Re: [Veritas-bu] How to backup recursively a folder ?

2008-08-13 Thread Mark.Donaldson
6.5.2a (and 6.5.2) is brain damanged software. A very bad release and
I've been fighting several issues with it.

I suggest you revert, if you can, and if not contact Veritas support.

I don't have a Windows media server, though, and can't verify your
results.

 Hi
I used ./bpbackup /test/  and it did recursive backup.
By the way ...I have media server on windows 2003 and it stopped working
after upgrade from 651 to 652a. Any idea what went wrong ?
Where are logs to check why it is not starting ?
THX

It recurses automatically.. in fact, it's a common question on how to
stop it from doing that.

just do this: bpbackup -p policy -s schedule /testing

Note, the schedule above has to be a UBAK (user-backup) schedule type.

Hi
I am trying to use bpbackup command to backup files in a folder then sub
folders in that folder , recursively all way down. Tried command
./bpbackup /testing/* But it did not backup subfolder and underneath
that.Command help is weird not explanatory ..
# ./bpbackup -help
USAGE: bpbackup [-p policy] [-s schedule] [-k keyword phrase]
   [-L progress_log [-en]] [-S master_server...]
   [-t policy_type] [-w [hh:mm:ss]]
   -f listfile | filenames
   bpbackup -i [-p policy] [-s schedule] [-k keyword phrase]
   [-h hostname] [-L progress_log [-en]] [-S master_server...]
   [-t policy_type] [-w [hh:mm:ss]]
   bpbackup -dssu DSSUname [-S master_server]  [-w [hh:mm:ss]]

We had to install an nbpem EEB but since that was installed, it's been
working fine for us.  We run about 2500 jobs per day on a Solaris master
server with nearly a dozen media servers.  It may not have been a perfect
release for everybody at release date, but it's a far cry from a very bad
release.

I disagree with this advice.  Your first action should be to contact
Support.  If they can't help you move forward, THEN consider reverting.
Don't blindly revert, first because it's harder than it looks, and secondly,
there may be some data you need to capture to send to Symantec so that they
can fix any possible bugs you're experiencing.  You don't want to get bitten
by the same thing next time you upgrade and there's no guarantee that
somebody else will work with Symantec it to get it fixed.

Re: [Veritas-bu] How to backup recursively a folder ?

2008-08-13 Thread Mark.Donaldson
This may be the last two weeks of experience talking here.
 
We upgraded to 6.5.1 and starting having very long queue times.
Investigation showed that there was a fairly consistent 30-45 minutes
between when a job requested resources and when Netbackup actually
granted resources.  Adding 30 minutes to every job, when you run almost
4000 jobs per day, was killer.
 
It was suggested that this was a problem that was fixed in 6.5.2.  So I
upgraded to 6.5.2 and the queue time problem went away.  It replaced it
with a bug, though, were all my Oracle backups with a 24x7 application
schedule would die at midnight.
 
July 28th I opened a ticket, described the e-track number  the tech
note number and it took until Friday 8/8/08 to get the now infamous
nbpem patch.
 
Today was the first day I really had a chance to look at the results -
queue times are back at 30-45 minutes for resource requests AND the 196
errors are still occurring at night.
 
I just reverted 6.5.2 nbpem binary so I only have one problem to deal
with.
 
Three phone calls  an email to support today and I've yet to receive a
callback.
 
It's my opinion, beaten into me, I'd suggest, that this 6.5.2, 6.5.2a, 
6.5.2a-patch has been a bad set of binaries.
