Seth Bokelman commented on: Datadomain 670 vs HP D2D
You might also want to consider Exagrid, we opted for them after being shocked at the price of the DataDomain quote we received.  Their architecture may result in more physical disks being on-site, but the price was significantly lower than ...

Seth Bokelman commented on: L180 LTO2 Drives Upgrade to L500 LTO4 w/ NetBackup
You don't need to keep those old drives around if you only need to read the old tapes, and never write to them.  LTO4 drives will read LTO2 tapes just fine.  I happened to move from an L180 to an SL500 with the exact configs you ...

Seth Bokelman posted: Unable to load activity monitor on admin clients after NIC swap
I need a solution I swapped out a NIC on my combo master/media server (running Windows 2003 x64), and since then, neither the Java nor Windows client can load the activity monitor, and everything else in the client seems very slo

Seth Bokelman commented on: Catalog backup fails with error 2 on NetBackup 7.1
That fixed it for me, I applied the hotfix (it was applicable, as I'm on Server 2003 x64) and the EEB, and now my catalog backups work again.  Thanks!

Seth Bokelman posted: Catalog backup fails with error 2 on NetBackup 7.1
I need a solution Hello, I upgraded one of my environments to 7.1 about two weeks ago, and all has been working fine until the last couple of days, when I started receiving error 2 backups while attempting to backup the catalog.

Seth Bokelman commented on: netbackup 7.0 backup the vm vcentre and vsphere 4.1
Whatever you do, do not use VCB.  You've got vSphere and NetBackup 7, there's no reason not to use vStorage API backups, and it's much easier to work with. Nothing needs to be installed in vCenter, or any of the guest VMs to ...

Seth Bokelman commented on: Hyper-V and NetBackup
You basically have two options: 1. Using a standard client license, purchased per physical host, you can install the NetBackup Client inside each of the virtual machines and back them up as you would physical machines, though I'd strongly ...

Seth Bokelman commented on: NetBackup 7.0.1 backing up VMs on ESXi 4.1 on NFS
In one of my environments I have a small NetApp FAS2020 with a dozen VMs or so on it.  Last night my jobs ranged from 15,000 to 20,000 KB/second according to NetBackup.  I haven't done any performance tuning or anything special, ...

Seth Bokelman commented on: Netbackup 7.0.1 error
I'm seeing the same errors on 7.01.  I've created entries in the hosts files, and still no luck... Did anyone find a concrete solution to this problem yet?

Seth Bokelman commented on: Not all files backed up Win2008 R2
Are you using DFSR by any chance? Also, there is no such thing as a 32-bit 2008 R2, the R2 release is 64 bit only.  Do you mean 2008 32-bit SP2?

Seth Bokelman commented on: What OS to use for NBU master server?
I agree with Zahid, use whatever you're most comfortable and/or skilled with.  Any of the supported Operating Systems will work, and I think it's more important that you be able to comfortably patch & maintain the OS than ...

Seth Bokelman commented on: NetBackup Client for Ubuntu 10.04
I can confirm that 7.0 will work on 10.04, I'm the one with the problem that generated the technote. :)
discussion comment 20 Oct 2010
Seth Bokelman commented on: The backup jobs are running 1h after its schedules.
Backup windows in NetBackup define the timeframe that backup jobs can START in.  Backup jobs do not stop when the window closes, they just don't start anymore.  Any running jobs will continue to run until they are finished. ...
discussion comment 20 Oct 2010
Seth Bokelman commented on: Backup SQL Databases in VM using Netbackup VCB
Using either VCB or the vStorage API backups with SQL servers doesn't properly truncate the transaction logs, as the VSS commands issued don't tell SQL to do that.  As Riaan mentioned, you'll want to install the client inside the ...

Seth Bokelman commented on: How to keep just last version of a file
But synthetics require TIR, don't they?  Which means that files deleted from the filesystem of the client won't be included in the full image...  That full image would still be a snapshot of that server in time, not a collection ...
discussion comment 19 Oct 2010
Seth Bokelman commented on: How to keep just last version of a file
I've seen options like that in some of the other backup products, maybe PureDisk or Avamar, but I think the short answer is: There's no way to do that in NetBackup.  All retention options are at the image level, not the file level.
discussion comment 19 Oct 2010
Seth Bokelman commented on: Activity Monitor info
You should strongly consider installing Ops Center (on a separate server).  It's free and will give you access to a lot more historical data than you can dig out of activity monitor yourself. That'll be much easier to work with than ...

Seth Bokelman commented on: Ubuntu 10.04 client with Net Backup 7
I have successfully installed the 7.0 client on an Ubuntu 10.04 server.  The problem I ran into during the install is that it attempts to use rpm to install an rpm package of PBX, which doesn't work so well on a debian-based ...

I need a solution Unless someone else has been successful with this, it looks like we're going to be waiting on at least 6.5.5 for R2 backups. :( NetBackup 6.5.4 doesn't seem to work properly with Server 2008 R2, I

Seth Bokelman commented on: Server 2008 R2
We've had Server 2008 (final) released to us, and already have one server in production (just our KMS server to activate other servers).  You guys might want to get more up-to-date on when these things are really being released to customers...
