Nobody responded yesterday so I thought I would throw this out there one more time :-)
Bob Stump -----Original Message----- Dear fellow NetBackup laborers, It's been awhile since I've participated in this forum, but I would like some opinions on DR for a large enterprise environment that simply has too many media servers to list all of them in bpsyncinfo. I am proposing to do the following for backing up the catalog information in NetBackup 5.x media servers: 1. Remove the file lists for the media servers from the bpsyncinfo. 2. Create a single standard NetBackup policy for all UNIX media servers /usr/openv/netbackup/db /usr/openv/volmgr/database /usr/openv/var /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf /usr/openv/volmgr/vm.conf /usr/openv/netbackup/exclude_* /usr/openv/netbackup/include_* 3. Create a single windows NetBackup policy for all window media servers C/Program Files/VERITAS/Netbackup/db C/Program Files/VERITAS/volmgr/database C/Program Files/VERITAS/var 4. Create a bpsyncinfo that would only include the master catalog files This is kind of like the 2 tape system for backing up large catalogs as described in the NetBackup Sys Admin Guide. I think this should be OK because in a disaster scenario the master server will be bprecovered first. Then, if the media servers are one of the master server's regular backup clients then it would have all the information it needs to be able to restore the catalog and special files to the media servers as its clients.
