What I done was migrate the Netbackup Clients over to a newly created
Netbackup Master Server. The old one was still in production (Netbackup 3.4)
at the time and the new Master uses the Robotic Library. Clients were set to
allow the new Server to perform backups after client upgrades carrie
I assume you don't want any backups that this media Server would be
responsible for to be carried out by this Media Server?
What about changing the Backup Policy to the Master Server? (ie: storage
unit) ? Minimal effort and backups should still run, as long as the server
has permissions to back i

Thanks Cheryl, Marianne, Judi, and

Symantec prior to sending my email request to this group and combined with all
your emails and tech support I was able to get the problem solved.
It turned out that I had to rebui
Pat,
As long as you’re are using the same
Master/Media servers and your tape library drives can be seen from the media
server doing the restore, you should only have to re-inventory library 1 and
2. This will sync your volume database on all the servers.
Thanks,
Judi Gordon
What I've done in the past is just change any policy using a storage unit for
that media server to use a different one. Later, I just changed it back. You
can also set the available drive count for that storage unit to 0 & do a
"bpschedreq -read_stu_config ". It's supposed to work to reread
Hi Dave,
Assuming you have to follow this method its not a problem so long as:
1) you don't mind having root level passwordless access from the master/media server to the clients host (via rsh or ssh public/private keys).
2) you don't mind having restore over the network, or you don't mind ha
Tried it at version 5.1MP3. Eventually got a note from Symantec saying
that they were giving up implementing it in our environment.
It produced a quite noticeable amount of lag accessing the GUIs, and
since they weren't able to get AD to work here it would've required
managing 60-odd users' permi
Hi Patricia,
from my understanding of your problem I think Mark's suggested reason is a red herring.
I think the reason you do not understand the behaviour being exhibited is you have made some false assumptions about the logic NBU uses when performing a restore. The logic which causes this is

and deactivate policies.
If any client need to backup via this media server
move to another media server or master server.
this serves your pupose i suppose.

I use a $60 barcode reader hooked up through the keyboard port. We
use the Vault option and Iron Mountain w/ Containers. Vaulting puts
the tapes into a different volume group. The scanner makes the
process of putting tapes into containers more accurate.

There will definitely be a performance hit. All wildcards are expensive but
that's the price you pay for easy-to-manage.
How about finding all files with these extensions, writing them to a file, then
backing-up the file-of-files with bpbackup and the "-f" option?

Ian,
I'm wondering how you have your multiplexing and multi-streaming set up
as well as how you have your storage units defined. The 50 error may be
caused by all the jobs going to the same storage unit at one time.
Start by creating two storage units for each media server use a 0 and a
1 before e
Hi everyone,
You can try setting/creating the timeouts similar to what I use below on
your master and other media servers. I backup approximately 16 to 20
terabytes of data each night and I have to have extended timeouts so
clients don't fail due to long waits in queue for a drive. After making

The restore is not managed by what library
owns the tape. A restore, by default, requests all tapes that contain the
*primary* image for the data to be restored regardless of the location of the
tape. If this offsite tape contains copies of images that are also
on local tapes, then you nee
Maybe the DB guys need to place .bak files onto a SAN volume to make backups
easier to manage?
Hopefully something will work out, and yes, I guess more time will be spent
scanning the server(s) looking for these files rather than actually spending
the time probably backing it up :-)

H sounds complicated, but looking at the SysAdmin guide, you may be best

Put ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES at the policy file list.
Put all your drives at the exclude list (c:\ d:\ e:\ m:\ n:\ system_state)

Hi,
You can use storage pools
from netbackup to track your tapes. Netbackup knows if a tape is inside the
library and you can use a script to inform netbackup were are the tapes that
are out of the library (with vmchange command)

Justin,
Maybe it’s too simple
for your needs but what I do here is to “overload” the Description
field that is stored with each media entry. I.e. the scripts that say when to
unload certain tapes also update this field so that you can see “at a
glance”, where a given tape is.

Hm well my first thought was incorrect storage unit for the policies -

Hi Everyone
I've been tasked with trying to find a solution to
our tape mountain here.
Our tapes are in one of four places and all have
unique bar codes.
Ideally, we want to have a handheld barcode scanner
that can record when our tapes go off site and come back from the off-site
datasaf
VxSS is not needed. And
if you decide to install it the performance of the activity monitor will be degraded.
