Design rule #2, no matter what I have to do, all backups must complete each night/day. That may sound like stating the obvious, but so many of my other design principles come from this assumption. I think your problem is being caused by trying to do everything in one night. (Design rule #1 is that tape drive must be streamed.) Have you ever considered spreading your fulls out across the month? Switch to a monthly full backup, weekly cumulative incremental backup, and daily incremental. That way, you only have to do a full backup of 1/28th of your environment, a weekly cumulative of 1/7th of your environment, and an incremental of the rest. This is kind of my standard schedule layout. The full backups are sort of spacing themselves out (my 2 primary file servers have a total of about 75 file system). However, your point is valid, I'll work on spreading the full policies out over the 4 weeks. As for design rule #2, I have some multi-terabyte file systems that take longer than 24 hours to back up. In fact, depending on what's happening with research, users can generate more than a terabyte in a day on some of them, which means incremental backups of those file systems can take more than 24 hours. cpreston wrote: (more drives on order ;) ) I'm willing to bet that you don't need all (if any) of those new drives to accomplish what you want to do. You just need to reconfigure your backups to properly use the ones you have. And, of course, there are companies that can do that for you... cough, cough Given that we're seeing explosive growth in data storage demands, I'll take all the drives I can get my hands on.

Often once you highlight it the highlight goes away when you get the prompt to OK the action. Due to this I've seen a couple of times where people here have killed all when they meant to kill one. The kill all should be all the way at the end of the list and separated by a bar so one has to consciously choose it.

Re: [Veritas-bu] symantec and VERITAS merger good or bad?
I didn't realize we had local sales reps anymore... Our extremely responsive former sales team was replaced by some Symantec guy who takes AT A MINIMUM 3-4 weeks to reply to an email. I'm NOT IMPRESSED! I'm not sure if he's overwhelmed or what. What I DO think, tho, is that Symantec has given up on Customer Retention (which was always something Veritas did well) in favor of getting any of the MERGED product line (Symantec or Veritas) into more and more companies and not giving a crap once it's been in and paid for... Does Symantec have a different licensing model than Veritas? The Veritas model has carried over (I think, for the most part) even after the merger; for Veritas products. Does Symantec not realize that Veritas licensing is NOT just an *at purchase time* license and is re-upp'ed at some point (or not, as the case may be) in the life of the product's use at our companies?

Hi Bob, We also have noticed. Support is the most notable difference for us. We try hard not to call any more, which may actually have been a strategic move on their part... I heard they 'let go' of quite a few support engineers. Anyway, the support system really feels like climbing up the ladder to get the backline folks involved. Escalation just takes forever and has become quite unacceptable. Their 2 hour call-back is a joke, in our current experience. Was great before. The system broke within months of the takeover, I note. Before the merger/takeover/buyout we touted how responsive they were. Now, as I say, we rarely call unless there is absolutely no other choice. It is a Symantec corporate culture issue, from what I understand. They did it with the Norton acquisition, too. Licensing and support of their products has also suffered. Completely unresponsive is the word I hear from our security folks in regards to their desktop firewall and antivirus software as well. I should also add that for at least 9 months responding to the support emails resulted in BOUNCED emails back to me. When reporting it to them they denied any issue, but looking at the header for the emails showed that there was a BIG mixup on their end in the translation of [EMAIL PROTECTED] into [EMAIL PROTECTED] Was this even ever resolved? It was so unprofessional seeing the bounces and hearing their repsonse that I just have nothing really nice to say anymore about them. Sorry for my rant. But, you hit a BIG button there for us. Wish it were otherwise Of course, others' milage may vary. And, this is my own $.02 and does not reflect the opinion of my own employer or mgmt here at LBNL. ;) Cheers! --Chris It's been some time since the merger and I was wondering how things may have changed for you either positive or negative. My experience has been negative. For instance. I work for the State of Michigan and have an extremely large environment. symantec pulled our VERITAS salesman and a very knowledgeable NetBackup support engineer and replaced them with a symantec side salesman and support engineer. While they are very symantec knowledgeable, neither one knew much about NetBackup. I think symantec does not know the complexities of the NetBackup product. It takes a long time for the end user to even know how to begin to understand the NetBackup environment. If there is a problem with your network or DNS, then NetBackup will quickly pointy out the problem. This is just 1 example. I think the support services has also degraded but I have no metrics to support my theory. How has your experience changed?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Aptare vs. NB 6.0 NOM reporting
The thing I really like about Aptare is it's *real time* capability. As soon as a backup ends, the information is pushed from the master server to the Aptare server. Nice! I found Bocada to be seriously wanting when being used in a large environment for this reason specifically b/c the lowest value (if I remember correctly) you can set their polling to was like an hour. Another thing I like about Aptare is that you can use it with Legato and TSM as well as NetBackup. I do not believe you can do that with any Veritas products except Command Central. Aptare has a restore feature that is really slick as well. We support TSM as well as NetBackup, so for us, it's nice for our operations/monitoring people to have the *single pane of glass*. I haven't played with NOM much. And I like it for what it is... an OPERATIONS tool. However, if you want to be able to do things like trending, etc. I would look at one of the reporting specific add-on tools not made by Veritas.

