Re: [Veritas-bu] Veritas-bu Digest, Vol 73, Issue 18

[Jimenez, Daniel]

When it comes to overlapping schedules, set both schedules to run at the same 
time and the schedule with the longest retention will be the only one that 
runs. You can create a test policy and test this for yourself. So the yearly 
schedule should have a longer retention, than the monthly or weekly so the 
others will not run. Hope this helps.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Need Information on Limiting the bandwidth via SLP

Hi,

I need one information on the SLP but befre that let me explain my setup.

I've one Master server and under that there are 6 Media Servers. - Total 7 
servers

Server Names: Server 1 to Server 6 (All Media Servers)

Server 1 Media server is taking backup of all the clients in the dedupe pool 
and I've configured SLP and duplication jobs are running on Server 2 & it is 
happening over WAN to the dedupe pool which is configured on all the media 
servers.

I want to limit my bandwidth which is used at the time of duplication.

For e.g. I've 100Mbps of link I want to limit the duplication jobs to use only 
30 Mbps and at any cost duplication jobs should not exceed this limit.

Can anyone please assist me on the same.

If the scenario is not very clear please let me know what further information 
is required.

Sunday of the month. What you can do is write a script which will run every
monday morning and which will check backups for that particular client
which ran in last 24 hours. If it doesn't find the yearly schedule it will

Re: [Veritas-bu] Backup Selection on Windows 2008 MasterServerfor Unix Servers.

[Lightner, Jeff]

Your exclude list should be in the NetBackup installation directory (typically 
/usr/openv/netbackup on UNIX/Linux) and named for the policy you're using.

exclude_list.   e.g. if your policy were called something like 
SOLARISOS you'd name the exclude exclude_list.SOLARISOS.

It is a simple text file.

To exclude the files you got errors on you could do:

/etc/sysevent/sysevent_door
/etc/sysevent/devfsadm_event_channel/1
/etc/sysevent/devfsadm_event_channel/reg_door
/etc/sysevent/syseventconfd_event_channel/reg_door
/home/*
/net
/platform/sun4v/lib/libc_psr.so.1
/platform/sun4v/lib/sparcv9/libc_psr.so.1
/proc
/system/contract
/system/object
/tmp/.X11-unix/X0

Notes on above:
If everything in /etc/sysevent was a Door file you could just exclude 
/etc/sysevent rather than the 4 individual files.

Excluding /home/* says to exclude everything under the directory but to backup 
the directory name itself.  That way on a restore it would make the mount point 
for you.

/net, /proc are sufficient (as opposed to /net/* and /proc/*) because these 
filesystems are pseudo filesystems created at boot so don't need to be restored 
like /home to be mountpoints.

I'm not sure what the 3 filesystem types (lofs, objfs and ctfs) are.  It 
appears NetBackup doesn't understand those filesystem types but you might want 
to research them to be sure you know what they are and whether they have 
anything that would be lost in a system crash.  Excluding them makes sense as 
NetBackup apparently won't back them up but you need to understand their use 
and importance for possible future system recovery.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Alert! Backups might not be triggering!!!!

[NBUAdmin]

I schedule my longer retention backups for the same time slot.  In that case, 
the scheduler will always pick the schedule that hasn't run recently, it won't 
run both.  For that yearly retention schedule I set it up to perform Multiple 
Copies, and then have 1 copy - the Primary - with my normal monthly backup 
retention, and the other one for my yearly backup with the required retention 
on that one.  I have found the inline copy does not take any longer than the 
normal backup.
 
Hope this helps.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Backup Selection on Windows 2008 Master Server for Unix Servers.

[Lightner, Jeff]

Door files on Solaris, socket files on any flavor of UNIX/Linux, /proc and 
others are special files that can’t be backed up and don’t need to be as they 
are created on the fly on the system on which they exist.   To prevent your 
backup with exiting with a status 1 (which means generally successful) you 
could add the files complained about to your exclude list.

The autofs stuff is for NFS mounts.   In addition to cross mount points you’d 
have to enable crossing NFS boundaries.  Note that this generally is NOT 
necessary or desirable because the files are typically backed up on the system 
that exported the NFS share.   On the Solaris host if you do “df /home” it 
should show you which system the share was exported from and you should be able 
to verify whether that system is being backed up separately.
You do NOT want to backup /net as it is shortcut to all visible shares whether 
they are used on the system or not so you might end up backing up data from 
multiple other systems that a) is being backed up on those systems already and 
b) is not actually necessary for the running of the system you’re currently 
backing up.  Here again I’d suggest adding /net at least to your exclude and 
/home if it is in fact being backed up from the system that exports it to this 
one.

Dear All,

We have setting up a Master/Media server running on Windows 2008 (64 bit) 
server. Where I am trying to do a backup of Sun Solaris clients.

In the Standard Backup Policy. In the Policy attributes I am using “cross mount

system

But during the backup, I am not able to cover the whole root file system and it

Re: [Veritas-bu] Alert! Backups might not be triggering!!!!

[Nic Solomons]

To get around this (multiple calendar backups are weighted the same in the 
nbpem scheduler) I have set all of my less frequent backups to trigger 10 
minutes earlier.
For example:
normal daily backup is 10pm-2am (frequency based 8 hours)
monthly backup 10pm-2am (calendar, last day of the month)
yearly 9:50pm-2am (calendar, last day of the year)

this works well for me.

Cheers,
Nic

Re: [Veritas-bu] Alert! Backups might not be triggering!!!!

[Peter Mosopa]

Hi,

If you don't get any luck to get a script, please make use of the "Exclude 
Dates" which works like a wonder, I've got exactly the same schedules whereby 
at the end of March I'm running a yearly backup instead of a monthly. The 
monthly schedule is excluded at the end of March and the yearly one kicks in.

Regards

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Alert! Backups might not be triggering

Environment - Netbackup 6.5.5 running on sun Solaris using Calender based 
scheduling

Last day of December we had a situation, where we had both monthly and yearly 
backup scheduled to be run on the same day , and while the monthly backup was 
running , the yearly backup ran out of the backup window and so the yearly 
backup never got triggered .

When a audit was ran , we discovered that the yearly backup never ran -- So 
now,I was hoping that one of you Netbackup Guru's might help me with some kind 
of alert/monitoring script that will notify us when a particular scheduled 
backup which was suppose to be ran on a particular day doesn't run ?

Thanks in Advance!!!
