Joining Netbackup Media server to existing Master server (backup domain)
Recently we have been expanding our site, and one of the activity is to deploy a new NBU media server and join the the current Master server (backup domain). May I know after the installation of media server: Do I need to edit/ config anything on the current Master server (or Java GUI) How can I verify from the Media server that I have successfully joined to the Master server In case I have inputted wrongly media server hostname, how can I modify to the correct without re-install the media server? Is there any config file allows me to change the current hostname and which command should I use to restart the current Netbackup server for it to take affect?Solved40Views0likes5CommentsDuplication 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.

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?martinseto9 days agoLevel 223Views0likes1CommentRestore 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.nateholtz13 days agoLevel 253Views0likes3CommentsNetBackup 11 is Here

Hi Is there a command or report within NetBackup that can calculate the potential space saving on an MSDP storage unit if the retention for a set of backup images is reduced. I'm aware of the deduplication element of MSDP needing to retain the data segments until no images reference that segment before it can then be removed and the space reclaimed. So I guess what I'm asking is if there is a tool that could run a "what if..." scenario and could trawl through the MSDP databases to identify the segments that would no longer need to be retained and therefore the potential space savings in the event of a defined set of backup images being deleted. Hope that make sense :0) I think there answer is no but thought I'd ask..... :o)SolvedCadenL14 days agoLevel 646Views0likes2CommentsThe service user account does not have the write permissions on the specified path.(9202)
