smpt commented on: Free second try to pass STS exam
I have not given any Microsoft exams, so I have to ask how match a Microsoft exam cost. Because Symantec exams costs aboute 30 to 35€. I do not think that 35€ is something so expensive to talk about. On the other hand EMC has the ...

Also a memo field at the policy attributes will be nice.

If you are doing installation and you are supporting customers FTP download is a must. I will spend a day or more to manual download all netbackup patches from the web. Stefanos

mmmm, I was aware about the SQL and VSS writer, as I posted, but not for windows 2008 incompatibility. I will check it with my wmware team and get back

smpt commented on: Is there any way to restore files backed up using ms-windows-nt policy type to unix
OK, your problem is with the GUI. For windows GUI you have to treat UNIX mount points as drive leters. So if you want to restore to /tmp/restore/test/   then you have to put as redirect restore path the ...

smpt commented on: Need help! Getting error code 84 when backing up only Drive E:
Error 84 is a nasty error and sometimes it is difficult to understand and fix it. In general error 84 is used by netbackup for every error in the data path, that can not understand (not netbackup related). Error 84 could be a faulty fiber, a ...

You can try Netbackup will restore the files to the client. But after that please check that you have all the files to the unix system. Do not expect that security permissions to be restored. stefanos

smpt commented on: Netbackup 7 API for SAP VM machines
I disagree. If the database is vss aware, you do not have to back it up with agent. Vmware tools will do the job. You need to backup the database with the agent if the database is not VSS aware (does not have VSS writer). Is there any document ...

smpt commented on: One particular file not getting backed up
put at the bp.conf file the entry VERBOSE = 5 and retry the backup. Then check again the bpbkar log. Is the same file omitted every time or it is a different file, randomly? A good Idea is to put in the file list ...

Are you backing up the client to a disk storage unit or to a tape?
discussion comment 09 Oct 2010
smpt commented on: RE: ALL_LOCAL_DRIVE
You are looking at wrong place. The job database (all the directories under the job directory) is not reporting the files you are backing up. you have to use the bplist or bpflist commands to get the file list of your backups. If you use the ...
