Malware 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! Marco

Muchas gracias, quedo atenta
Local account vs Service account for DNAS protection
Hi, I was interested to hear from the community as to if people tend to use local accounts or service accounts when it comes to configuring snapshot style protection for DNAS backups? Previously when we used ndmp we obviously had to use local accounts that were local to the storage array but we want to test moving away from NDMP to DNAS and as such it seems you can give it either local or domain based user so long as it has sufficient rights on the storage array. So what do people tend to use and for what reasons? Thanks in advance for any opinions/info
DR server for production master server.
We have netbackup 10.1 physical master server and we want to create a DR server for it. Can some one suggest how to create a DR physical server for our master server and it is also acting as media server too. can we restore the catalog using different server name or we need to keep the DR server name also same as production server. if same name should we bring down the prod and then do restore to bring up the DR and then shutdown DR. and use only for DR purpose and currently no backups are running in it and it is kept only for old legacy restores.
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?
