Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup to VTL fast with first tape then slow thereafter
Try looking at the BPTM and BPDM logs (T for Tape, D for Disk). I don't know if a VTL will go to TM or DM...I would assume TM since NBU thinks it's a tape still. Sounds fishy since it changes drastically after the second 'tape' is mounted. Have you searched to see if there is a known issue?

I've noticed that when i start a job it jumps right up and the speed is 25MB - 40MB then after the "tape" fills and a second one is "loaded" the KB/Sec drops to 2MB - 4MB and the speed never raises for subsequent "tapes". However when I write directly to LTO5 the jobs average 40MB - 60MB. Using an EMC Clarion VTL. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Is there a log in NBU that would indicate these write speed fluctuations?

[Veritas-bu] DB2 partition restarts?
We've got some DB2 DBA's that are asking if anybody has worked out a way to do partition restarts should one partition fail on a DB2 DPF database. I'm thinking the best way would be to have their backup script be very smart but I'm not sure how to suggest making it smart. Anybody doing this? -M Mark Donaldson - Systems & Storage Administrator Staples - Broomfield, CO pager: 3034354...@cingularme.com (o) 303-664-2040 (c) 303-435-4766 ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

[Veritas-bu] Symantec Netbackup 7 Snapshot and Solaris 10 with SVM discs
correction: Hi, We were advised to used snapbackup to backup our mail server running on Solaris 10 with disc managed by SVM, mirrored and over 8 millions files split across different partitions. Backup policy configured as advised and policy type set to Flashbackup and checked 'perform snapshot backups' with snapshot method to 'auto'. Run backup and returned status 0 after 2 days for parent job and all child jobs. Over all backup looked success, however trying to do restore and see NO images on tapes for this policy and schedule types. Is snapbackup not compitable with volumes managed by svm?
