Hi!
What is your practice/experience with NBU and VCB and multipathing software?
Most ESX environments has multipaths for VMFS.
So when presenting those VMFS to the proxy... one SHOULD present both/all paths.
But vmware does not support use of multipath software on the vcb-proxy (other

Hello,
I use Networker and Netbackup, in Networker I can see what save set is on

Yes.
With Networker, you'd probably use 'mminfo' to find all savesets
You have 3 separate options:
1. Client-based encryption. Free with 6.5 (and you may be able to get free
licenses for 6.0 if you're under maintenance). Adds a load to each and
every client. From what I've heard, it's not pretty.
2. Media-server based encryption. Puts the load on the media
Don't forget hardware based encryption using LTO-4 tape drives.
Netbackup 6.5.2 has key management functionality built in. To activate
the hardware encryption on LTO4 using NB6.5.2 after you have created
keys you just write backups to a pool prefixed with ENCR_* for instance
ENCR_Offsite. Using
If you have a library you may be able to do tape drive encryption with
what you have.
You just need to get it turned on (which most likely will take a license
from your library manufacture - which means money- but no new equipment)
Just remember that if you do this you must put HIGH
my understanding of using your tape drives to perform the encryption, you must
use the same type of drive to perform the decryption.
i'm looking at crossroads as a encryption appliance, similar to decru.

Thank you all for your replies!
We do have HP LTO4 tape drives in a StorageTek SL500 and was told by
Sun that the encryption could be turned on with a license fee. My
next question is: once the encryption feature for a LTO4 tape drive
is turned on, will all backups written to the tape by
I've got 2 master servers configured in NOM. One master is at 6.5.2 (as is
NOM) and is working fine. However, the other master - in India - is at
6.5.1 and initially comes up online, then partially online, then goes
offline. Are there any logs to tell me WHY it's going offline? Is it
because
PHSS_38154 supersedes a bunch of patches listed as being required in the

Unfortunately, it ALSO supersedes PHSS_30968, a patch which Symantec
recommends that you do not install. They recommend that because if you do

I'm not aware of how the licensing works for the LTO4s in an SL500. I'm
not sure why you'd need a license from Sun to activate this encryption
since it's a built in feature of LTO4 tape drives. I wonder if they
were referring to licensing key management software from them?
If you use the
Option 4 - Hardware encrypting tape drives such as LTO4 or IBM TS1130 or

Not necessarily a cheap option either but if your current gen of tape
drives are nearing EOL the cost between an upgrade and an upgrade with
hardware encryption is often minor (physical tape costs can be

My understanding is all backups to that tape drive would be encrypted.
But you can set up a storage unit that has that tape drive in it.
Then setup your policies to use that storage unit that would go to

To keep your tapes straight you should also set up a volume pool where
Hi,
We duplicate backup images from disks/tapes to tapes weekly using

Hello Rongsheng,
I think there may also be a 4th option, though potentially more
expensive than an appliance solution if you don't already have the
hardware-
IF you have LTO4 at your primary site and you either have (or don't
need) LTO4 read capability at your offsite:

Right, VxFS and VxVM is only required for the snapshot client not for the

First off, SLP will do nothing with the job until the backup job
completes. So if you have an admin issue cancel all and it is on the
backup step and the job fails as a result of this, SLP never knows about
it and won't do anything.
Once the job is backed up successfully, it falls into the

hi.
i believe that once the drives have been enabled to encrypt data, then
they can only be used for encrypting data. i've heard that whatever lto4
vendor you use to encrypt your tapes, you must use the same vendor to
decrypt your tapes.
i am using hp's lto3 at home but at sungard i use ibm's
Decru is OK , but if you do a non-encrypted restore through it, its dog slow
due to the fact they only dedicate 1/32 engine power to clear text restores.
But since you have an onsite copy for that it won't matter...
What's your retention time?
That's the key to choosing a solution

What's a non-encrypted restore? A restore from an unencrypted tape? If
some people don't have to/want to encrypt everything (that's the point), and
you can send a backup through the Decru in the clear(i.e. you can trigger

is degraded. Confirmed issue, but a non-issue for most people. It
