Netbackup Catalog Restore to DR
Hi, I ma trying to perform a Netbackup catalog recovery from production win clustered master server to DR stand alone Netbackup server. Is that possible ? NBU Version : 10.4.0.1, OS : Win 2019 If it not possible, do i need to build same setup as prodution in DR site also with same hostname and domain name ?7Views0likes1CommentExtended retention for FULLs and Cycles
Hi Folks, Wanted to get some clarification regarding retention in NBU10: In NetBackup 10 through the WebUI, does it support extended retention for Full backups? For example, if I have a weekly Full backup schedule with a standard retention of 4 weeks, is there a way to configure NetBackup to keep the last successful Full backup for a longer period—say, 3 months—even after the regular 4-week retention expires? I'm looking for a way to automatically retain a longer-term Full without creating a separate backup schedule or policy manually. Is this possible in the WebUI or via another mechanism? Does NetBackup have a concept similar to Commvault's "Cycles" or IBM Spectrum Protect's "Versions" where the system ensures that at least one backup cycle is retained, even if backups fail to run for a certain period? This would help ensure that a backup cycle is always available and not expired due to missed jobs. Does NetBackup have such a feature or a similar mechanism to ensure this level of protection?

I have flex appliance 5260 2EA and each appliance has a storage shelf connected to it. I created a master/media server on appliance A and only configured a media server on appliance B and connected them to each other with a fiber cable. I created a storage unit with msdp and checked "Use any available media server" and "only use the following media server" among the options. I created msdp1 on media server A and msdp2 on media server B. I checked the "Use any available media server" option in the msdp1 storage unit settings and found that both A/B media servers work when backing up and the data goes to msdp1. Is it okay to use the use any media server setting like this? How do you use it in normal cases?Reddot14 days agoLevel 139Views0likes1Comment(69) invalid filelist specification

Hi I have Netbackup 10.5.0.1 on RHEL 8.10 my media server is msdp and cdp gateway with same version of netbackup and os I installed io-filter on esxis, vcenter is 8.0.3 and esxi is 7.0.3 I created vtstap storage policy, but it's incompatible with san datastores (vmfs 5 and 6) and compatible with local datastore I tried with 2 vm, one is stored on local and other in san attached these vm with vtstap storage policy and shows both of them are compliant in storage policy then I created a protection plan for these assets and attached cdp gateway, when finish it, it says for 2 vm: List of trusted Certificate Authorities could not be fetched operation failed for VM id ... of CDP host ...15Views0likes1CommentMalware Scanning Configuration | Windows Server
Dear all, I`m somewhat confused from the documentation about this and to this date, I was not able to get malware scanning working. Our environment: - Master+Media server windows 2019 (same physical machine, BYO device) - local storage for disk backups - Attached Tape Library for tape backups - NBU 11.0 Desired functionality: Backup to Disk -> Scan if certain anomaly score is detected (e.g. medium) -> stage to tape -> expire Image on disk As a first step, I wanted to setup malware scanning to scan images manually without luck. In some way, all routes seems to end up in a "you need Linux or an appliance" way. Unfortunately, I`m forced to use only windows machines at this moment. What I did: - setup MSDP for local storage (storage server, storage pool, storage disk) - created a 2nd VM as Scan Host (windows server 2022), deployed NBU malware scanner and poweshell script "setting up windows server as scan host" as described in the documentation + netbackup client - configured a scanpool using "Netbackup client communication", nbu scanner and SMB - created a SMB share on a random folder on master/storage server Where I struggle: Where/how do I configure the share on netbackup webUI? Is this even possible? My current understanding is, that "Universal Share" feature is needed, which is reserved for Linux. Is there a way to use Malware Scanning Feature on a fully windows server environment with BYO devices? Thank you in advance!

I just upgraded my server to 10.5.0.1 from 10.1.1. I downloaded and installed Linux clients to the master server. When I go to make a deployment policy so that I can push client software down to client hosts, the only versions that show as available are 8.2 and 10.1.1, how do I get 10.5.0.1 into that list?Solvedchriswilkes3320 days agoLevel 319Views0likes3Comments
