2014-06-13 Thread mdglazerman
Thanks for your input folks and apologies for the lack of feedback from me. We are going to have to do a full import of the tape images once the library is zoned into the newly created NetBackup servers. Part of the reason for the migration is that the old NBU servers are end of life and need

My daily full hot catalog backup which runs at 6am randomly failed this morning with a status 63 (process killed by a signal). The NBU troubleshooter for this error code says that the most likely cause of this error is someone cancelling the backup but I'm the backup admin and was in my car wh
