In some places the System Admins are the NBU admins. In others the NBU admins are a specialized team. In the 4 places I've worked where NBU was installed only one of them had separate NBU Admins. However, I frequently get inquiries from headhunters so it lets me know there is a market for NBU Ad

Re: [Veritas-bu] Restoring from Multiplexed Backup

Even if it's restoring all the filesystems simultaneously, you'll only see one job if you only kick off one restore. I suggest you use my for loop example, as it's very easy to type and you don't have to worry about the restore delay, as they'll all be issued within a second of each other. Als

Re: [Veritas-bu] Restoring from Multiplexed Backup

It's been a while since I tested this, but _I_ remember that if you wanted it to restore the way he wants, you HAD to issue five different restores at the same time and use the restore delay feature to start them at the same time. If you just selected five directories, it did them one at a time.

Am i right in assuming you are using multiple data streams? Only reason i ask if if you are not, as long as one of the directories exist on at least one of the servers then you shouldn't get a status 71 when the file list is done sequentially. e.g box1 has /data1 box2 has /data2 box3 has /data

Do you select all mount points at the same restore? If yes, then you will see only one job, but netbackup will restore all files in one tape pass. If you start 5 restores the you have to be fast (every restore must start within 30 sec, by default). This can be changed from master server proper
