[Veritas-bu] What to do with our growing Catalog on the Master server??

2011-09-09 Thread DiskJockey 
We are leaning towards option 2 

@ken_zufall  Thanks!

What to do with our growing Catalog on the Master server?? 
I'd suggest using the bpcat* commands: 

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpcatarc 
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpcatlist 
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpcatres 
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpcatrm 

We were able to cut our catalog from ~450GB to ~250GB. 


I have opened a Symantec ticket to see if they can assistance/have any opinion 
regarding this option...would like to know the pros/cons for the catalog archive
 

@BlueJay - yeah you're right that's a no no putting my catalog on a filer

Now GRT backups and restores of Sharepoint to OST DataDomain work, but not
supported. I am doing them anyway, but also doing non GRT sharepoint
backups.

Just plain not supported.

SLP duplications for the GRT backups fail silently but file the SLP image
incomplete report up with every single GRT backup, duplication jobs never
run. Enterprise support I doubt will help since GRT backup to OST device
is not supported. It has been a while since I visited this though with
support.

[Veritas-bu] Exchange 2010 DAG Backups / Short vs. FULL FQDN hostname?

2011-09-09 Thread Justin Piszcz 
Hi,

I've had quite the fun time with this backup type.

When you backup or restore, depending on how you configure Exchange, it 
the client (node) backs up as, e.g., EXCHANGE-NODE-01, we got that fixed 
so the FQDN usually shows up as the EXCHANGE-NODE-01.domain.com, which is 
good, backups are working, but for restores, it kicks off a restore and it 
shows EXCHANGE-NODE-01, where I am we use FQDN for everything and we don't 
want to start hacking around and put one-offs into /etc/hosts file or add 
one-off's into DNS, has anyone figured out how to make Exchange 2010/DAG 
backup and restores ONLY use the FQDN hostnames?

Justin.

2011-09-09 Thread smpt 
Christophe,

You can upgrade the solaris installation and copy the class directory. Doing 
that you will move all policies easily.

 

Also there is a technote at Symantec site that describe the recovery without 
import method. You can use this method to move the images and the tapes from 
the solaris cluster to the standalone linux server. Both systems must have the 
same NBU version. 

 

http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content 
 
&id=TECH28722

 

 

If you follow this procedure, you can (must ) open a case to support and ask 
for catalog consistency repair.  The tapes will be marked as full and after 
expire you can reuse them.

Our plan is very close to your Option 2 .

[Veritas-bu] What to do with our growing Catalog on the Masterserver??

 








We have a midsize NBU environment consist of 1 master and 6 media servers. 
Windows 32bit NBU7.0.1 backing up around 60-70 TB per week. Good portion of the 
data coming from ndmp. Front-end connected to a VTL and backend to a 
SpectraThe master catalog has grown to about 450 GB. 

We are getting close to a hardware refresh on our master and media servers 
Here is what I was thinking...

Option 1: Just refresh the hardware building a 64bit Windows 2008 server and 
keeping everything the same.
 1B: instead of keeping the catalog on a local disk - possibly we can 
direct connect to one of our filers and dump the catalog there.

Option 2: Keeping the existing 32bit master and add a new 64bit Windows 2008 
Master (using a different name) restore only the policies and start to run jobs 
off the new master. Keeping the existing master for restore purposes. This way 
I can start a fresh catalog and keep it locally and will have plenty of space 
for growth.

Any solid advice is much appreciated, please include why you would choose one 
over the other and if you think any potential issues/difficulties with either 
option.

By all means if you had similar situation and you resolved it completely 
different using a different strategy, please do share as well.
I'm open to new ideas!

Any

[Veritas-bu] delay jobs from starting

2011-09-09 Thread . . 
Problem: A job occasionally runs more than 24 hours pushing the backup into
the next day's start window. Once the original job finishes, it appears to
wait a minute and then starts again because it's within it's new start
window. Is there a setting or way to force the job to delay starting until a
certain amount of time has elapsed since it finished last?

My challenge came up with a Exchange 2003 backup running into the next day.
The job finished, then the snapshot job finished. Exactly one minute after
the snapshot job finished, it tried to snap the Exchange box again. The
backups are now failing with a status 130 error, and the Exchange VSS Writer
shows "Retryable state." Our assumption is that VSS wasn't done with the
original backup, and Netbackup asked it to perform another snapshot, causing
it to go into a unstable state.

Thoughts or solutions?

Running Netbackup 7.1.0.1

Thanks!

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Exchange GRT Backups

We have no issues with GRT Sharepoint restores from OST (At least on 6.5.4 and 
7.0.1 with DataDomain OST). What doesn't work is SLP or duplication.  You will 
want to have non GRT backups as well if you want optimized offsite duplicates 
or tape copies.  I didn't bother with exchange GRT since if we have to back it 
up twice, we have insufficient maint window for exchange maintenance tasks.

Symantec, please give NBU GRT and SLP some interoperability, also while at it, 
fix the Synthetic Full and SLP interoperability.

We were advised that no deduplication appliance works with GRT restores so even 
if the backup appeared to work you wouldn't be able to restore owing to the

We didn't try the basic storage unit on DD or Quantum DXi - we moved to SAN 
storage presented to our master and made a storage unit for that.

We still had issues with GRT restores afterwards.   We had recently migrated to 
Exchange 2010 from Exchange 2003 and apparently there is a known issue at 
Symantec on converted data - they sent us a binary fix to resolve that issue.   
We never went back to try DD or DXi after that mainly because the Exchange 
admin was sick of dealing with it.

This was all in NBU 7.1.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Exchange GRT Backups

I'm trying to do a exchange 2010 GRT backup to a Data Domain appliance. We have 
data domain appliances that we backup to. Symantec is telling me that Open 
Storage (data domain) storage units are not supported with GRT. I tried backing 
up to a basic storage unit on the data domain and still can't get it working. 
Has anyone had any experience getting GRT working with Data Domain?

Thanks

Re: [Veritas-bu] What to do with our growing Catalog on the Master server??

2011-09-09 Thread ken_zufall 
I'd suggest using the bpcat* commands:

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpcatarc 
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpcatlist 
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpcatres 
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpcatrm

We were able to cut our catalog from ~450GB to ~250GB.

[Veritas-bu] What to do with our growing Catalog on the Master  server??






We have a midsize NBU environment consist of 1 master and 6 media servers. 
Windows 32bit NBU7.0.1 backing up around 60-70 TB per week. Good portion 
of the data coming from ndmp. Front-end connected to a VTL and backend to 
a SpectraThe master catalog has grown to about 450 GB. 

We are getting close to a hardware refresh on our master and media 
servers Here is what I was thinking...

Option 1: Just refresh the hardware building a 64bit Windows 2008 server 
and keeping everything the same.
  1B: instead of keeping the catalog on a local disk - possibly we 
can direct connect to one of our filers and dump the catalog there.

Option 2: Keeping the existing 32bit master and add a new 64bit Windows 
2008 Master (using a different name) restore only the policies and start 
to run jobs off the new master. Keeping the existing master for restore 
purposes. This way I can start a fresh catalog and keep it locally and 
will have plenty of space for growth.

Any solid advice is much appreciated, please include why you would choose 
one over the other and if you think any potential issues/difficulties with 
either option.

By all means if you had similar situation and you resolved it completely 
different using a different strategy, please do share as well.
I'm open to new ideas! 



thanks in advance!