Is anyone using NOM and the reporting feature? Is it better than Aptare? Views? Opinions? From what I saw at Vision '05, NOM is still pretty early in development. I have not looked at it recently, so I can't really speak to strengths/weaknesses. You would like to think that the company that makes the backup software would also have a good front-end for reporting, but that has not been the case so far ;-) I did think it has promise, though. What it did have that Aptare likely will not is more interaction with what happens in the backup environments. It was originally intended to act as a portal interface that at a basic level could replace a lot of the operational functions of the current GUIs. That would be really cool if that pans out. I think in general, most reporting packages will do a better job than NOM because they are supposed to do a better job. Their main focus is reporting, so their reporting is really good. That's not just Aptare's product, either. I think Bocada falls into that same category. There are probably others, but those are the two that seem to be front-runners for NBU reporting. -- David Rock [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu - This e-mail may contain confidential or privileged information.

Otherwise when you FULL expires after 61 days, you just lost the ability to restore from the subsequent incrementals untill the next FULL.so assuming Weekly (every 7 days) FULLs with 60 day retention after 61 days, you can only restore back to 61-7 =54 days. If you're gaurateeing dailies for 60 days and you only do monthly FULLs, you need to keep your FULL for 90 days.and just in case that oldest FULL goes bad, it's nice to have an extra..so weekly fulls keep for minimum 2 weeks longer than incrementalsor if you only do monthly fulls, keep them for 2 months longer than the incrementals.

Windows - Very price effective - poor performance Sun SPARC - Extremely price prohibitive - Better than average performance Redhat Linux - Slightly more pricey (with 24x7 Support) than Windows - Best performance Now this was all Oracle 10g based, and involved Dell vs Sun Hardware (Sun never had a chance from a pricing perspective.) Windows and Redhat are both priced well, assuming you want support - but if I can generalize here - Redhat wins out if both price and performance are major concerns.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Symantec and Linux support
Oh wait, Scott? Who do you work for? :-P We are also going to be deploying NetBackup w/ SLES. Had a hiccup with the NBU 5 release we were running and wanting to use 64-bit architecture. Working back towards this as an option. RedHat got greedy and has a crappy licensing model and I think a lot of people are moving away from them as *the choice* for Enterprise Linux deployment (just what I've heard in mumbles and gripes). And if you look at the fact that SLES is supported on everything from 32-bit to 64-bit to Z-series mainframes (as a client, at least), I think they're being smart and spotting the direction of the industry away from RedHat. My gripe with Symantec as a WHOLE is a complete lack of interest/support/caring/notice for the fact that there are freaks out here deploying SLES on IBM Power platform. Symantec won't even consider this a *direction* of the industry, however, aside from Microsoft (**chuckle**) they are the ONLY Tier 1/Top 10 software manufacturer who isn't at least looking at this as viable... let alone that IBM and Oracle have most of their product stack ported to this platform... :-D Enjoy your day!

We've begun rolling out our annual patch cluster for Solaris (we're running 8 right now) and as soon as it was installed, we began to experience some very strange issues with NetBackup. Environment: Solaris 8 (patch cluster installed was 10/2005). We have also since patched the CE card and TCP to the latest available patch levels Sun F15k domain (4x8, single board) 4 IP addresses across 4 subnets on both the master/media and the media server NetBackup 5.0 MP6 for Solaris NetBackup 5.0 MP5 for NDMP Filers are: NetApp w/tape attached is Release 6.5.2R1P10 NetApp w/out tape are Release 6.4.5 Issues: 1. All NDMP backups with DAR enabled no longer work. However, if we set the HIST_FILE = N in the policy include configuration, it works fine. 3 NetApps, same problem with each one. 1 has tape attached thru the SAN and the others back up thru it. 2. 211, 213 and 195 errors happen nightly on clients. Backups running thru the master/media itself do not experience issues, however, backups running thru media servers or SAN media servers will get these errors. The backups will generally re-run successfully, if they run thru another media server. SAN Media server backups will fail completely. This doesn't happen on the same clients every night and some nights doesn't happen at all. 3. Backups get sent to the worklist but the PID dies so quickly that the job looks to be running (bpdbjobs) but the PID isn't active on the master anymore, nor is there any real activity within Netbackup (no tapes mounted, not writing going on, no database entries being created, etc.). The only way to get rid of these *active* jobs is to completely recycle Netbackup (bp.kill_all). Steps taken so far: We have disabled all but the PRIMARY interface on the Master and Media server and are no longer getting 211, 213 and 195 errors, however the NDMP/w DAR still do not work. We're going to start adding interfaces back in and see at what point it breaks again. If anyone has seen anything like this can you please let me know if you've resolved it?

RE: [Veritas-bu] Media Server Only - What Services Should Run?

From everything I've heard/read, the memory requirements are higher, but not sure about CPU. Since all of the Media Manager stuff is running on the Master and all the db info for the device and media side of things will be housed only on the master in a Sybase DB, the new req's are based on that.
