Re: [Veritas-bu] SLP ??
I saw that, but is is to me a crude hack. Plus I loose the ability to easily report and check compliance for systems. It doesn't help with tape backups either. My typical SLP is: Backup to DD Dupe to Tape Dupe to Alternate site DD or for systems primary backed up to alternate site: Backup to Alternate site DD Dupe to Main site DD Dupe to Tape Keeping track of multi-synths making sure they all completed and duplicating the appropriate copy to tape is very easy to manage and maintain with SLP. What would be cool is if you could use the multi-synth capability in an SLP like: Backup to DD Dupe to Tape Multi-synth backup to Alternate site DD from local images - with Opt-Synth if storage supports it. or for systems primary backed up to alternate site: Backup to Alternate site DD Multi-synth backup to Main site DD from local images - with Opt-Synth if storage supports it.

They will look like it works but none of the duplications run. Can you say dataloss? SLP policies cannot be used for GRT backups (EG: Sharepoint backups maded with GRT turned on).

Re: [Veritas-bu] Problem recovering data from set of 32 tapes
Is this during the phase I or phase II import? Have you even tried phase II imports? You have to complete phase I imports of media, then phase II imports of the images on those media before you can restore anything. Up your logging to verbose on the master and check the bptm and bpdbm logs. I cant recall which log, but I think there is a bptar or similar for restore operations from tape. If you can't get this to work, I've got a document (posted to this forum previously) on how to use Linux and tar to extract images from a media manually. -Jonathan From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu on behalf of denverbo...@uku.co.uk Sent: Sun 1/9/2011 2:45 AM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Problem recovering data from set of 32 tapes I bought a 2d hand Dell 132-T LTO3 robotic library for the express purpose of archiving my tremendous collection of data.

Trouble is, I moved the whole sheband 2x during that time (home renovation) lost the catalog somehow along the way and now cannot restore anything to the new 2Tb drives I just installed in the server. I followed all the suggestions found on the many forums and identified 2 faults with the barcoding that weren't there before. Tapes BC 00203 and 00211 were appearing as 0203L2 and 0211L2 and wouldn't inventory or import. The had also somehow migrated to the NBpool... As they were assigned, I couldn't just move them so deassigned and then moved them to the correct pool (LTO2), then made 2 BC that reflected their Media ID and after 4-5hrs of fooling around I finally got them to inventory, updated the VM and now they show up in the Media List, but they still will not import. The err I get is: Error bptm(pid=452) ERR - Cannot add client black_beauty_2, policy 320Gb_Unknown and schedule Full to image database for import, error = a protocol error has occurred, skipping. Black_Beauty_2 is the NB master and Media Server 320Gb_Unknown is one of many external, temporary USB Drives I copied over to tape - the policy still exists but is deactivated (one time shot) I was saving a copy of the Catalog on the D: drive under 'BP_Backup' and it is still there - or at least some files are but any attempt to access or read it results in errors that no importable records were found in the specified location.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Restoring a Oracle backup from production to DRnetbackup
1) Copy ...\NetBackup\db\images\client from master to dr-master. (Alternately restore catalog or import media) 2) Put media in DR library and inventory. (If using copy method above, move media into non-scratch volume pool.) 3) Change bp.conf on dr client to match source client name (if restore client has alternate name.) 4) Create No.Restrictions touch file. 5) Run RMAN restore script. If your DR environment is in a different timezone, you have to account for that when creating the RMAN script, i.e. if your source client is in New York and a backup occurred at 9:00PM, and your restore client is in L.A., then you need to configure the RMAN script to restore to 6:00PM.

