Netbackup Backup, Archive, Restore Console
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 7 comments
All,
Sencerio -- Backed up some plain .txt files to the following directory - /mnt/drive2/b2d/logfiles/basictxtfiles/ When browsing the directory to launch a restore within Backup, Archive, Restore Console I only see the /mnt/drive2/b2d/logfiles folder and not the basictxtfiles folder. I'm logged in as root.
Any thoughts as to why I'm not seeing the full directory path? I can open a terminal window and can get to the full directory path /mnt/drive2/b2d/logfiles/basictxtfiles/

bplist
Does it show in bplist??
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bplist -S <master server> -C <clientname> -R -s <start time> -e <end time> /
if bplist does not show, then re-check if the directory was backed up.
If bplist shows, then try to restore from command line:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bprestore -B -L /tmp/restore.out -R <dest path> -C <client name> -S <master server> -t <policy type> -f <path to restore>
scorpy_582, Can you include a
scorpy_582,
Can you include a sample output from your server when you run the bplist command with the options .? When I run it on the test server it returns nothing.
Example:
directory : /usr/openv/netbackup/bin
[root@nbutest bin]./bplist -S nbutest.impactsci -C nbutest.impactsci
EXIT STATUS 227 : not entry was found
when issueing the command: ./bplist -S impact.impactsci.com -C nbutest.impactsci.com it returns this to the prompt
[root@nbutest bin]
My master server is : nbutest.impactsci.com and client is the same server : nbutest.impactsci.com
Am I doing something wrong?

Try to use crossmount point

gilbert08, Tried that as well
gilbert08,
Tried that as well and still could not see the folders in the gui, for the restore. I'm trying a plain local backup to folder /home/nbuusr/localbackup and will try a restore to /home/nbuusr/localrestore ( this is all on the local primary drive) and not the slave (mnt) drive. Will let you know the results shortly.

Restore folders not visible
gilbert08,
The local restore gave the same results. When browsing within the GUI to select the folder/files for the restore, they are not visible. Yet when you select the Backup tab and browse the folder list and select the folder where the backup was directed, the files are there from the backup job. Could there possibly be a Netbackup software patch that needs to be applied or am I just overlooking something that hasen't been checked in one to the restore boxes?

When you say you've backed up some files TO an area...
...do you mean a Basic Disk Storage Unit?
If that is the case you won't actually see where they are backed up to (in the same way as you don't 'see' the tapes that you write backups to), you can only 'see' where they were backed up from. Or have I got totally the wrong idea here?
Have just tried here as I was a little confused (still am!) as to what you were trying to achieve. So had to set up a Basic Disk storage unit (path: /disk_storage), picked a file in /tmp to back up & created the appropriate backup policy. Ran the job & went into BAR. Cannot see reference to the path /disk_storage (as expected) only reference to path /tmp where the file was/is originally located.
Apologies if I've got the wrong end of the stick here & have just wasted your time, but it was good exercise for me!!

Andy, What you've descirbed
Andy,
What you've descirbed is what I'm seeing and you're 100% correct. So don't feel you wasted your time or mine. Was just confused and didn't fully understand the disk-to-disk backup routine.
