We are running Solaris 10 boxes, Netbackup 6.5.3.1 1 master server 4 media servers SL8500 tape library with T10Kb drives
Just got back from a Disaster Recovery Exercise at Sungard in Philly. What we discovered is: Full Catalog backup does NOT backup /usr/openv/db but DOES backup /usr/openv/netbackup, /usr/openv/var, & /usr/openv/volmgr. Differential/Incremental Catalog backup DOES backup the following: /usr/openv/db /usr/openv/netbackup /usr/openv/var /usr/openv/volmgr The difference is the FULL backup misses the /usr/openv/db directory and its files, while the DIFF/INCR does backup the /usr/openv/db directory. So whats the big deal? In a DR Exercise, you normally bring your FULL catalog backup with you and recover the catalog from that FULL. What it does NOT put back are the Media Pools that are outside the Netbackup default media pools. This means that once your recovery of the catalog is done? You have nothing but the standard default media pools and not your production media pools for your backups and any RMAN backups. Anybody seen this or know if I'm just off my rocker or is Netbackup really missing part of the catalog for DR Recovery? Inquiring minds want to know. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by dpe...@acxiom.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +----------------------------------------------------------------------
