Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 6.5.3 master tanked
Hi You will need to know what was your offline catalog backup tape label before you start: 1. Make sure to call the server the same name as per the original server. 2. Get your robot and drives working on the new server. 3. Install netbackup and patch to 6.5.3. 4. Configure your robot and drives on netbackup. 5. Don’t worry about any other configs at this stage. After recovery the original settings will be back. 6. Run media inventory and check under media tab, check in which slot the catalog tape reside. Let’s say it’s in slot 5 for this example. 7. On command line in …\VERITAS\volmgr\bin\ run robtest. 8. Select your robot and then run m s5 d1 (this means move slot 5 to drive 1) 9. When it comes back successful loaded, exit out of robtest with Q. 10. Then in …\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\ run bprecover –l –tpath \\.\Tape0 file:///\\.\Tape0 11. This should come back with catalog information. If not do #9 again but change to Tape1, Tape1 and so on until you get the catalog info. 12. When you have the info, run in …\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\ bprecover –r –tpath \\.\Tape0 file:///\\.\Tape0 (or whatever tape drive gave you your catalog info) 13. It will start running and prompt you before it starts recovery of the next part of the catalog. 14. When done, stop and restart the netbackup services. 15. Or in …\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\ run bprecover –r ALL – tpath \\.\Tape0 file:///\\.\Tape0 (or whatever tape drive gave you your catalog info) 16. It will start running and when done, stop netbackup services and restart. 17. Check your settings and change where necessary. Hopes this help.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 6.5.3 master tanked
I will state that this worked for me, I did not have the e-mail capture of the drfile setup and I followed that LAST RESORT and it worked successfully. Only thing it did not restore was the NBU encryption DB/keys for LTO-4 encryption. You need to know which tape you wrote the catalog to though. Luckily, I had an e-mail of which tape was written to last for the catalog. A regular restore w/drfile works well, have done it many times, but in this case it sounds like you lost everything. You need to get NBU installed etc, setup your robot/drives, then perform the steps under LAST RESORT -- you do need to know what tape was the catalog though. Justin.

[Veritas-bu] NBU 6.5.3 Poss Bug - System Volume Information Folder
Evening Found a problem, which I got a work around on, but wondered if Symantec can validate this for me For some reason, some of the Win2k3 Servers volume are filling up. Investigation showed it was the System Volume Information Folder that was the culprit. As I know this folder contains Shadow Copy info (VSS), I went to check if Shadow Copies was running, and found it was all disabled. I believe NetBackup could be the culprit here. To get around the problem, I turn on shadow copy for a 300mb limit. This purges out the System Volume Information folder. But any ideas why it is doing it? Backups configured on the client to use VSS and rather than abort on error, set to disable snapshot and continue. Any feedback would be good.

Not as a master/media - but have had issues with it just as a client. Any new install of a 2008 box I get 49 errors ( Symantec does not know what causes it). I can put them back to 6.5.2a and they work fine, but at 6.5.3(1) they fail with 49's. The thing is that working with them to troubleshoot, I would upgrade them again and they would work. I cannot figure out why. I just installed 5 new 2008 clients. All failed first time. Next night 3 worked but 2 of them are still failing with 49's.

I did some testing with Master/Media 6.5.3 on Windows 2008 x86 and things seem to be running fairly well except when I try to backup windows 2008 master server itself. I am seeing performance hit when I backup win 2008 master. I heard that this can be resolved by using certain exclusions for windows 2008 clients. I was able to find something for Backup Exec 12 but haven’t found anything for NB 6.5.3. I have tested exchange 2007 mailbox backups and they seem to be running fine.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 6.5.3 Vault Query
Thanks Gabriel This is what I have tried. The Vault is setup for the correct volume group and pools, the criteria to be met are all backups, all policies etc etc in the last 8 days. Duplication is skipped as this is taken care of in the SLP, catalog backup skipped for the purpose of testing. As I am in implementation I continuously duplicate to this volume group so there are definitely valid image copies that meet the criteria. However the vault runs successfully however finds no images. From your mail below are you suggesting promote the duplicate copy to primary ? and in turn the vault will then meet its criteria?

Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 6.5.3 Vault Query
I'd need to know a lot more about your Vault and SLP configuration to say why Vault's failing to pick your duplicated media. If you shoot me the output of nbstl -L and your vault.xml (maybe pass it through the following Perl script first to make it easier to sanitize any of your employer's private information if you need to) privately, I'll be happy to take a look. ---8--- #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use XML::Simple; use Data::Dumper; my $data = XMLin(-); $Data::Dumper::Indent = 1; $Data::Dumper::Maxdepth = 0; print Dumper($data); ---8--- I wasn't suggesting that vaulting originals rather than duplicates would fix the problem you're describing (you can't, actually, vault true originals: your originals are on a VTL), just that it's theoretically a better way to go because it exposes media failures sooner (but not enough better that I've bothered to go change the setup in any environment I've walked into). -- gabriel rosenkoetter Radian Group Inc, Senior Systems Engineer gabriel.rosenkoet...@radian.biz, 215 231 1556 From: Clooney, David [mailto:david.cloo...@bankofamerica.com] Sent: Thursday, March 05, 2009 4:00 AM To: Rosenkoetter, Gabriel; VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 6.5.3 Vault Query Thanks Gabriel This is what I have tried.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 6.5.3 Windows Java GUI for the Admin Console
Bob, I have to disagree with you, for once. You can only use the java version with that same major revision; it is not backwards compatible to other revision levels (6.5 is not backwards compatible to 6.0 or lower, etc.). The java client is forward and backwards compatible within the same major revision - for the most part, there are things that may not work/populate if the Master is at a higher level than the Java client. I made this suggestion for backwards compatibility at the users forum, but it didn't sound like there would be much work put into it as the new user interface will take care of this. As stated, installing them to separate directories does the trick when multiple java versions/patch levels are needed on the same workstation.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 6.5.3 Windows Java GUI for the Admin Console
Mr Major said: Bob, I have to disagree with you, for once. It's okay; I'm not invested in it. :-) And thanks for the implied kudo. You can only use the java version with that same major revision; and The java client is forward and backwards compatible within the same major revision - for the most part, there are things that may not work/populate if the Master is at a higher level than the Java client. I'm fine with that. That in my experience it seems backwards-compatible within all levels of 5.1, within all levels of 5.0, within all levels of 6.5 is what I at least _meant_ to convey with IME, all patch/MP versions are backwards compatible within that major version (5.1, 6.0, 6.5). it is not backwards compatible to other revision levels (6.5 is not backwards compatible to 6.0 or lower, etc.). And that's the part I didn't know about (never tried it) but thought mightt work: It's possible, even likely, that each major version understands the previous versions Not as likely as I'd thought, apparently. Now we know that it's possible, but not true. :-) Thanks for clearing that up, Rusty. -Original Message- From: rusty.ma...@sungard.com [mailto:rusty.ma...@sungard.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2009 6:00 PM To: bob...@attglobal.net Cc: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu; veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 6.5.3 Windows Java GUI for the Admin Console Bob, I have to disagree with you, for once.

Remember to follow the rules. Master server and gui have to be the same level and same or higher then anything else. Media servers and clients and be lower then the master and the gui. If you have to have more then one version the install the console versions in different places and run the one you need. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Dennis Peacock Sent: Thursday, January 01, 2009 8:13 AM To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU 6.5.3 Windows Java GUI for the Admin Console Thanks, but I need to be able to support multiple versions...like 6.0, 6.5, 6.5.2, and 6.5.3 as well as Legato 7.x and Backup Express 2.3x and 3.x +-- |This was sent by dpe...@acxiom.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
[Veritas-bu] NBU 6.5.3 on Windows and VMWARE Backups
Hi All I am configuring VCB backups for NBU 6.5.3, for FlashBackup-Windows policy, there are 4 options for backup types under Snapshot Client Options. These are 0 - File 1 - FullVM 2 - Mapped FullVM 3 - FullVM and File for Incrementals From reading the docs, Option 3 - FullVM and File for Incrementals, looks like best of both world, it will let me restore single files and restore full guest VM. It also allows incremental level backups. Is there any disadvantage when using it compraed to other types. I am trying to avoid running 2 or more backups to completely protect a VM.
