LOL Ever seen a Windows box with 400 Terabytes of disk attached to
it? Me no think so. :-)
Ever seen a Windows box that can run 1100 backup per day for a total of
2.7 PB per month? We eat Windows boxes for a snack. :-)

Interesting thing is that we have almost 1,000 Unix boxes that span AIX,
TRU64, Solaris, HP-UX, and Linux. I've been hearing that Unix was going
away since I started working with Unix in 1985. Seems to me like it's
gaining ground and popularity. Take a look at the backend of the Mac

Funny that.
UNIX has been going to "succumb" any day now ever since 1970.
NT was introduced specifically to try to take the UNIX niche but failed
in that attempt (however it did succeed in taking over Novell's
fileserver niche). NT and subsequent Windoze flavors failed because

the tombstone. Windows has market share, which is far more important
than any standard. If you think a recognized standard or some other

So what's your point? :-)
Unix is a multi-vendor standard recognized by
Sadly, the standard linux tools of sar and iostat do not report on
tape devices. You'll need to use systemtap to gather that info, and I
think there are a few systemtap scripts floating around which will
report on that, IIRC.

FLB is used to get to the first file you are restoring. It is NOT used
once you start reading that file. The rest of the restore will read
EVERYTHING and throw away the blocks it doesn't need.
While this may not affect the performance of a single file, it will

There is no such thing as a Master Server License, never has been to my
knowledge(after 3.11). There are only Mediaservers. Any Enterprise Media
server can be a master. Mediaservers are tiered by OS (windows, linux, Unix)
and Manufacture Model #. Symantec determines which tier a Model is in. San

No Problem. I do it all the time. I usually import reports into excel to
total up or sort fields. It's the best way I've found to manipulate the
report data.
In Excel, you can "pre-format" the columns before you import so they
don't come in all wonky or messed up. I also use it a lot to make/s

All,
Is there a way to dump reports to a text file in Netbackup?
I pulled some information from Client Backups Report and would
like to dump this to a text file. Not certain if this can be done from
the command line > to a text file.

No, I have not. But why should that be relevant? After all, backup works
just fine, if I backup to disk or when I backup to tape with a shorter delay
up
There are some vendors that de-duplicate based on a sliding window out
of a stream of data that can be adversely affected by multiplexing also.
If you take a fixed block the statement I've gotten from the vendors is
that if you mix streams of data using multiplexing the de-dupe ratio can
decrease.
We upgraded from 6.0 MP4 to 6.5 earlier this week.
This morning I'm attempting to view a policy from the Java GUI. This
is timing out and telling me that it can't connect to the master server
and says to check to be sure necessary daemons are running. It doesn't
say WHICH daemon unfortunately.

Unfortunately not it was from 2003 regrding the new LTO-3 (when it was
