[Veritas-bu] 155 errors and NDMP backups

2006-12-21 Thread Shane Liebling
Hey all, I am getting some odd errors... I am backing up a whole mess of NetApp's via 3 way backups through Solaris media servers w/ fiber-attached LTO3 drives. For some reason on three of the netapps I appear to consistently get 155 (disk is full) errors. The volumes being backed up aren't any

Not sure how to do it in bpdbjobs, but you can get the timestamp by looking in /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/client_name_here/STREAMS. -Shane On 8/30/06, Yarldi Belac <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The date of last good backup does not appear to be in the output of > 'bpdbjobs -all_columns', yet

[Veritas-bu] bpstart/bpend_notify - any way to run them from the master server?

2006-08-02 Thread Shane Liebling
Hey all, I am looking to run some scripts on the master server when jobs kick off and/or end. I know about the bpstart/bpend scripts, but they run on the client-side AFAIK. I also know about backup_exit_notify, but I also need the start info as well. Any suggestions? -Shane

Re: [Veritas-bu] encryption

2006-07-06 Thread Shane Liebling
If the data you are backing up allows for it, I would suggest just PGP encrypting it, and then tarring it up before sending it to tape.  There are various open source and closed source options for PGP. I tend towards GPG ( http://www.gnupg.org/) myself...-ShaneOn 7/6/06, Bhangui, Sandeep - BLS CTR

Re: [Veritas-bu] Multiplexing problem

2006-07-06 Thread Shane Liebling
A couple things to keep in mind that can trip you up w/ multiplexing (and have done so to me in the past): 1) Configuration - The tape drive needs to be set up to multiplex and, if you really want to get the most bang for the buck, the policy should be set to multistream as well. 2) Media retenti

I hate how slow the GUI is, but currently there isn't an easy way to get some of the information you get in the activity monitor at the command line (I am often looking at speeds and such). For most everything else I go through the CLI (or scripts I have written that use the CLI). -Shane On 6/30
