What are the supported Disk Storage types for NetBackup Granular Restore Technology (GRT) backups?

The advantage is you can restore just a single piece of mail instead of the whole mailbox or database.

The downfall is you need a lot of storage since you can only back up to Disk.

Please reply back with the following from each server in the dag :


C:\> vssadmin list providers


C:\> vssadmin list writers

All should come back in a stable state.  Example :

Writer name: 'Microsoft Writer (Bootable State)'
Writer Id: {f2436e37-09f5-41af-9b2a-4ca2435dbfd5}
Writer Instance Id: {bf25043e-afce-43ee-8bcb-4a074496fc06}
State: [1] Stable

Writer name: 'MSDEWriter'
Writer Id: {f8544ac1-0611-4fa5-b04b-f7ee00b03277}
Writer Instance Id: {56b4ca59-b2b2-468c-b0f8-92e6f3193f13}
State: [1] Stable

Writer name: 'Microsoft Writer (Service State)'
Writer Id: {e38c2e3c-d4fb-4f4d-9550-fcafda8aae9a}
Writer Instance Id: {f1c8985f-c8ea-4826-90c6-b04ca78e5de6}
State: [1] Stable
 

If anythign is failed or waiting for completion , a quick fix would be to reboot the server to clear out the writer.  If not Micrsoft will need to be conacted.

Last is circular logging enabled ?

If circular logging is enabled, you will only be able to do FULLS.  Please see : http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH11310
 

The only common  reason for a 130 ( snapshot ) is unstable writers or multiple providers.

To verify the writers are stable by running following from a command line on each server in the dag :

C:\> vssadmin list providers

C:\> vssadmin list writers

All should come back in a stable state.  Example :

Writer name: 'Microsoft Writer (Bootable State)'
Writer Id: {f2436e37-09f5-41af-9b2a-4ca2435dbfd5}
Writer Instance Id: {bf25043e-afce-43ee-8bcb-4a074496fc06}
State: [1] Stable

Writer name: 'MSDEWriter'
Writer Id: {f8544ac1-0611-4fa5-b04b-f7ee00b03277}
Writer Instance Id: {56b4ca59-b2b2-468c-b0f8-92e6f3193f13}
State: [1] Stable

Writer name: 'Microsoft Writer (Service State)'
Writer Id: {e38c2e3c-d4fb-4f4d-9550-fcafda8aae9a}
Writer Instance Id: {f1c8985f-c8ea-4826-90c6-b04ca78e5de6}
