Re: [Veritas-bu] Scripting bpdbjobs

I'd drop the "-all_columns" - it takes forever and gives you way more than you need. What you need is probably in the first couple columns or in the "-most_columns" output at the worst. You might also consider using a backup_exit_notify script on your master server to record client, policy, sched

Re: [Veritas-bu] backup retrieve test

Here's how we did it... We identified a critical subset of our servers for audit purposes - we don't test all servers for backup/restore audits. I have a special backup policy that backs up a dummy file on each critical audit server. I have a script on each audit server that restore this test fi

Re: [Veritas-bu] NSR's

We dropped the NSR speed to 2gb instead of 4gb. Our library apparently will handle the slower speed better. Thanks for the help. I was told that adding another NSR could potentially overheat the system. Erik -Original Message- From: Justin Piszcz [mailto:jpis...@lucidpixels.com] Sent

Re: [Veritas-bu] Experiences with Netapp backups

We have a few NetApp filers with FC, iSCSI and NFS storage. We don't do NDMP, but that's because of license costs and ignorance, I suppose. Our backups have been host-based with traditional NetBackup file system and agents. Recently, we've increased backups with NetApp snapshot (with a mirror,

[Veritas-bu] SQL issue

To clarify - I am running 6.5.2A on unix master and media servers, with MSSQL on a 6.5.2 windows server. Update from my DBA - these are transaction log backups, and he added a new database - since the TL will fail if there is not a backup, that is what caused the issue. Why would NetBackup not

[Veritas-bu] MSSQL issue

I have MSSQL backups running to Windows servers. They call $ALL databases. Every now and then, (is it a windows 'feature' - I am exposing my unix bias), they just ... stop responding to NetBackup. The parent job starts and calls some number of child jobs, the child jobs complete and the parent
