[Veritas-bu] confirm procedure for NDMP agent upgrade
I am upgrading a solaris server from 4.5 to 5.1. The server currently uses NDMP. The manual for ndmp does not mention the procedure for an upgrade install of the ndmp package. I intend to remove the ndmp package before I remove the netbackup packages (selecting Y to part of an upgrade). Then when netbackup 5.1 is installed I will install the 5.1 ndmp agent. Is removing the NMDP package prior to the upgrade the correct procedure?

[Veritas-bu] restore of a few MB is reporting many GB and taking a long time
I am looking at a data recovery issue where the restore of a few files of a few Mb’s has taken 1.5 hours and the Netbackup job has reported the restore as 87Gb. This problem has come up before on an exchange restore but when we tried to replicate the problem the restore worked fine. We have netbackup 6.0 mp2 on server and client. Has anyone seen or aware of this being a known bug? ** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

What happens if I enable the option of “single instance backup for message attachments” under exchange field of client properties. I am currently using mailbox backups but they take a long time. What will be different in a mailbox backup if I enable this option? How will backup time and restore time of mailboxes be effected. Single Instance Storage is used by our exchange server.

[Veritas-bu] determine backup ID with File List
If I use bpimagelist to retrieve a list of backup IDs associated with a client backup how can I determine which job (file system) is associated with which backupID. For example if I want to duplicate the E:\ drive but my client has a C D and E I am unable to determine which of the three backupIDs from the previous nights backup is the E: drive. Even when using the GUI to duplicate I can see the three backup IDs but no indication as to which is the E drive. My temporary work around is to start a restore of a file on the e drive and find out the backup ID from the recover job details. This is not ideal for many duplication jobs. Any tips??

[Veritas-bu] override media server VERSUS bpimage -newserver
I would like to change the media server that I recover from in a veritas 5.1 MP4 Windows 2003 environment. I have managed to successfully do this by using the command bpimage –newserver nbumedia –oldserver nbumaster. What exactly is the command doing when it is run? Is it accessing every image in the database. At present it takes about 45 seconds to complete. Can I expect this time to increase as my catalog size increases? Unfortunatley I have not been able to successfully use the bpimage command to change the media server for just one backup ID (using the –backupid syntax). The sysntax is accepted correctly but the bpimage appears to have made the changes for all images rather than the backupid that I specified. Finally, Is anybody successfully using the hosts properties option of ‘override media server. When I use this option and restart the services there is no change in the media server used to restore data. Thanks for any help with these queries.

[Veritas-bu] moving client from one policy causes a full backup!!
Hi, I have backed up a client at level full last Friday and I have run successful differential-incremental backups on Monday and Tuesday. Yesterday I moved this client to another policy and de-activated its previous policy. Last night the backup ran at level differential-incremental but the client is doing a full backup (250GB). The other clients have done a diff-inc as expected. I am aware that backing up a client for the first time will force a full backup. I am not aware that moving a client to another policy would force a full backup. I also experienced this last week with the same client by moving it to another policy. Is this how the product should function? We are using veritas netbackup 5.1 MP4 on Win2003 with win2003 clients.

[Veritas-bu] Shared Drrives and use of media
Hi, I have two shared tape devices that are used by one media server and three san media servers. Each time I run a backup with one month retention each media server wants to use a separate tape so I require that four tapes be in my library. The backups are going to the same pool although different media servers. As it is a san environment the media is not segregated, it is all in the same library. If I have a san environment must each piece of media by allocated to a san media server and is then not usable by another media server. I prefer if all four of my media servers use the same tape. If I have to put in a tape for each media server then my library will fill up. Any suggestions, Thanks.

[Veritas-bu] RE: How to troubleshoot a Firewall Client Backup with Clustered Netbackup Server
I got some great information from responses on this list to my firewall issue. I was able to use all the troubleshooting tips to suggest that the problem lied with the firewall. I could telent from the client to the media server but I could NOT telnet from the media server to the client. This has now been resolved but I have not yet had a successful backup. The client is now creating logs for bpcd and the error message is Reserved Port Mismatch. Any ideas what Reserved Port Mismatch could be? Am I still looking at a firewall issue?
