Netbackup Services
We are moving from Backup Exec to Veritas Netbackup.
I'm new to Netbackup. Could you please share some documents that would help me to learn the basics?
I would like to know about the following:
1. The services running for netbackup.
2. Folders installed under Program files\veritas
3. database used in Netbackup, after installation I cannot figure out which is the database service running, like for Backup exec there was SQL (BackupExec)
A may definitly have more questions.
Thank you in advance.
You will find links to all
You will find links to all manuals in the 'Handy NBU Links' in my signature.
Uninstall NBU on the server, then read through Installation Guide. Ensure all pre-reqs are met before you attempt another install. Services wil start automatically after successful installation.
Please take note of the fact that you can only use Disk Storage on a virtual master/media server - no tape.
To understand configuration of backup storage and policies, please read through NBU Admin Guide I.
NBU databases and folder structure are also covered in Admin Guide I.
NBU is not an 'off-the-shelve' product that you just install and go next, next... and all is working.
You either need to attend a 5-day classroom training course or spend lots of time reading manuals.
Not something we can help you with in a single forum discussion....

On which OS you are installing the NBU? What error you see in the event viewer when you start that service. Try to bpdown and bpup.
Check NetBackup Install.#####.log to check if install was smooth.
Is firewall on? Disable it if it is.
this is a windows server 2003
this is a windows server 2003 R2 server.
firewall is disabled.
I will check the log.
Thank you.
