[Veritas-bu] Drive not backing up

Sorry for the delay in getting back... Turns out that this is an EV issue with the times they do their archives. The full backups more or less work but the incremental backups fail. I created a policy to backup the drive during the day and it worked first time. I'm sorry i didn't mention this

[Veritas-bu] Drive not backing up

Hi, I have a client which has 7 local drives all of which backup except 1. It gets to a point where it allocates a tape drive, estimates how much is required to be backed up and then sits on a status of writing with 0 written. It will sit there for hours and never actually back anything up.

[Veritas-bu] NBU not seeing tape in tape drive

Hi, I have an issue where i'm on a dark site trying to get Netbackup 7 ready for a DR test. I have a server with Windows 2003 R2 and a directly SCSi attached LTO4 tape drive. The drive can be seen in Device Manager and the driver is installed. I installed NBU7, started it and straight away NBU

[Veritas-bu] NBU not seeing tape in tape drive

If I run the wizard it comes up with a very long bprecover error which doesn't really point to anything particular. Don't get me wrong, i have done other DRs and it's always been straight forward but this one is weird. I agree shouldn't have to import the tape but it's the last thing i tried as

[Veritas-bu] bpstart / bpend

Hi, Can someone give me an example of what I need to put into the start / end scripts on the client? I just need to know how it should look as I have never set one up before. I need to put a batch file into it but just need to know where to put it. Sorry if this is a basic question for some but

[Veritas-bu] BPFIS processes running

Thanks for all of the replies. Nic, I checked in fs_cntl and there was nothing in there. However, in fi_cntl there are a lot bpfis.fim.xml documents and fiid files dating back a few months from when it was installed... Also, on VMs I asked one of the guys in the Intel team to check and have

[Veritas-bu] BPFIS processes running

Hi, I'm running NBU 7 for Windows. I am getting problems first of all with backup jobs completing but the parent job stays active, this is just on a few VM servers using VCB. Secondly, when i look at the processes using bpps there are loads of bpfis processes sitting there. Ending netbackup

[Veritas-bu] Error 200

[Veritas-bu] Error 200

Hi, For 2 weeks running i have had 1 policy which hasn't run a weekly full backup. It submits the parent job but sits there looking for a stream but eventually fails with a 200 schedule found no backups due to run. I have checked the policy and first thing is that the daily incrementals and

[Veritas-bu] Error 200

Thanks for your replies... All of our policies are setup the same, i.e. the weekly and monthly backups are calendar based and the daily incrementals are frequency. This has never caused a problem before. Also, reading that tech note, all of our policies are set the same...so the weekly

[Veritas-bu] Why can't my backups fill up a tape?

I have noticed that my backups appear to use new tapes even though there is still quite a lot of room available on the tapes. I have set the policies to multi-stream and the storage units and schedules to multi-plex. Also the the retention periods are all the same. I must be missing something
