MSDP 2 MSDP duplication
I am participating in a project where I have to free up a MSDP storage server (running on NBA 5350). Backup images which are stored on this MSDP are duplicated (optimized duplication) to other NBA, within the same NBU domain, this time 5240. Both appliances are running 5.3.0.1 SP1 MR2, and have the same patch installed: NBAPP_EEB_ET4145974-5.3.0.1-6.x86_64. After initially seeding this target appliance 5240 with few days of backups, I cut over the backups directed to 5350 and repointed these to 5240 - played around with the SLPs. The problem that was faced is that source MSDP on 5350 was occupied ca. 120 TB. Now after a week after backups are cut off and not having all backup images being duplicated to target 5240 MSDP, that target pool is occupied in 174 TB. We are running out of disk space on target MSDP, no one knows why we see such an increase in the disk occupancy. IMHO target MSDP should not occupy more than - let's say - 130 TB. Do you have any idea as to why we see such discrepancy from our anticipation and real world?
DR file package to NAS Share
Hello We are trying to configure a Catalog backup, but we are facing a problem with the path to transfer the DR package file. We have configured a share on a NAS (QNAP) with a user /password, but configuring directly in the policy we have the following error: In the documentarion states the following procedure: But we have the following error: We are very confusing about this, please your comments. RegardsNBU security questions
Hello, We have a question, if any expert can give us their opinion: Is there any advantage to using an ECA (external certified authority) or NBCA (NetBackup Certified authority), are both methods safe? Pros and cons? And the second issue about encryption, if we have a Flex Appliances, where we can enable encryption at the WORM Storage Server level, is there any need to manage the encryption keys with a KMS, or with an external KMS? at this point we are a little confused In short, we do not know if the most practical thing is to let NBU automatically manage the certificates (NBCA) and at the data at rest encryption level in the same way. Because if the encryption keys are lost or are not managed correctly, then the data is unrecoverable. Thanks for your comments. Greetings
VRTSpbx logs consuming more space at client
Hello All, VRTSpbx logs consuming more space at client side on low verbosity. /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/vxlogcfg -l -p 50936 -o 103 Configuration settings for originator 103, of product 50,936... LogDirectory = /var/log/VRTSpbx/ DebugLevel = 1 DiagnosticLevel = 0 DynaReloadInSec = 0 LogToStdout = False LogToStderr = False LogToOslog = False RolloverMode = FileSize | LocalTime LogRecycle = True we just enabled this setting " keep logs upto 3 GB" will this setting restrict unified logs or legacy logs or both?
setup Malware Scanning
Hi I have some questions: inNetBackup Security and Encryption Guide doc said: For BYO setup, Instant access must be configured on MSDP storage server See the "Configuring Universal share" section in Veritas NetBackup Deduplication Guide 1- what's MSDP BYO? if MSDP server is windows, is it BYO? in Veritas NetBackup Deduplication Guide doc said: MSDP build-your-own (BYO) server prerequisites and hardware requirements to configure universal shares: The universal share feature is supported on an MSDP BYO storage server with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6 or later. The universal share feature is not supported on SUSE Linux. 2- if windos is BYO too, then how about Malware Scanning? is it possible or I should deploy Redhat MSDP??? I have a windows MSDP to backup vmware vms with accelerator feature and want to deploy Malware scanning Thanks in advanceData migration for LTR images of 3 clients
we are currently planning to migrate existing and future LTR images of 3 of our clients from Datadomain to Netbackup appliance. To facilitate these migration, i would appreciate your assistance with the following: Size check: could you please guide how to check the total size of LTR images for the last 7 years of all 3 clients Storage Requirement: Additionally, i would like to understand if the same amount of storage will be needed on the Netbackup appliance, or if additional space will be required due to any potential changes in storage efficiency or other factors
restoring file from linux source to windows target; is possible?
Hi people: We are using NBU 10.x on windows 2022 media/master server (both roles same server). Have a mix of windows and linux clients. We need to restore a file from /wrk/app/app-baks.tar to a windows server on e:\wrk\app. My co-worker running this restore tells me that NBU GUI is telling that restore path is invalid. Tried e:/wrk/app but don't work. And seems that isn't supported. Any idea to accomplish this task ? Maybe UNC or and NFS on the same server? Hope to being clear.
