If you're using Advanced Client backups (proxy copy for Oracle), you'll
get straight filenames for the datafiles, and some pieces (Oracle RMAN
pseudo filenames) for the logs, control files etc. (This is for NBU
5.1 which is the only version for which I have experience of proxy copy
backups).

I tried that and the first time I ran a backup job it actually ran an
archive job and wiped out half my stuff.
Thanks,

With NBU 6.0, you don't need to do anything special. Catalog tapes will be
taken from the Scratch pool if necessary and will be put back when they
expire. Your hot catalog backups have a frequency and retention just like
any other backup. As the images expire, the tapes go back to the pool
I inherited a messy netbackup environment(5.1 MP5). There is a tonne of
inactive policies(more than hundred). Before I nuke them I would like to
find out when was the last time it was executed. Any easy way to find this ?
I can look at the catalog one by one, but it will take forever.

According to the latest 5.x compatibility list
(http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/263839.htm), 64-bit support
(both for AMD64 as PC-X64 hardware and Itanium as PC-IA64) is present
with NetBackup 5.1MP4 and later, which is somewhat reassuring because

6.0GA through 6.5GA I have not tried it yet on 6.51
I use multiple copies in my hot catalog policy, the Media are written at
the same time in my catalog backup
I do not duplicate the hot catalog backups with my duplication
I'm Windows so I can tell you from the GUI perspective. In your Reports
section you have one report called Client Backups that will give you
the information on all successful backups including when the job ran,
how long it took and what Policy was used for that client.

The totally unsupported method is to look
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/clientname/STREAMS. You'll see entries in
here with the policy name and path and a time that you'll need to translate
into human-readable method (there are ton of ways of translating this time).

Gabe,
The MP4 .exe files are on the support website and contain what you need.

Also of note, we tested (quite by accident) running the 32-bit client on
64-bit windows and it worked fine. I'm sure its not supported - but we
were ignorant at the time.

Martin, if you're still doing that live, you may want to test restores.
I wouldn't expect them to work properly, given the difference in word
size and all.
Dave, thanks! I did search (both through Google and through the support
site's search) without much success.

Does anyone on the list have a mixed media server setup with intermixed 32
and 64bit hosts?
Are there any Endian issues with the catalog?
Example:
Linux Master (32bit)
Solaris Media Server (64bit)
Windows Media Server (64bit)
Linux Media Server (IA64)
Would there be any issues in this
Thanks, Dave!
(Front line support passed my call over to customer care, and to a
location on fileconnect, which does seem to have the original 5.1
install media for most architectures and a Q18330C.NB.MP4.51.tar.gz
collection of 5.1MP4 patches... including winnt.intel and winnt.IA64,
but
NB_51_5_M_283089.winnt.x64.exe is the full installer, since it didn't
exist before that release.

I was getting that feeling, just based on the file sizes, now that I

We have several setups with 64-bit Windows media servers (newer
fileservers) pointing at 32-bit Masters (older Windows boxes).
Also have 32-bit Windows Media servers pointing at 64-bit Solaris
Masters.
No issues apparently. Restores have been working fine.

Shoot, sorry, didn't read that as closely as I should've. You need to
install the full installer NB_51_4_M.winnt.x64.exe first, then you
can patch it. The full install showed up under MP4 first.

Anyone know where I can find a table of the media type id's used in
Netbackup? I am specically looking to translate based on the number in
parentheses after the string in the media type field of vmquery -a.
Example:
As Ed said, the hot catalog backups are now treated like any other policy
would be treated - ie taking tapes from scratch, retention, appending to
existing tapes in the pool, etc.
If you are using tapes from scratch more than you think, take a look at
what your retentions are set to. Do you

The thing is, it's not expected as far as I'm concerned. It would be if
there were no tapes available for catalog backups but there are, as I
mentioned. We only have 1 week retention on the catalog backups and
there are 2 LTO3 tapes available so it's very unlikely they

They said it is no longer used. They gave no procedure for removing the

Is there any sort of tape limit on a standard NBU license?
We have this strange issue where we've just had an expansion unit added
to our SL500s tape library giving us 144 slots available. I'm still
trouble-shooting this issue but I can make the standard volume group
Do you have the right license on the SL500? By default, they appear to
come with a 100-slot license - at least ours did. We had to purchase a
license, and it was *expensive* to make use of the full 144 slots.
If/when you do purchase this license, you'll be shocked at the installation
Ed/Steve - If it turns out it's very unlikely to be Netbackup then I'll
begin to query the HW. The tech seems to think all the slots were
available and the library software could see all the tapes and I had no
reason to question him.
From: Ed Wilts [mailto:[EMAIL
You're referring to the licensing in the library itself, right? You're
right that NBU doesn't do slot-based licensing. It's all drive based.
It's actually NetWorker that has slot-based licenses.
