Netbackup Catalog backup growing
Hi, in our environment we have a primary server with a catalog backup stabilized about 650Gb size with 2 week retention. By few days it's growing and backup passed from 650GB to 930Gb and now to 1,1Tb by day. No particular actions performed on primary server, on the contrary we dismissed some client. How can i check, why the catalog backup growing up very fast in last days? Any suggestion is very appreciated.

Hello, Recently I have installed a new Quantum Scalar i3 tape library with one robot, 3 drives, and 50 slots, I have attached the library configuration images, the problem is when I want to "Define New Storage Devices", Netbackup finds the robot and the drives under it but I am unable to select them and I get this error : The following robot(s) are enabled but do not have enabled drives configured. I have tried different drive topology connections (loop preferred, point to point, loop, and point preferred ).Solved6.4KViews0likes20CommentsIs there a way to backup the OS through NetBackup?
I am curious if it is possible to back up the OS using only netbackup software without using bmr or vsr. There are system state and shadow copy components in the backup selection, and I am wondering if it is possible to backup and restore the server OS through these. If you know any ideas or technote addresses, please let me know.12Views0likes2CommentsHow can I reinstall just the java/jre packages for NB 8.3.0.2?
Hello, While performing a mass removal of NB java and jre packages on Linux NB clients, they were inadvertently removed for a NB primary server. I'm wondering if there is a way to extract these from the install tar file, and just re-install the 2 packages on the primary server. I would have thought that only access to java gui would be affected, but it looks like the catalog backup is also failing.

hi Guys, kindly educate me - At one of remote site our NBU server was short circuit. Rebuild done after 6 months and handover to backup guys on friday(27sept). We need to install NBU on it, it had tape backups with KMS encryption (i had documentation available). In 2019 -- NBU 8.1 was installed on window OS (hardware) + HP tape TL, KMS was configured( this encryption feature is free) then in year 2020 we upgraded NBU to 8.3.1. Cut to 27sept 2024 - i have to reinstall NBU - rebuild KMS and try to restore finance data. What NBU version should be installed --- 8.1 or 8.3.1 -- kindly educate me.

does anyone know where to get the Veritas IO filter vSphere Installation Bundle to install it on the vcenter and esxi hosts to configure CDP ? or is it a bundle I get from vmware ? as I am stuck in the prerequisites steps: Before using a Continuous Data Protection enabled protection plan, complete these prerequisites. Ensure that the Veritas IO filter vSphere Installation Bundle (VIB) is installed on the ESXi host cluster. Requires to be done only once. Create a VM storage policy using IO filter, and attach the storage policy to each disk of the VM.SolvedAboualam3 days agoLevel 342Views0likes3Comments
