[Veritas-bu] Error 85's
I have been getting random error 85's since adding AIX media servers. I have an i2000 with 16 LTO3 drives that are all shared between 5 Window media server and 4 AIX Media servers. The Master is 6.0 MP5 on Windows. All the tapes are shared from the scratch pool, meaning if a tape was written by a windows media server it goes right back into the scratch pool once its expired and can now be grabbed by an AIX server. Due to the randomness of the error 85's is there a chance that the AIX servers are writing to the tapes in a different header size or block size that is causing the servers to freak out? Veritas was unable to help with this problem (surprise).

Re: [Veritas-bu] retentions
There are certain environments here that require only a 2 week retention, no matter what. In this environment we run full backups everyday and when the data set is in the 80 TB range, well that just more then I need to deal with. We have been running this way for years with no major issues. Leave it up to Oracle to take 2 weeks 4 hours to try and fix RAC. From: Curtis Preston [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2007 9:10 PM To: Brandon Zermeno; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] retentions How about setting a longer retention period and _expiring_ backups if the conditions you're looking for have happened? As long as I'm at it, I think a two week retention period is crazy. You should always have AT LEAST three full cycles. (IOW, if you're doing a full backup every week, I think you should have at least a three week retention period.) My preference would be at least a month for database backups and 90 days for filesystem backups. As to what other products do... NetWorker won't expire a full backup if there are incremental backups based on it. In your case, they would/could have expired too and the oldest full might have expired. TSM doesn't expiration like this. It keeps versions, and does not think the way these products think unless you force it to. I therefore think that TSM wouldn't have done what NetWorker did. Did I mention that a two week retention period is too short? ;) --- W.

Re: [Veritas-bu] retentions
This is what I am looking for. We have had nothing but useless junk from Command Central and Advanced Reporter and I have no faith in the latest version Backup Reporting. Does Aptare manage to show you when the last backup was run successfully? In this case we overwrote the tape so importing was not an option. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darren Dunham Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2007 4:38 PM To: Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] retentions > As far as I know once images expire they are deleted from the Netbackup > catalog - as a result (and as you state) it is not possible to unexpire > images within the catalog via bpexpdate.

I think he's looking for something like the default behavior of EMC Networker, where the image's expiration is suspended if there haven't been any later successful backups. So not recover (via import) after the fact, but prevent the last backup from being expired at all. I can think of how using some scheduled scripts could get pretty close. Examine the catalog for the last full backup of all the machine/filesystem. If it's approaching expiration, push the expiration date back. As long as the script runs (successfully) at least once within the "pushback" period, it'll prevent the expiration. Finding the image corresponding to a particular filesystem isn't necessarily trivial though. And you really need to track by filesystem. If the machine has done recent successful full backups, but one filesystem failed each time, you'd like to delay that filesystem's expiration. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOShttp://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?

The problem: The physical labels on the tapes are Q1 -> Q10014. The PX510 sees the tapes correctly, such as Q1 (verified by the PX510 web admin console).

Anyhow - its all silly because most of my data is on a dedicated backend with 48GB/sec trunks or something similar but just to placate the network guys, is there a switch I can use to tell the Netbackup client not to backup faster than (say) 10240KB/sec?!

Re: [Veritas-bu] 6.0 advantages?
Title: Message It has been about a year since I ran 5.1 so I don’t quite remember how they ran but with 6 a failed backup, like a full monthly, will retry at your set frequency (in our case 12 hours) until it completes with a 0 or 1. Sometimes it will try and run the same job everyday for a week. We rarely have to manually rerun jobs now. But I do agree that 5 is more stable.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Email Archiving
I know your management and I am pretty sure that will work!!! We are also looking at Vault for our Exchange systems. We currently have over 4 TB of data in SG's and I don't even want to guess at how much in .PST files. This product will send all that data into another DB type location and will retrieve it for use when the end user clicks on the shortcut in Outlook. It is pretty slick. The best part would be in a DR situation. You could restore 100 GIG of storage much faster then 4 TB. This is more of a "Messaging Manager" type product and (s)he should be doing the eval on it.

[Veritas-bu] Global VSP setting
Is there a way to globally disable using VSP? I only know of the client attributes on the master server. Is there a touch file? I am running NBU 6mp1 on Windows.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Finally upgrading from 4.5 FP9 to 6!
I agree totally. The 4.5 client will work with a 6.0 master and media server. We are in the process of upgrading our clients from 4.5 fp6 to 6.0mp1 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Wilts Sent: Friday, March 10, 2006 1:31 PM To: Mike Day Cc: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Finally upgrading from 4.5 FP9 to 6!

No. In fact, the master server must be the highest version, the media servers must be next, and then the clients at the lowest version. Ideally, of course, all are at the same version... > 3.

Do the mater server first, then the media servers (if you have any), and then finally the clients as you get to them. A 4.5 client certainly works fine with a 5.x master. I expect that Veritas doesn't support a 4.5 client on a 6.0 master, but that doesn't mean it won't work. .../Ed -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
