I’m currently running NetBackup 7.6.0.1 on Redhat Linux. I admit, I’m taking 
the quick easy way out on 
this but I need an answer kind of quick. Is there a way I can get a count of 
tapes that have a 
retention of more than 1 year?
Thanks in advance…

Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup Clients : Mass Install

I doubt we can push windows binaries from the master server itself. We can only 
push unix binaries from the master server.

No.   The master should be able to push to any clients it 
supports.   We have a mix of Linux, Windows and HP-UX.  
Previously we used an HP-UX master but have
 been using a Linux master for several years.   You have to create 
the policy with the client first to do the push though.
 
We quit doing the push some time ago in favor of doing ssh install to Linux and 
Unix.

If my master and media are on Solaris, can I still push AIX/Windows/RHEL with 
dedicated polices ?



Don 't I need a master server on same platform too ?

You can  create the policy in NetBackup and use that screen to push to the 
clients you’re installing.    That assumes you’ve opened up 
connection to the clients.  
 You’d want separate policies for AIX, RHEL and Windows of course. 
 
I don’t know how many clients you can push to that way at once though.
 
Here we typically don’t push but rather do it via command line but we don’t 
have 5000 servers.   Are you going to user desktops vs servers in 
that 5000 count
 by any chance?  If so I’d focus on servers first then do desktops (if 
ever – here we don’t back up desktops – we reload in the event of failure).

Hello All,



Let say we have our master server on solaris 10 (sprac architecture) and Media

Now we need to install NetBackup clients on 5000 server with mixed OS linux,

What is the best way to install clients ?



I know we can push through SCCM (in windows ) and puppet (in linux)  is

Re: [Veritas-bu] Ideal Netbackup solution for backing up millions of files

[nbuser]

Flashbackup is the ideal option to backup these many files. We use it and till 
now no issues reported.

>Hi,



It would be extremely helpful if the expert minds in this forum could help me 
with below concerns related to backing up data using Symantec NetBackup.



Background



Our system has a folder containing millions of small files spread across 1000s 
of sub folders running into more than 500GB that needs to be backed up on a 
daily basis. The backup usually starts end of day and is ideally supposed to 
finish before users start accessing the system the following day. However, the 
current backup using Symantec Netbackup takes lot of time and hence, this 
impacts the system performance. I assume this is because of the current backup 
approach used by Symantec is based on file-level backup.



The current backup policy has a monthly full backup, weekly differential backup 
and daily incremental backup. However, the daily backup itself takes more than 
double the desired time. Symantec client version is 7.6.02.The server is a 
physical server having Windows Server 2003. The drive is dedicated to storing 
the files.



I am looking for a solution that would provide the fastest backup in order to 
ensure that backups are completed before users start accessing the system in 
the morning.



1. What is the best approach for backing up millions of small files spread 
across 1000s of folders using Symantec Netbackup?

2. I understand that flash backup feature in Symantec uses block-level backup 
and this would be ideal approach since there are lot of files involved?

3. What are the disadvantages of using Symantec Flashbackup feature?

4. Does installing Symantec SAN client without having fiber channel offer any 
improvement in backup speed? I read on some forums that you should use SAN 
client only if there is fiber channel support.

5. Would moving applications to Virtual Machines hosted on Vmware environment 
provide any improvement.



PS: Backups are not my domain of expertise and hence, I would like to apologize 
in advance if I have mentioned something absurd. Secondly, changing the 
application file structure is not an option :(



Cheers,



Shaheen

I am giving a scenario where monthly and yearly backups run on every First
Sunday of the month. What you can do is write a script which will run every
monday morning and which will check backups for that particular client
which ran in last 24 hours. If it doesn't find the yearly schedule it will
send a mail to the user with the warning.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Clean Device Config Setup - Continuous 84

[nbuser]

any changes made in environment. you can be facing ghost drive problem in
windows. you can try below steps

run a Netbackup Windows environment and get the “missing path” a lot. It’s
usually caused by ghost devices and here’s how to fix it.
Delete the “missing path” devices from the Device -> Drives portion of the
NBU GUI.
Then go to the media server the drives are connected to and open up a
CMD.EXE prompt.
Type in “set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1″ (notice underscores) then
type “start devmgmt.msc”.
The device management snapin should appear. Under the View menu, select
“show hidden devices”.
Drill down to your tapes drives. If you see any tape drive devices that are
grayed out, delete them.
While you’re there, verify that all the tape drives have Symantec drivers
and not the built in Windows driver.
Reboot the media server.
When it comes back up use the same procedure to verify that the correct
number of devices are showing in device manager and that there are no ghost
devices.
Then go to your NBU GUI and run the device discovery wizard for that media
server. The correct tape devices should now show up in the GUI and without
the “missing path”.

