I
have a mirrored 76GB disk set where my catalog is stored. Presently I have 9GB
of free space left.
Reading the NBU Admin Guide on managing the catalog, I was
interested in the section regarding compressing the netbackup catalog.
Simon,I've used this a couple of times quite successfully - you just need to be aware that selecting files to restore that are in the compressed catalog will take longer. Apart from that its a really good saving on disk space. You just need to chose a period after which the chances of having a

SNAP! Just said something along the same lines, and was kind of hoping

Hello,

Does anyone know if it is possible to go back to a 5.x release without losing

Aptare has an agent that sits on each NetBackup master server. It receives
input whenever a job completes and immediately updates the Aptare database.
For running jobs it runs a bpdbjobs command on a regular basis (This is

We have NetBackup 5.1 running in a Windows 2000/2003 environment. I would

Another alternative is to use the Schedule Service on your OS to stop the AV
before the Backups kick in and re-start the services after a given set time.
For example if you find your backups usually finish in around 12 hours set
the service to start after this time.
Just a thought...
