dami commented on: Duplication from DeDuplication server using Netbackup Vault question

I have a suspicion that the data is being re-hydrated before it is vaulted to tape (not sure if this takes place on disk, but I would guess that it had to). I am also looking for solutions of how to get a dedupe pool onto tape for off site ...

dami commented on: Netbackup 7.0 vs Oracle Agent 6.5

Yes you can upgrade the master and media servers to 7 but leave the clients at 6.5 - see above from release notes for v7. Any particular reason for not upgrading the agent ?

dami commented on: Media Multiplexing

Yes, it looks like something is not configured correctly here if you have queued jobs. Max jobs per client would need to be set high if there are multiple jobs on single clients ...are you writing to a single volume pool ? How many tape drives do ...

dami commented on: Netbackup 7.0 vs Oracle Agent 6.5

It will be backward compliant with a 6.5 "client" or 6.5 media server (which may have 6.5 clients. An Oracle Agent sitting on either of these (6.5 clients / media servers) will be fine with a v7.0 Master server. If you were running ...

dami commented on: NetBackup_7.0_Win_GA-zip.1of2 How to UNZIP

Yes indeed, solved by running the following command which produces a readble zipped file: copy /b "NetBackup_7.0_Win_GA-zip.1of2"+"NetBackup_7.0_Win_GA-zip.2of2" "NetBackup_7.0_Win_GA.zip" Thanks

dami commented on: NetBackup_7.0_Win_GA-zip.1of2 How to UNZIP

Thanks KS I will try this and come back to confirm certainly would be useful to add this to the instructions somewhere.

dami posted: NetBackup_7.0_Win_GA-zip.1of2 How to UNZIP

I need a solution Hi all, I have been reading up on your v7 posts as well as going through the 50 new pdf manuals for v7.0 on-site and ready to install. Problem is, I cannot unzip the Windows files which I download from ht

dami commented on: bperror -media -U results - what next?

I'm sure you have seen the below relating to cyclic redundancy checks, and that you are going through them. These are nightmarish issues and very hard to troubleshoot. All I would add for the moment is that I have seen similar situations before ...

dami commented on: NetBackup

Catalog backups are a mechanism whereby the internal NetBackup Databases (ie all the data stored to tell NetBackup what data is where on its tapes) and of the NetBackup configurarion. Catalog backups are essential to recover from disk or system ...

dami commented on: Unable to install Netbackup client 6.5 on win2k3 server

I've seen this quite a few times, and on media server installations too. Trying to think how I solved them. Are you an administrator on the domain ? What type of admin account are you using ? Has the server been up for long or ...

dami commented on: OTman5

This version of NBU is getting old now (and unsupported I think by Symantec)! OTMAN is the old "open transaction manager" - it's purpose was to backup open files by creating a cache to handle ongoing transactions. It was ...

dami commented on: Netbackup device manager is going down all the time in windows 2000 server.

I would check windows event logs (application) ... there should always be messages when a NetBackup service terminates

Interesting .... Thanks

discussion comment 17 Sep 2009

dami commented on: Business Justification for Linux Vs. MS master/media servers.

For the amount of data your are talking about, Linux media servers are fine and MS Media/Master servers are fine too (2003 and above) as long as you have enough CPU/Memory and sufficient high speed NICs on board. What I would not ...

dami commented on: Cross mount points functionality

I am not sure, but think that Android might be right on this issue. I don't think there is a way of disabling the 3s check you mention. Have you thought of trying Flashbackup as an option insted ? It may be faster, although I am not sure ...

Hi Marrianne, A couple of things which may or may not help. We use these (really good) TS1120 tape drives but I only have windows media servers attached to them. One thing I do recall very clearly at least from Solaris 8 is that you COULD NOT ...

dami commented on: TS3500 on Netbackup

You should be seeing this as a TLD library not TLH. Have you now got it working ?

dami commented on: Best Practice for Backups?

Yeah this works fine in an MS Clustered environment - only of course you will never fail over backups. If you fail over, backups/restores will need to be restarted.
