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.
Backup Host SSL issue in Flex Appliance
Hi Folks, We got a Flex Appliance in which we set up 1 Primary and 1 Media, as want to back up some Nutanix VMs through the Cluster. We decided to go with the MediaServer instance as our backup host. The issue is when trying to add the Nutanix Cluster through the NBU Web UI, below the displayed error : "Credential validation failed. Provide correct AHV credentials, ensure that the backup host has Linux/Windows OS, verify that the backup host can access the AHV cluster, or the external CA is configured correctly." After some troubleshooting, we found the "nb_nutanix-ahv.conf" in the Media instance with the parameter "enable_ssl_validations" which is enabled by default. When disabling it, the Cluster is added successfully. Enabling it back, the integration of the Cluster failed again. So, we confirmed that the issue is related to SSL certificate. We tried to set the SSL communication following the NBU documentation, but it did not work, maybe we missed something (Below doc link) : https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/doc/150073865-163074231-0/v147708883-163074231 Any idea how to fix this SSL issue with Nutanix ? Flex v 5.0 and NBU v 10.5. Regards.Netbackup WEBUI does not have "Schedule edit" & "VM based backup selection"
version = 10.5 I noticed following two points 1- Netbackup webui does not have an option to modify the schedule of existing Protection Plan 2- At Netbackup Java Console when we take VM based backup, we have an option to select VM display name or IP address. Selection of IP address is a good strategy so in case VM display name changed, we are still able to take backup. But I am not able to see this option in Netbackup web ui
