I've only done duplications via the command line (we script our
duplications), However, looking around in the Java GUI, when you get
to the "Setup Duplication Variables" screen and set the destination of
the copy, there's a checkbox near the bottom that says "Preserve
multiplexing".

Are you specifying -mpx on your bpduplicate? If you don't, the backups
will be "de-multiplexed" on the copies, which mean it will have to go
through the original tapes several times to pick out each backup image
individually. If you use -mpx, it'll grab all the backup images in one
pass and leave them multiplexed on the copies.

Windows is notoriously difficult to recover in it's entirety. Near as
I can tell, there are two options to effect a full recovery from just
backups:

a. Install the required version of Windows and all associated patches,
updates, and software, then restore the data from backups.

b. Use NetBackup's "Bare Metal Restore" functionality (which used to
be a separately-licensed product, but is now included). This requires
a bunch more infrastructure, but does work.

Someone check my math, but 100gb in 2 hours, 50gb/hour, 853mb/hour, or

Could you use a backup_exit_notify script to capture what you're
looking for? I have good luck getting job IDs that way doing:

JOBID=`bperror -client $1 -hoursago 1 \
| grep "POLICY $2" | grep "SCHED $3" | grep "EXIT STATUS $5" \
| tail -n1 | awk '{print $6}'`

which, essentially, gets the job ID of the last job that finished for
the client, policy, and schedule for the job that the script is
running for (I know, I could probably collapse all those grep's into
one - this is an olde piece of code).

I've been experimenting with this for the last week or so with
NetBackup 7.5.0.3, and, no, it does not duplicate the VMDKs on the
datastore. It does do a VMware snapshot of the virtual machines being
backed up, so you'll need space for those snapshots, with will depend
on how much data changing goes on during the backup.

For as much data as you're backing up, if you go this route, you may
want to consider having a dedicated physical media server with direct
SAN access to your datastore LUNs and backup storage (tape?). This
will allow NetBackup to do backups with only minimal involvement or
load on the VMware hosts.

One trick I've used is to telnet to the client on various NetBackup

For example:
telnet clientnode 13782


Or try starting various NetBackup binaries manually on the client and
see if any errors result.

Try using lsscsi (from the lsscsi package, if you need to install it)
and see that all your tape drives show up with the device names you

If they're there, you can use the mt utility (from mt-st) to see if

I always considered it a really bad idea to put my catalog, or even
catalog backup, on the same storage systems as the data that I'm
backing up (I'm not sure if that's the case you're describing). If
that array fails for any reason, you could lose both the data as well
as the catalog for that data, making a restore take considerably
longer.

My environment isn't nearly that size, but I keep my 23gb catalog on
local disks on my master and do catalog backups to an array at the

The backup_exit_notify script could probably do it. You'll need to use
the parameters passed to it (documented in the script) to determine if
the job that just finished is the one you're interested in (perhaps
using the supplied client, policy, and/or schedule) and take action
(e.g. bpbackup...) to initiate the next job.

We recently did a platform migration (Tru64 to Linux) and were

Why would you need to roll back your master server? A 6.5.6 master
should work just fine with a 6.5 client. Heck, I still have 5.1
clients being backed up by my 6.5.6 master/media servers.

The question to ask yourself when considering this is, where is the
data that you're backing up, and where is the catalog that you need in
order to restore it?

Personally, I don't want both items on the same array.

Dear All,

Many thanks for contributing your scripts for various reports. I am ver.
6.5.4 on Red hat. Sorry to say could not find the report where I can
extract the backup details by each mount point.

My Majority backups are being done by multiple data Streams and
Multiplexing.

Not sure if possible I can get the report as

Job ID # Policy Name # Client Name # Mount Point # Start Time # End Time #
Elapsed Time# #MB backup # Backup Status etc… we want to charge to other
departments by the total size of backup. Not you if you want to add some
more…..?
