GlenG commented on: Cleaning tapes
The tape drives that I have used over the years have always self cleaned whenever a cleaning tape is loaded.   If NetBackup is configured to clean the drive(s) and there is  a cleaning tape in the library then NetBackup should load ...

GlenG commented on: Netbackup skips mounted volumes on Solaris
  We do not backup /u02 on our Solaris servers.  /u02 contains Oracle DB database files and as the databases are up the files would be of no value.   Solaris NetBackup exclude lists are in /usr/openv/netbackup on the ...

GlenG commented on: VMware restore requires working DNS?
I do not know if this relates to our problem (I am NOT backing up/restoring VMware) but we were advised by our vendor to use /etc/hosts entries for all the NBU clients.  It does require extra work to keep it up to date but it seems to avoid ...

GlenG commented on: LTO technology upgrade
I went from LTO2 (IBM) to LTO4 (HP).  My gut feeling is the IBM drives got somewhat higher compression.  I no longer have any LTO2 stats but here is  some observations from my current LTO4 tapes.  I have just over 200 ...

There are multiple streams but there are several "filesystems" with 1TB to 2.5TB each per server.  Even with the running 100-200MB second it takes awhile ..   Thanks for the info, GlenG

I need a solution Running NBU 7.0.1 master/media on Sun X4500 w/Solaris 10 and Sun SL48 w/LTO-4 tape drives.   I have a small number of servers with multi TB filesystems TB.  The backups run at various times of the week.

GlenG commented on: Console error (nbu 7.0.1 CONSOLE DOES NOT SUPPORT nbu 6.5.5)
I will admit that I have not looked at the documentation recently but in the past the NetBackup admin console (GUI) did not support multiple levels of NetBackup.  I think you are forced to install both versions if you need to administer ...

GlenG commented on: please explain AD capability with Solaris X86 master/media
Andy,   Your quote is from the GRT section.  It's my understanding GRT is not supported on Solaris X86 (or X64) and that Symantec has no plans to do so.   I did find AD mentioned in the "How to restore System ...
