Cumulative Incremental Netbackup
Good morning, I am currently experiencing a backup problem on our file server. This is a multi TB server. FULL backup takes around 30 hours to back up (it takes place on weekends) We have implemented the cumulative incremental backup week. Some weeks, the backup will be completed in 1 hour or 2 hours Other weeks it will take 14 - 15 hours to complete. There aren't as many files modified to save for that long a week. I've heard of backups based on the archive bit. Can you tell me if in my case it is better to deactivate it? Thank you in advance for your feedback. We are currently in Netbackup 10.3.0.1, and my file server is in Windows 2012 R2
Orace RAC credentials validation is failing
Hi, Customer has oracle RAC (12CR2) on top of windows 2016 (two nodes) which is compatible in netbackup CL. communication is working fine and confirmed that port 1556 is enabled between client and master and media and vice verse. (bptestbpcd and bpnetconn are successful). webUI discovery is able to discover the databases but when we are using the credential validation we are facing below error the same account (oracle sys) is working fine locally on instances (so it is not locked out nor has permission issue as it is DBA ). anything I am missing in this scenario?
Expired Tapes not changing over to Scratch NBU10.5
Dear all, I`m seeking your advice on troubleshooting this issue. We run several master servers on different sites in our nbu environment. One location has problems with transferring expired tapes automatically to the scratch pool. NBU 10.5 on Windows Server 2022 (Same Master+Media server) Already tested: 1. Checked for "NoExpire" file 2. Checked bptm log for any "delete_expired_media" entries -> these can be found frequently 3. Ran bptm -delete_all_expired (no output in cmd was given) G:\Veritas\NetBackup\bin>bptm -delete_all_expired 4. Ran bpexpdate -deassignempty \NetBackup\bin\admincmd>bpexpdate -m A00212 -deassignempty Search for empty media that meet the following criteria: Media id: A00212 Continue? y/n (n)y No media matching criteria were found to be deassigned. no entity was found 5. Checked media for its origin pool vmquery -m A00212 -X ... Previous Pool: Scratch 6. Checking tape media with bpmedialist \NetBackup\bin\admincmd>bpmedialist -m A00212 Server Host = sbbg05 id rl images allocated last updated density kbytes restores vimages expiration last read <------- STATUS -------> On Hold -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A00212 3 2469 10/15/2024 19:00 10/18/2024 23:34 hcart 12306768008 0 MPX 11/18/2024 22:54 N/A EXPIRED FULL 0 The only thing that seems to be working at the moment is manually resetting the tapes through bpexpdate <mediaid> -d 0 Any advice? Thanks!
'vmoprcmd' output is wrapping at 78 columns
NBU 10.4 The CLI output of 'vmoprcmd' is wrapping at 78 columns, but the terminal session is 160 columns. How do I change this? eg.

Vm backup to disque extremly slow
Hi all, i have a physical netbackup 10.3 server with Win2016 running "fine" with vm backup to Lto8 tapes and disk. I bought a new server to upgrade in win2022 and i installed on it a fresh version in 10.5. i created a disk in storage unit. added my vcenter in credential and created a policy to test a vm backup. in attachement the backup log. after 01:42:59 of time elapsed the backup is at 39 KB/sec and has backuped 200000 kb of data. the same Vm backuped by the older Master is at 20867 KB/Sec in an 00:03:25 time. i tested with other vm and it's the same. Other problem : when i go in the gui in Policies or Catalog, (not after instal but after policy creation) i got the message "Could not get Class_att_defs information: Intermittent connectivity lost with the server ....." (in attachement) What could i check/modify to make this fresh master running fine please ?Unable to connect to Java Console -7.6.0.1
Hello All, This will be a long shot, but I've tried everything else: I have a master server on version 7.6.0.1 that has been working fine and consistently for the past several years. It is installed in a Linux server and I usually connect to the java console from a Windows server, on the same network, no firewalls in between. Two days ago, I tried to connect to it and I got an error: "Unable to connect to the selected NetBackup host 'mastername' 1 - Make sure the user 'myusername' has privileges on the host. 2 - Make sure the local host is listed in the server list of the destination host 'mastername' 3 - Make sure there is a valid network connection 4 - Check authentication 5 - Make sure all the services are running on the host" 1 - I'm not sure how to check my username in the master, since I have no access to the console. I've looked around and there is supposed to be a command "bppluser", which I don't have. Maybe it came in version after 7.6? 2 - The server is listed in bp.conf of master, both with and without fqdn 3 - Same network, pings ok, ssh ok, all good 4 - How do you check authentication? 5 - All services running as far as I can tell. Master was rebooted, and also netbackup services were rebooted several times. At some point, I've started trying different things, including redeploying the security certificate, but got an error: # admincmd/bpnbaz -setupat You will have to restart NetBackup services on this machine after the command completes successfully. Do you want to continue(y/n)y Gathering configuration information. ERROR: Failed to start security services - /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbatd -f Unable to fork child process. I tried it both with the nbu services running and stopped, same result, always using root account. Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanceNB 10.4.0.1 bpnbat vs nboracmd
Hi communities, our environment is Linux with NB 10.1.1. We have scripts to manage RMAN instances and we use a lot of home-made scripts in CLI with Netbackup commands like nboraadm. In our scripts, we can register instances and delete them, all from within our scripts. We installed a new Linux environment with NB 10.4.0.1. We found that the nboraadm command is no longer exists under NB 10.4.0.1 and has been replaced by nboracmd. This command is different from the old one and I'd like to adapt our scripts with the new command. I find that if I simply want to list instances with this command: “nboracmd list instances”, it returns this: “A web login is required. Run the 'bpnbat' command to login.”. I wasn't familiar with this command (bpnbat) and to my surprise, it dates back to a few versions of NB and we've never needed to use this. My question.... am I obliged to use this command (bpnbat) or is there a way around this? If there's no way, will I have to add the “bpnbat” command to all my scripts with a response file that will contain a clear text password? I'm trying to find the logic to this... Veritas wants to secure certain commands but the possibility of automating this is to have a file containing a logon and pwd in clear text. If I'm wrong, please let me know!!! I'd like to migrate my scripts with as little impact as possible Sorry for my english !!!
