b2b posted: Ability to modify advance filter setting in Netbackup Java GUI.

Advance filter setting can be quite complicated. It will be nice if instead of removing the old setting and creating modified setting instead, the GUI would have an "Edit" button next to the existing "Remove" button. The "Edit" button would restore selected filter set

b2b commented on: NetBackup Log Analyzer

The unified scheme is not a unified logging. The logs are still different. They have different originator IDs and they are coming from different files. That's makes Netbackup troubleshooting quite a hard job. The analyzer ...

Agree. That's could be useful.

b2b commented on: NetBackup Best Practices Analyzer

That's can be very useful. We created our own script which checks each Netbackup server and verify that the Netbackup conf setting match the recommended for that type of server. Based on the setting attribute (force, no force) the script can ...

b2b posted: NetBackup Log Analyzer

Very often it is not easy to find out proper log entries about outage, errors and other events in Netbackup environment. There are too many logs, now located in three different areas: /usr/openv/netbackup/logs, /usr/openv/volmgr/debug and /usr/openv/logs plus bperror logs in /usr/openv/netbacku

b2b posted: better shared drive control

It iis necessary to specify each media server name in vmoprcmd command in order to bring a tape drive up or down or reset it. I thin it is very convinient to have an option -allhosts, which will run the command for all media servers connected to the same tape library. Example: vmoprcmd -up 1

b2b posted: Add iostat data to device monitor.

The device monitor should also contain iosatat data like write and read per second, average number of transaction and average service time. The job monitor shows speed per stream, but it is not very easy to calculate that number per drive in MPX environment. I would like to see the current dr

Agree. bpdbjobs output has that info. The GUI should have it too.

b2b commented on: Netbackup restores - Data size calculation?

Agree. I think the total restore size calculation feature should be available also in command line interface (bplist)

b2b posted: Foward a client name selection to Manual backup window

I have hundreds of clients in some policies on a single master. If I need to run a manual backup from GUI for one of such client. I can easily find a client or filter for a client name in the 'Summary of All Policies' -> 'Client'. But when I select that client and click on &

b2b commented on: Netbackup to support Kerberos on AIX

I am surprised that Netbackup does not support Kerberos authentication on AIX. It is working fine on Solaris and Linux.

b2b commented on: Better file search in restore GUI

That option can slow down or even freeze the GUI if directory tree is big and a number of files is huge. The command line (bplist) already have depth recursion switch (-R)

You can do it with -allvolume option. bpmedia -movedb -allvolume -newserver <mynewserver> -oldserver <myoldserver>

idea comment 10 Nov 2009

b2b commented on: Add immediate priority job request.

Netbackup should figure out the jobs with lowest priority and smallest size. Than find a drive (for MPX jobs) which has largest number of such jobs and suspend those jobs. Of course, the drive should not be available for new jobs. The ...

b2b posted: Ability to restore to different server type

I would like Netbackup to be able to convert types during restore. For example, I need to perform NDMP restore, but I have a problem getting a destination server. It would be nice to have in stream conversion between types, so the NDMP backup could be restored on Unix or Windows server. Another ne

b2b posted: Add immediate priority job request.

It is not easy and quick to start a an immediate restore or backup job in a middle of backup window when all resources are taken by the scheduled jobs. It is possible to suspend and or kill the current running job and deactivate policies in order to prevent new jobs from starting. I propose to cre

b2b commented on: Remove ‘Restore type’ pull down menu in the restore GUI.

John, I like your modification. I think the 'Contents of selected directory' area should have a restore type column. That will clarify what type of restore to select to filter just that type.

b2b posted: Remove ‘Restore type’ pull down menu in the restore GUI.

It is very inconvenient to have different restore types for the same client in the Restore GUI. We have servers, which are running the same type of backup (Standard, for example). But those clients have few policies with either different storage units (raw partition and regular tape library,

b2b posted: Add option to Vault only full tapes.

Sometimes we need to eject only full tapes from a tape library and leave tapes, which still have available space, in a library till they will get full. But currently vault does not have an option to select full tapes. It would be nice to have an option to select only full tapes together with a

b2b posted: Ability to start scheduled incremental backup before te previous backup is completed.

We are running certain policy backups every 4 hours. The partition contest is permanently changing. The files older than one day or sometimes older than few hours can be purged and totally new files can be created on the same partition. The size of the partition is ~800 GB each. If one partition b
