[Veritas-bu] Stream Performance
Hi all, I think some you faced that problem before. When we start a NBU job it negotiates the data stream speed. Depending on the server load that negotiation could result in a low profile connection. When the server load decrease we use to SUSPEND the backup job and RESUME so Netbackup will renegotiate the data stream again, as a result we get a data stream ten times faster than the first one. My question is if there is a way to make Netbackup speed up the streams by itself. Any of you guys has any ideas?

A vault job ran and mounted a tape which took enough I/O errors to be frozen. I could see in bptm where it was frozen. The vault job runs thru an alternate media server, not the server that owns the tape. I displayed the tape with bpmedialist and found it not to be frozen the next morning. None of the admins will admit to unfreezing it. I've never seen NBU freeze a tape and then unfreeze it. Is this because the server that attempted to freeze it is not the media server that owns the tape?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Restoring backups which have alerady expired
Wessan, I friend of mine just gave the clue. What you need to do is to go the CATALOG (NBU 5.1) and on the top you will find a combo, there select IMPORT (ACTION/you might have verify and duplicate as well). Give details in order to find you tapes/bkups images. As soon as you find the images, click 1st over initiate import by right clicking, after all the processes done, go over these images again and right click over IMPORT. Whenthese processes aredone, you must find the restores again in the catalog. My Direct email is [EMAIL PROTECTED], fell free to email directly.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Multiplexing combined with multistreaming
Hi Brenda, do you have OPEN FILE License on your server? Did u check about SECURITY on the DRIVE E? Be sure to have the user SYSTEM with full access in there. regards Marcos DeLima Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2006 13:35:07 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Multiplexing combined with multistreamingBrenda R.

Here's the scenario: I have Netbackup 5.1 MP5 installed on a Solaris 10 Sunfire 12 K server, which have Storedge L180 tape library attached to it using FC. 6 LTO-2 tape drives reside in L180. I have approximately 20 clients. The issue is with a Windows 2003 server that has 2 disk drives C and E. I have no problem with C:\, the problem is with E:\. E:\ has about 20 shares and is about 500 gig in size. It seems as if I have trial and error every possibility. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Networking / client issue?
Hi Dan, Did u check for the host performance? Heavy processes may cause "STOP RESPONDING" or 54 Error. Open the event viewer and check if you see some Volume Shadow Copy or MS Volume Shadow Copy. Ensure these services to be in MANUAL and STOPPED.

I have been having an issue with one of my clients backing up getting a 54 Error. I tried some basic network troubleshooting, like checking the duplex, which was fine and also made sure that port 13782 is listening on the client. All of that seemed fine, and if I am on the client, I noticed that I can telnet client 13782 which works fine. Going to the master server and telnet client 13782 gives the following # telnet client-host 13782 Trying 10.10.x.x... Connected to client-host. Escape character is '^]'. gethostbyaddr: Error 0 Connection to client-host closed by foreign host. Suggestions on what else to try?

Re: [Veritas-bu] license question re NDMP backup
Hello, I´m new in the block. Regarding your problem I do have the same scenario as you. The trick is to add NDMPlicense on your NetBackup (BP) server. It should solve the problem. In the veritas support webpage look for Veritas Netbackup 4.5for NDMP. I know you might have a newer version of BP but it will be very useful. I hope this is useful Marcos DeLima System Engineer Phones C +55 11 856532409 W + 55 11 35236683 Date: Wed, 5 Jul 2006 10:03:57 +1000 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] license question re NDMP backup HiAll ImfigureImmorelikelytogetthecorrectanswerherethenfrom veritas/semantic.
