Replication target for Storage Server failed
Hello, i have a problem when adding replication target (AIR) for my msdp media storage server. Tried to re-add trusted master server from the other nbu domain (with re-issue token), it all went through successfully, but it didnt help. Still the same issue with storage server. Note: Target Primary and media server are the same , will be used only for replications to our second location. The error log from target master server - spad.log: January 23 10:40:40 ERR [000002AA4DA7CD90]: 25056: sslVerifyCallback: SSL Certification verification error 20: unable to get local issuer certificate(issuer = /CN=nbatd/OU=root@target-master/media-server/O=vx) January 23 10:40:40 ERR [000002AA4DA7CD90]: 25056: _sessionSSLKeySend: SSL initialization failed: could not accept client session[SSL error = 1, errno = 0] January 23 10:40:40 INFO [000002AA4DA7CD90]: nbuapi::SetCAUsageSyncFlag: set cause sync flag January 23 10:40:40 ERR [000002AA4DA7CD90]: 25056: Session start request from nbu-media01.cz.prod:43590 could not be honored (ssl initialization failed) January 23 10:40:40 INFO [000002AA4DA7CD90]: (unknown) Task 48 [thread 000002AA4DA7CD90] for source-media-server:43590 failed with unknown error. Seems like the important part there is: SSL Certification verification error 20: unable to get local issuer certificate and i dont know how to fix it... Could someone help me with any kind of solution or a workaround? Thanks in advance.
NetBackup VMware workloads vs Custom Attribute
Hey guys, I'm attempting to migrate my environments over to the Workloads/Protection plans, as that's needed for Nutanix, and i'd rather not point users to two different UI's depending on whats needed. For our VMware backups we use CustomAttributes to define the backup policies a VM might need to be in. Then we use the intelligent query policy to run each backup at night. This works well, and really lessens the load on the admin. However when trying to make the VMware workload and using the Intelligent VM query, it doesn't have Custom Attributes included at all. I'm on 10.5, so i know its not been added yet. The manual really only mentions CustomAttributes for excluding disks. Am i missing something, or has this just been missed?

Hi Guys, Hi, we have lost the Netbackup primary server which was installed on a Windows server, so next Saturday we will perform a disaster recovery procedure. This primary server was installed by default but after a while the images folder was moved from drive C to drive E. I´m trying to find documentation about this specific situation but is very confusing, I´m following article: https://www.veritas.com/content/support/en_US/doc/15179611-148872028-0/v95648579-148872028 in the article I see "Specify the default workgroup. Do not restore the domain", there is no information about rejoinig the new server to the domain. If I recover the catalog to the default location, is it going to work? The idea is recover everything to the C drive (default) and then move to drive E:Failed to recover catalog (83)
Hi Friends, I have issue to recover my Netbackup Catalog when restoring catalog using bprecover wizard. Short description/introduction of issue: One of my colleague apparently moving the /usr/openv directory to another directory within the server whereby the directory is SAN disk mount to the server. Reason due to root directory using local disk has run out of space. As such moving caused we unable to launch console. We try move back to original location but apparently it caused more damage. Later we try reinstall netbackup without choosing the DR option. Installation completed and boot from console success. Problem now when we try to restore catalog we got error : Failed to recover catalog (83) Below detail output: root@bkrhqpiitvbk02:/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd# ./bprecover -wizard Welcome to the NetBackup Catalog Recovery Wizard!

Dear fellows, We are still using a legacy Netbackup version 7.6 in Windows server. Recently we noticed failure of SLP replication to remote server. We did some research and tried to re-setup the trusted relationship between the two master servers. But with no luck. error message is below. I got a password error message if I use a wrong password. And the two servers have the same version. Did someone experience the same? and can share some thoughts. ThanksDecrease in volume backup
I am contacting you regarding a subject wich concerns a decrease in backed up volume of 20% for all client VMs since the upgrade of master and media from netbackup version 10.1.1 to 10.3.0.1 on 03/12/2024. The concerned environment only contains VMware backups (85 VMs), and 15 filer policies for which most of them there is no decrease observed. If I take the example of the VM X, before the upgrade, the full had a volume of 409GB, and after the upgrade, the volume decreased to 368GB, a decrease of 40GB was noted, for the same number of files and no client side modification was made. Another example, VM Y, before the upgrade the volume was 404GB, and after the upgrade it went to 364GB. Are you aware of this behavior for version 10.3.0.1 ? (no information in the release note) Is there a way to conduct an analysis for this topic ? especially since the 40GB drop is the same for all VMs. FYI: the upgrade from netbackup 10.1.1 to 10.3.0.1 was made just for the master and media, no modification for client servers. Master and media are under NBU 10.3.0.1 and RHEL 8.9
Backing up data using 2 tapes drives at the same time
Hello We are on NBU 10.0.0.1 - windows (one server as master/media). We have a backup job containing like 30TB of data. The data are MS SQL *.bak files. We want to put this to tape. On the backup policy what is the best way to utilize 2 tape drives. I dont think we want to send multiple streams to the same tape drive correct? So the data needing backed up is on the network and its laid out like this: \\xxx-xxxxx.com\xxx\xxx_Backups\FULL\xxx123\Prod1\ \\xxx-xxxxx.com\xxx\xxx_Backups\FULL\xxx123\Prod2\ \\xxx-xxxxx.com\xxx\xxx_Backups\FULL\xxx123\Prod3\ \\xxx-xxxxx.com\xxx\xxx_Backups\FULL\xxx123\Prod4\ \\xxx-xxxxx.com\xxx\xxx_Backups\FULL\xxx123\Prod5\ \\xxx-xxxxx.com\xxx\xxx_Backups\FULL\xxx123\Prod6\ \\xxx-xxxxx.com\xxx\xxx_Backups\FULL\xxx123\Prod7\ \\xxx-xxxxx.com\xxx\xxx_Backups\FULL\xxx123\Prod8\ I thought about splitting the 8 paths into two different policies - this I know will use two separate tape drives. What is the protocol or the correct attributes on a Netbackup policy (MS Windows) to set it up to use 2 tape drives instead creating 2 seperate policies?. If I just use one policy and have 2 streams going to one tape drive thats bad news for wear and tear on the tape drive correct? Is there a way to have a policy where their are multiple streams going to 2 different tape drives. Hopefully Im saying this correctly. BC
NBU client System requirements
Hello, I want to configure a FS backup in a windows client with a mount point configured. This mount point contains thousand of files and I want to use a client-side-deduplication. Does someone know where could I check the system requirements (CPU, RAM, disk) to have a good performance in the client? Thanks.