We use QLogic and we seem to have found workaround.

Whenever drives go down we reset the down drive ports from the switch side
and then drives come up. Now we don't need to reset the drives physically.

We also face this issue where we have to reseat the drive's fibre cable and
power recycle the drive. In our environment we have HP LTO-5  in Quantum
i6000 series tape library. Problem is sometimes drives go down and we have
to do the above mentioned steps to bring them UP. We also have encryption

Re: [Veritas-bu] downgrage media server to client

[nbuser]

You first need follow the steps to decommission the media server properly
and then remove the /usr/openv directory.

Then you can go ahead and install netbackup client binaries on the system.

Thanks,

Other clients are fine with the NetBackup server and the single robot.
Actually this client was fine with the the serer three days ago, but now
each policy created for this client got the 800 error. Policies nearly
created for other clients are working fine.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Directive Shadow Copy Errors Logged

[nbuser]

You can try below VSS troubleshooting steps

1)   Before the test backup is run,   Run the following commands to verify
that the writers are stable and VSS is working properly

- vssadmin list writers > writers.txt
- vssadmin list shadowstorage > storage.txt
- vssadmin list shadows > shadows.txt


2). On the client please open the registry and browse to the following
directory -- HKLM\SOFTWARE\Veritas\NetBackup\CurrentVersion\Config

- There will be a key named "Debug_Level".  Please adjust this value from to
"3".

3). Make sure the following directories exist on the client

- \veritas\netbackup\logs\bpbkar
- \veritas\netbackup\logs\bpfis
- \veritas\netbackup\logs\beds


4) Adjust the backup policy to have the following backup directive -- Shadow
Copy Components:\

5). Run the backup policy.

6). Once the backup completes, please gather the following information --

>From the Client:

- Run "netbackup\bin\support\nbsu.exe -c -t -nozip".  Once this completes
gather the output folder that is created.  It will be located in
"netbackup\bin\support\output"

- "\veritas\netbackup\logs\bpbkar" logs from the time period of the backup
-"\veritas\netbackup\logs\bpfis" logs from the time period of the backup
-"\veritas\netbackup\logs\beds" logs from the time period of the backup

7)   Run the following commands to verify that the writers are stable and
VSS is working properly

- vssadmin list writers > writers1.txt
- vssadmin list shadowstorage > storage1.txt
- vssadmin list shadows > shadows1.txt

Look for something informational in the logs.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Uncofigured server group (Any) when trying to change storage unit for policy

[nbuser]

 Good to know that your problem has been resolved. Whenever we open the java
console all policies are locally cached on the system where java console is
installed and whenever you make changes, java console doesn't refresh
automatically. We need to do it manually so that updated policies can be
locally cached.

Why command line worked because you did the changes directly on the master
server...:)

Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP restore issue

[nbuser]

user had asked if it was possible through netbackup and which is not
possible.

NDMP backups are done at block level and normal backups are done at file
level and which is why it is not possible through netbackup

But if you ask that by trying manual dump command then you can surely do

Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP restore issue

[nbuser]

Well restoring ndmp backups between different ndmp devices is possible but
you only need to make sure that source volume path exists with sufficient
space equivalent to the bakcup size on the destination path. why i say that
because its been tried and tested where we ran into a situation when source
ndmp device was decommissioned long ago but backups were still on tape and
we restored its data on a different ndmp device.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP restore issue

in restore window you are entering policy type as what - ndmp or standard. I
haven't seen different source and destination types, they both need to be
same. if its ndmp backup then source and destination both should be ndmp and
policy type as ndmp.

You can try backing it only that drive in multiple streams. May be it is
