 x LTO4 on each 4Gb blade, so maybe we'll find out ;-) What I can say they provide is excellent diagnostics and control. My understanding is that with direct connect drives you don't get the ability to reset and power cycle drives (could be wrong). With the blades we can reset fibre ports, restart blades and do a lot of poking around that you can't do with a drive. The drives are only having to run FC-AL within the cabinet, so it's very lo-tech for the drives, insulated from the SAN. I'm not sure how you manage partitions with no blades - how do you present the robot controller LUN? The physical library then uses the fibre port on the main controller card, not sure how multiple hosts would do that. With the blades we just present the robot control LUN for each partition down whatever fibre we like (with at least one of the partition's drives). I don't know how many people use HRS - we found that it cannot work with the Sun Leadville drivers, it required the native qla2300 drivers and that was not an option for us. I'm sure HRS requires the IO blades. A downside is that it can be rather mind-bending to configure them initially.

I have a Windows 2003 server with SP2 installed on a Dell 1850 PowerEdge server which has a C: partition with 136GB and an E: partition with 4.07TB. The server has 4GB of memory. The main application on this server is Veritas Netbackup 3.6 (with both Veritas 3.6 hot fixes installed) and it is installed on the C: partition with the netbackup data stored on the E: partition. The Netbackup application seems to hang daily with what looks like a catalog corruption. My catalog file is on the C: partition (44GB Free space) and its size is: NTP.DB 30,184,848KB It seems like either after the Catalog maintenance (scheduled at 8:30PM), the catalog corruption happens. I think it happens during the catalog maintenance , because I do not see the date on my catalog backup file increment (catalog backup scheduled 11:30PM nightly), so I do not think the backup can take place once the catalog file is corrupt.
