Duplication of data to new STU
Hey guys, I have a question how to duplicate all backup images from one MSDP to another. We have one appliance where backups are goin via SLPs and now we want to add new appliance to our environment for duplication purposes. How can we easly duplicate all data? If we add duplication to SLP it will only duplicate new images right? We need to copy also old images as this is requirement from business. Br, Piotr
Netbackup schedule is not running for some of the servers
We have some servers that the backup won't run on the scheduled time according to the policy, but they can be run manually. I already tried the fix in below but it seems it doesn't work: https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100018741 Not sure is it related, for all these servers there is a failed job in the activity monitor which has a future start date. (see attached picture) Anyway, is there anyway I can reset all these schedules to fix it?
Restore Failure - 2850
Previously, I could queue a restore, have NBU suggest a tape, recall the tape from offsite, and complete the restore days later. Now, if the tape and a drive is not immediately available, the following occurs: Mar 31, 2025 10:15:22 AM - begin Restore Mar 31, 2025 10:15:22 AM - number of images required: 1 Mar 31, 2025 10:15:22 AM - media needed: 6081L9 Mar 31, 2025 10:15:22 AM - Info bprd (pid=937) Restoring from copy 2 of image created Sat Nov 2 00:02:09 2024 from policy PolicyA Mar 31, 2025 10:15:23 AM - restoring from image ServerA_1730530929 Mar 31, 2025 10:15:23 AM - Info bpbrm (pid=1030) ServerA is the host to restore to Mar 31, 2025 10:15:23 AM - Info bpbrm (pid=1030) telling media manager to start restore on client Mar 31, 2025 10:15:23 AM - Info bpbrm (pid=1030) spawning a brm child process Mar 31, 2025 10:15:23 AM - Info bpbrm (pid=1030) child pid: 1044 Mar 31, 2025 10:15:23 AM - connecting Mar 31, 2025 10:15:23 AM - requesting resource 6081L9 Mar 31, 2025 10:15:23 AM - awaiting resource 6081L9.

This is very consistent behavior. If the required media is available in the tape library and NBU is aware of it (inventoried robot) and a drive is free, the restore will complete. Running NBU 9.1.01 on a Veritas 5250 Appliance, connected to a SpectraLogic Stack LTO9. The tape library is newish, and we had some issues getting it working properly with NBU. These restore failures may be a side-effect of trouble-shooting with Veritas Support.NetBackup 11 is Here
