my hideout

http://www.mass.dk

Here I post info all sort of info that took me long time to obtain, like bugs, bad documented commands or oddities with resolutions and examples.

Basically sharing what I know so other don't have to go through the same process as me.

Assumption is the mother of all mess ups.

If this post solved you’re questions please send a gratitude by marking it as a solution.

Entire NBU Docs as one download

Entire NetBackup 7.1 Documentation Set in PDF format http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC3906

(Posted IDEA for Docs to be made available in more e-reader formats ... epub mobi etc)

Tip: Get overview/document your NBU environment. Run 'nbsu' and review the output.

• If this provides help, please vote or mark appropriate solution.

It's a great idea to share

It's a great idea to share useful information. For myself, it's so easy, but for others, it may be very hard.

thanks again.

Hi.. is nbu 7.5 backup

Hi.. is nbu 7.5 backup planning and tuning guide available? I've seen the 7.1 is available so far.

 

 

Symantec NetBackup™ 7.0 - 7.1 Backup Planning and Performance Tuning Guide
[Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC4483]
 
I am looking for the Master server hardware performance requirements. e.g. cope for number of Media server built; associates with number clients; number of jobs per session/day; backup data capacity.
 
I was told that, there is no hard limit on the number of Media / or clients built within a Master.
Thanks.

Installation guide instead

http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC5155 - NetBackup 7.5 installation guide has recommendations on HW for NBU 7.5. This doc is under the common link shared in this article by Marianne.

There is no separate document

There is no separate document listed in 7.5 docs. The assumption therefore is that the previous doc would still apply.

This 2-year-old White Paper contains good suggestions for Master server sizing/specs. IMHO it should still be valid: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/articles/w...
