Hello all,
I am new to the list but it was suggested to me as a place to ask about some
odd behavior we are seeing on our recent Netbackup 7.0 upgraded system with
VMWare backups and Vault.
The basic issue is that we have a VMWare backups that backup ok, but when
vault goes to duplicate them it seems to hang on the duplication of image
job. They run for hours with no increase in progress until I finally manually
cancel them.
The only thing that seems odd about them is that they have kind of long Names
with spaces (I am using the new VM Name option rather than host name option
for selecting them in the policies)
The names of the images in the Job Details window are similar to
Oracle%20Collaboration%20Suite%2010.1.2_1266535125
Another curious thing I have seen is it showed Current Kilobytes written” as
2814727788026040 of an estimated Kilobytes of 14157877 on one of our jobs.
If anyone has seen this or knows of any issues I would appreciate any
pointers.
I have been doing some more research on this problem and have discovered that
none of our VM images with spaces in their names are duplicating.
In our vault jobs I see a lot of this sort of thing:

So a word of warning to anyone that goes to 7 and uses VMnames to select your
VMWare backups, Vault apparently cannot duplicate those VMs that uses spaces in
their names. I am in the process of changing the name of one of the VMs that
previously failed to duplicate to something without spaces and will re run the
duplication and see if that resolves it. I expect it to as our VM images
without spaces seem to duplicate just fine. This also would not be a problem if
you stick with using the hostname in your policies I presume.
