LTO 2 - LTO 6 Tape Duplication

Good Morning,

 

I'm new to Netbackup, please bare with me :-)

 

Essentially I need to transfer legacy data from LTO 2 tapes that were created on Netbackup 6.0 and get these duplicated onto LTO 6.

From what I have read this can be achieved, however I'm experiencing problems and struggling to understand why this isn't working.

I have prepared a single Windows server and installed Netbackup 6 with both LTO 2 and LTO 6 tape libraries attached. The plan is to import all the LTO 2 tapes that were created on the legacy Netbackup 6 platform, and 'Duplicate' them.

In order to test this first I have performed a local backup and attempted to 'Duplicate' the tape onto LTO 6. However, when I initiate the process it just sits there, 'Queued'. The Activity Monitor says Requesting and Reserving Resource A00000.....

I appreciate that Netbackup 6 is no longer in support, however I no choice in the matter and need to use this version until this piece of is complete.

Thanks and Regards,

Steve

 

  • Are source and destination devices now both configured as hcart3?

    Problem in NBU is that the default for LTO3 are LTO6 are both hcart3.

    What does media, drive and STU config look like for new library and media?

    I don't see any reservation for 'new library' and a different media id used for the backup?

    Was A00001 used for the new backup?

    This will mean that there is no media available for the duplication.

    Please show Details tab of backup job - this will tell us what to expect for duplication.

    And add more media to LTO6 robot as per my previous post....

  • Both devices are configured as HCART3.

    I've stuck new barcode labels onto two new tapes and inventoried them in the LTO6 TLD: A00010 & A00011

    A00001 was used for the new backup this morning that completed successfully.
