And remember – when you duplicate images the retention period starts from the 
beginning

e.g. a retention period of 1 year starting in may is duplicated in august will 
only expire in august the following year

 

so if you are scripting the work you may want to check the image retention and 
modify it when duplicating the image

 

If I remember correctly NetBackup wont allow you to duplicate the image between 
media servers – this ensures the traffic is localises to the systems SCSI 
busses as popped the NW.

If you have all the tapes in the library, or at least all the tapes that the 
images span, then yes, NBU will work it all out for you. If not you'll have to 
get tapes in quickly. This is what Ed was alluding to with "a lot of 
groundwork".

[Veritas-bu]  need help with mass tape copy

 

 

 




thanks Rob, i can configure drives on the same server.

does anyone know that if there's a backup image that spans multiple tapes if 
netbackup will be smart enough to know the change in tapes even if i'm not 
copying the multiple tapes at the same time?
