Dear Experts, We have two Netbackup domains with the following specification: Domain one: Master server OS: RHEL 8.10 Master server NBU version : 9.1.0.1 Media servers: Two NBU appliances , model 5340, version 4.1.0.1 Domain two specifications: Master server OS : RHEL 7.9 Master server NBU version: 8.2 Media servers: 2 Netbackup appliances, model 5240, nbu version 8.2 Problem statement: we need to decomission Domain two, but the images on domain two having 10 years retention. Query: Can we migrate these LTR images from Domain two to domain one? as there are difference in versions... If yes, what would be the best method for migration? via replication or duplication? If any restore request comes in the future, will we be able to restore from domain one? Please provide guidance on the process and any consideration we need to take into accountSolvedKak4_1218 hours agoLevel 4124Views0likes7CommentsBackup images migration between domains
I am currently working on a project including two distinct domains, each with its own Netbackup applianc eserving as a media server. Here is a brief overview: Domain 1: Master server :BYO, OS version RHEL 8.10 NBU version : 10.3.0.1 Media server: Netbackup appliance, mode 5340. Version 10.3.0.1 Domain 2: Master server : BYO, OS version RHEL 7.9 NBU version : 8.2 Media server: NBU appliance, NBU version 8.2 we are planning to decommission domain 2 . However, the domain 2 appliance holds LTR images( 10 years) that we need to migrate before proceeding with the decommission. i would like to explore potential image migration options and need your guidance Direct appliance to appliance migration across domains: Is it feasible to directly migrate images from appliance in domain 2 the appliance in domain 1, given that they are in different domain and running different Netbackup version and are different appliance model? Replication option across domains for existing backup images: Is it possible to replicate the existing images from domain 2 to domain 1? if Replication is a viable approach, could you please share the steps or process required to setup and execute this replication. Considering Difference in Netbackup version and appliance models.Kak4_1219 hours agoLevel 412Views0likes0CommentsNB 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 !!!laguns9723 hours agoLevel 442Views1like4CommentsUnable to add MSDP storage server to replication target in a different domain

The latest version of NetBackup adds malware scanning for cloud object store backups. It does this through the Cloud-Object-Store (COS) image type selection option. All of the common COS providers are supported through this image type. Recovery time scans of COS resources are also possible. That means during DR events cloud object backups can be scanned before restoration to ensure the restored data does not contain malicious code/malware. Enabling this feature is as simple as upgrading to version 10.5+. No unique installation steps are required for this feature. Malware scan host hardware requirements have also not changed from previous versions. Malware scanner installation is covered in the NetBackup Security & Encryption Guide. Please refer to the Veritas NetBackup Software Compatibility List for all supported scan host operating system configurations. Malware scan host(s) must be deployed and configured using the NetBackup Web UI. No changes are required to existing (pre-upgrade) malware scan host configuration settings for the COS feature. Please refer to the Malware Detection section of the NetBackup 10.5 NetBackup Security & Encryption Guide for more scan host deployment details. The workflow to configure and activate malware scanning is also the same as before. No changes to malware scanning architecture and workflow are part of this new feature. If you’re not familiar with the malware scanning workflow it’s documented in the Malware Detection section of the NetBackup 10.5 Security & Encryption Guide as well. The COS feature adds the following new functionalities described in the sections below. On-Demand Cloud Object Backup Image Scans A COS workload administrator with required permissions can scan these types of images. Images to be scanned can now be searched for and found as the Cloud-Object-Store type of backup images. Shown below in the “Malware detection” section of the WebUI is the start of a COS image search. All policy types are selected (instead of a policy name) so the search will return a list of all COS images. Specific COS policies can be selected as well. COS images for specific client(s) can also be searched for and selected as shown here. Recovery Time (DR) Cloud Object Backup Image Scans During a COS image recovery scan, user-selected files and folders for the recovery will be scanned before the image(s) are recovered. No data will be written to the target until the scan is completed. Administrators performing such scans must also have “Restore form malware infected images” RBAC permissions, even if no infected restores are to be performed. When the “Scan for malware before recovery” option is selected, two malware scan and recovery options are available as shown below: If any files are infected with malware, do not perform the recovery job If any files are infected with malware, recover all files, including infected files Recovery Check for Previously Scanned Images Alerts for infected images and warnings for unscanned images are shown during the recovery workflow for COS policy protected data. Relevant messages appear clearly in the WebUI if a potentially unsafe condition exists with the restore job before it starts. You’ll always know if COS data selected for restore has been previously scanned and found safe as shown in this example: It’s very important to note an administrator’s permissions play a key role in COS recoveries. A “clean file only” recovery option is not supported for COS. All COS objects selected for recovery, whether infected or not, are restored in a COS recovery if the administrator has permission to recover infected files as shown below. With such permissions, the “Allow recovery of files infected by malware” recovery option becomes the default selection. The administrator cannot change this option in the recovery workflow. The proper administrator login, either with or without infected file restoration permissions must be used during COS recoveries accordingly. COS backup image malware scanning either before or during restores is a powerful tool to identify existing malware infections. Through login permissions and selectable options administrators can control how and when this scanning is implemented. They can also control whether infected files are restored.9Views0likes0CommentsNutanix backup with NBU
Hi All, First time performing an integration of a Nutanix cluster to NBU and was wondering how does it work ? In other backup vendors, you have to install a VM inside the cluster to work as a proxy, which then mounts the VM Disks to be backed up and sends the backup data to MediaServer equivalent. In NBU documentation, I see that you need a "Backup Host" but it is not specified if it has to be implemented inside the cluster. If not, how the backup process works ? How VMs disks are mounted ? An overall architecture on how it works would be nice. Also, what has to be configured in the Netbackup Web UI ? Other vendors tend to use PRISM Central, while in NBU doc I see that you have to connect to the Nutanix Cluster (No mention of PRISM). Thanks in advance for any guidance provided.SolvedBackupExecAdmin2 days agoLevel 350Views0likes4CommentsCan't Install Client V10.4.0.1 - ORACLE LINUX 8
