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 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 (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 (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.

Catalog Recovery Procedure for the Loss of an Entire Catalog
You should create a detailed disaster recovery plan to follow should it
become
necessary to restore your organization's data in the event of a
disaster. A
checklist of required tasks can be a tremendous tool in assisting
associates in
triage. For example, after the facility is safe for data to be restored,
the
power and data infrastructure need to be verified. When these tasks are
completed, the following scenarios will help to quickly restore the
NetBackup
environment, and in turn, restore applications and data.
Disaster Recovery Procedure using the DR Image File
In the event of a catastrophic failure, use the following procedure to
rebuild
the previous NetBackup environment.
Note: If new hardware is required, make sure that the devices contain
drives
capable of reading the media and that the drive controllers are capable
of
mounting the drives.
1. Install NetBackup.
2. Configure the devices necessary to read the media listed above.
3. Inventory the media.
4. Make sure that the master server can access the attached DR image
file.
Start the NetBackup Recovery Wizard from the NetBackup Administration
Console. Or, start the wizard from a command line by entering
bprecover -wizard.
Disaster Recovery Procedure without the DR Image File
NOTE: ONLY ATTEMPT THIS AS A LAST RESORT
If you do not have the attachment included with this email, use the
following
instructions to recover your catalog:
1. Install NetBackup.
2. Configure the devices necessary to read the media listed above.
3. Inventory the media.
4. Run:
bpimport -create_db_info [-server name] -id PD1158
5. Go to the following directory to find the DR image file
Hot-Catalog-Backup_1256122911_INCR:
6. Delete the other files in the directory.
7. Open Hot-Catalog-Backup_1256122911_INCR file and find the BACKUP_ID
(for example: _1256122911).
8. Run:
bpimport [-server name] -backupid _1256122911
9. Run:
bprestore -T -w [-L progress_log] -C -t 35 -p Hot-Catalog-Backup
-X -s 1256122911 -e 1256122911 /
10. Run the BAR user interface to restore the remaining image database
if the DR image is a result of an incremental backup.
11. To recover the NetBackup relational database, run:
bprecover -r -nbdb
12. Stop and Start NetBackup
13. Configure the devices if any device has changed since the last
backup.
14. To make sure the volume information is updated, inventory the media
to update the NetBackup database.
