Netbackup and server refresh
Can you think of the best way how to deal with Netbackup when a server gets refreshed
The scenario
The Server in our remote office is getting refreshed to a server 2008 server. Currently this WAN server OldServer1 is backed up through Netbackup over the WAN using client dedupe and we want the new server NEwServer1 to be backed up in the same way . The new server will be having a new name .
Will the bacup be treated as a new server and a FULL compltee backup done over teh WAN ? How can we make used of the data in dedeupe pool and if possible reduce the time of the first backup ??
Whats methods are you guys emplying out there especailly for large file servers?
we are currenlty upgrading out environment from Netbackup 7.5 to 7.6 if that will also help
Thanks in advance guys
Yo do unserstand that NBU has no idea that OldServer1 and NEwServer1 are one and the same client, right?
If backup was done for OldServer1 but you now need to make NBU believe that NEwServer1 is the same machine, I believe that TECH144437 needs to be followed to prevent new, full backup.
