Hello Robin The SQL Side is done using NetBackup for SQL (So its an online agent). The Enterprise Vault backups are simply File level backups, no agents involved here :( Simon From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu on behalf of Robin Small Sent: Wed 23/01/2013 16:14 To: Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup / Enterprise Vault 10 - Question / Query I'm doing EV 10.0.3 backups through NBU 7.5.0.4 I use the directives and the database/app agent on my EV servers.

With Exchange, it uses VSS. I'm not entirely sure what triggers with EV, but file-level and database backups work. Are you using the DB/APP agent on your EV server(s)? or are you just using file-level? Also, how are you backing up your EV databases?

Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup / Enterprise Vault 10 - Question / Query
Hi Simon,
There are some powershell commands that can set and release EV's backup mode.
Toward the tail end of EV's Admin Guide, it shows how to set release the
backup mode. The EV installation ISO has some pretty extensive documentation
(think about how much NetBackup has, EV is on par with NBU in that category).
The powershell stuff will put the EV volumes into read-only mode while backups
run so it'll minimize any stuck-open files.
I'm pretty sure that, at that point, a file-level will get it there if you set
it up to clear the archive bit on backup.
There's a link here:
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=contentid=TECH172279
It's more database centric, but it does have some info on what to do.
FWIW, here are the bits on using the powershell cmdlets in backup scripts (from
the EV Admin's Guide):
%SystemRoot%\SysWow64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell -psconsolefile
C:\Program Files (x86)\Enterprise Vault\EVShell.psc1 -command
{set-vaultstorebackupmode -name 'Express Vault Store Group' -evservername
EVserver -evobjecttype vaultstoregroup}
%SystemRoot%\SysWow64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell -psconsolefile
C:\Program Files (x86)\Enterprise Vault\EVShell.psc1 -command
{clear-vaultstorebackupmode -name 'Express Vault Store Group' -evservername
EVserver -evobjecttype vaultstoregroup}
You should be able to put these in the bp start/stop notify scripts.
You'll need to work with your EV admins (assuming you're not the EV
administrator) to get the vault store group names (Express Vault Store Group
above), and EV environment details. All that is in the EV administrator console
on the server, but a lot of it is accessible only to the account that's the
specified EV Administrator (we use a service account here).
Hope that helps,
~ Robin
