Netbackup 7.0.1 with Data Domain OST plugin

[Ashish_86]

We are using SLPs to replicate data backup images from one DD to another . While the duplication job is showing successful on the source and I can see space getting used up in the target , we are not able to see the source backup images in the target . Do we need to manually import the images on the target server  and how we should do that . We are using Netbackup 7.0.1 . Please suggest on the same . Thanks !!

If both storage servers (data domain devices) are in the same NBU domain then you should see the images. Where are you looking?

[Ashish_86]

I am looking on the target Netbackup Master server

[Nathan_Kippen]

Copy 1 = Local DD

Copy 2 = Remote DD

do a bpimagelist -l -backupid image_xxxxxxxxx and post results.

[Jryankee]

On NBU master, go to catalog and search for images by the specific storage server. You should have a image for copy 1 and copy 2. Can you confirm that the optimized duplication job was successful?

[Ashish_86]

Still cant see the duplicated images from teh source in the target . Please find the below output from the source server

D:\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>bpimagelist -l -backupid moh8025e_1313017201

Yeah the duplication job was successful and I can also see the copy 1 and copy 2 from the source netbackup master server . Can we see the images from the netbackup master server where the target DD is configured so that we can restore from the destination netbackup master

[Nathan_Kippen · Accepted solution]

No you cant.

What we do is copy the relevant catalog files from the source master server onto the target master server.  We then run a bpcatsync command on the destination master which tells it to search its known STUs for the specified backup image.

I'm actually working with VERITAS and Data Domain .... hopefully a future version of AIR (automatic image replication) will support OST.

[Ashish_86]

ok I guess netbackup 7.1 supports AIR and does automatically import the images on the destination master server . Is that true , as we are going to upgrade to 7.1 very soon

[Nathan_Kippen]

Yes... however the op-dup / ost stuff as of yet does not support AIR.

VERITAS says they're waiting on data domain to update the BOOST plugin.

[Ashish_86]

ok thanks for all your help ..appreciate it !!!
