[Veritas-bu] Duplicating tapes with Veritas NBU 4.5

Hello all, I am working with Veritas Netbackup 4.5 Data Center and I'm faced with a problem. We have a pack of written tapes (multiplexing mode use when backing up) that contain only a few kb of data. As we are running out of tapes, I'd like to know how it is possible to duplicate the content of

By the way many of the commands have a -h host option. You don't have to go to the various hosts - you can just add the flag and issue the command from the master for each of your media servers. From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu

Jeff, I guess my main problem is getting too old to remember the SAN servers have their own media management database that has to be dealt with also :-) Know that I know how to find which tapes belong to which servers I could do that now. The big hammer and shotgun approach just seems to

NetBackup does not duplicate tapes. It only duplicates images. Use bpimagelist to determine the names of the images on the tapes. Then use bpduplicate to make copies of the images on a new tape. Bob Stump Fidelity National Information Services -Original Message- From:

[Veritas-bu] assigning only a portion of tape drives to media servers

We have all our tape drives (20) assigned to all our media servers (3 main ones, and ~45 that server as SAN media servers, backing only themselves up). Dealing with tape drive throughput issues and we've had a Brocade support person tell us that this setup is not ideal and that even when a tape

My setup is the same, all drives to all servers. If you are using a drive and the SAN media server is not in need of a second one, why would it keep scanning all the drives? I have had drives go down for some reason or another, but it only goes down on a media server that tried to use it.

I've had the exact same problem, with a Solaris 10 NetBackup 6.5.3 server. After looking at lots of things, I found the clue in that it worked if I ran jnbSA from the server itself, but failed when I used my usual console, which is the Windows Java Display Console. I also then noted that

Interesting. The following thread says in part: On further investigation, this stupidity is specific to SuSE and Gentoo which have patched glibc to support mdns. Debian has an nss-mdns which is the sane way to implement this functionality.