Thanks for the reply Jonathan, I get these errors during the import media action when 'Catalog' is selected from the left side window of the GUI tree and Initiate Import is selected from the topmost 'Action' pull down. It chugs away, reading and importing data one tape after another and finishes with the several errors I related earlier.. then when I select 'Import' from the Rt side window, setting 'From' date back to 1/1/2008, choosing All media and hit start it says INF - Found no images matching the selection criteria that were ready for phase 2 import. I have no idea why, and it's always copy 1 fragment 1 that either fails to load or already exists. If I click the 'Results' tab I see a list of ~30 jpbimport operations most saying that the 'initiation of Bpdm process to phase 1 import was successful', and others (4-5) saying that it wasn't successful either due to protocol error, or because no importable Netbackup images were found in import path or they already existed. How can I 'forcibly' delete the corrupt catalog -assuming it is corrupt, and rebuild a brand new one... or can I? Do the policies have to be active for import to work? They're all there, just 'dead' as most were one-offs (plug in the HDD, create a ploicy for the newly added drive(s) (F; - Z:) back up the data from the new drive(s), unplug the HD, disable policy) and do another one. Do the policies even have to be there?? I'm beginning to feel as thoug a total rebuild of the server is in order - and poss. upgrade to 6x or 7.

Well; it took 3 months, but I finally was able to buy a 132T-shell from an outfit in Tx, pull the picker off it, and get mine 132T working again. Trouble is, I moved the whole sheband 2x during that time (home renovation) lost the catalog somehow along the way and now cannot restore anything to the new 2Tb drives I just installed in the server. I followed all the suggestions found on the many forums and identified 2 faults with the barcoding that weren't there before. Tapes BC 00203 and 00211 were appearing as 0203L2 and 0211L2 and wouldn't inventory or import. The had also somehow migrated to the NBpool... As they were assigned, I couldn't just move them so deassigned and then moved them to the correct pool (LTO2), then made 2 BC that reflected their Media ID and after 4-5hrs of fooling around I finally got them to inventory, updated the VM and now they show up in the Media List, but they still will not import. The err I get is: Error bptm(pid=452) ERR - Cannot add client black_beauty_2, policy 320Gb_Unknown and schedule Full to image database for

[Veritas-bu] setup special account for backup ????????
we have several Redhat LINUX servers with BACKEXEC or Netbackup client in it. everytime our Backup administrator setup backup always ask us to provide root password for them to setup backup. Does there has way we don't need provide root password and Backup administrator still can setup backup? My ideal are: 1. create a account with special group assign? 2. use sudo???

Re: [Veritas-bu] setup special account for backup ????????
For NetBackup, get a copy of the Linux client install and put it on yourself. Once you have a working client, the NetBackup administrators can push the updates to make it match the master. -- Jim VandeVegt | Technical Integrator, ETG Physicians Mutual | 2600 Dodge Street | Omaha, NE 68131 402.930.2649 | PhysiciansMutual.comhttp://www.physiciansmutual.com/ | jim.vandev...@physiciansmutual.commailto:jim.vandev...@physiciansmutual.com Insurance for all of us.™ health | life | retirement From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of men duffy [mcc...@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2011 12:33 To: aaa aaa Subject: [Veritas-bu] setup special account for backup we have several Redhat LINUX servers with BACKEXEC or Netbackup client in it. everytime our Backup administrator setup backup always ask us to provide root password for them to setup backup.

Re: [Veritas-bu] setup special account for backup ????????
There are several thoughts. If you can upgrade to 7.1 it will have linux install packages as a method of installing the client. If you have an account on the linux client that can write to /tmp you can use the install method using sftp to write a directory in /tmp with all the install scripts and the netbackup objects that are needed for the install. After the bits are left in /tmp you can use sudo to shell the install script in /tmp and it should install the netbackup bits.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Restoring a Oracle backup from production to DR netbackup
You can have more than one bp.conf files on the client. You can have one in the normal location of /usr/openv/netbackup/ for the std unix install. Or you can have one in the home directory of the Oracle userid used for the Oracle instance. Therefore you can have different bp.conf files for different Oracle instances. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of ibby Sent: Sunday, January 09, 2011 11:24 PM To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: [Veritas-bu] Restoring a Oracle backup from production to DR netbackup Thanks Michael for the info , I will try this today and give you a feed back , I presume that bp.conf is located on the oracle server ( I mean the client ).
