Re: [Veritas-bu] Bparchive status
For our MS SQL databases we have included a final step in the hourly transaction log dump which triggers a NetBackup job that performs a differential backup to a disk staged area on the backup server. The staged area then gets backed up to tape every three hours. The transaction logs left on the SQL server get purged after 3 days. Being a Windows based server the purging script checks to make sure that the archive bit has been reset before doing the deletion. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Deiter Scott Sent: Friday, 11 August 2006 6:08 am To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Bparchive status SETUP: Windows 2000 and 2003 clients Netbackup 5.1 mp4 Solaris master/media The bparchive is setup as a user backup and scripted in a dos.bat file.

[Veritas-bu] Bparchive status
SETUP: Windows 2000 and 2003 clients Netbackup 5.1 mp4 Solaris master/media The bparchive is setup as a user backup and scripted in a dos.bat file. PROBLEM: We have been forced to archive our sql tranasctions logs. We have attempted to use the bparchive against a temporary directory where we use robocopy to move the files from source to this temporary directory. The ugly thing that just happened is that on of the files was not completely there. So a status 1 occurred. None of the files where deleted. So next time(daily) we must create another image of these files and hope for a status code 0. This consumes excessive tape and time. 2-7 gig per day.
