Installing a New Media Server and Transferring the Media Server Role
Dear NetBackup experts, Through this thread, I would like to document the installation of a new media server into an existing NetBackup infrastructure. In this case, the Master server, which currently also functions as a media server, will remain in the infrastructure, but a new media server is going to be added to take over the media server role. Below is the procedure for installing media server software on a Linux server: https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/doc/27801100-155313967-0/id-SF890399007-155313967#v13834504 Could you recommend any additional articles or guides that describe how to transfer the media server role from the existing Master server to the new media server?

Netbackup 10.4 Malware Scanning Installation
Hi Team, We have a requirement to enable the malware scanning and anomaly detection features in the Netbackup environment. This is completely new setup.

This is first time we are installing this features, so need your advise on above query and advise what is the best practices for implementing this feature.
MSSQL transaction log backups
Hello, We have a customer who has a transactional backup scheme every 5 minutes for around 50 databases. This information is sent to a disk space and is backed up once a day to tape with another backup software. Today they have NetBackup and need the transactional log backup to be maintained every 5 minutes. According to what we have checked, NetBackup allows this, but we do not know if it is an adequate configuration. In the Activity Monitor it is full of tasks, the limits at the DiskPool and Storage Unit level are also met. We have several tasks queued, although the transactional logs are executed quickly and are released. Please give us your comments on this matter and if anyone with experience can tell us how this type of backup could be executed or if there are better recommendations, for example that the customer implements Log shipping and that NetBackup complements it with more spaced backups, for example every 4 hours. Thank you for your comments. Regards RafaelFailing backup job with error status code 49 - client did not start
