Hi All,
I have tried to search for this particular behaviour of Netbackup to no avail so posting this and any help will be much appreciated.
Windows 2003 environment
Netbackup v6 MP4
Firstly, backup to tape is always successful without any errors.
However, i have problems in restoring sql data.
SQL restores are set up so that .mdf ,.ndf and log files are first copied onto a spare server, databases attached over there, files retrieved and then updated on the live server.
I choose 'restore files and folders to a different location (double click to modify)' and have a network drive mapped to the spare server.
Error bptm(pid=3496) block read is not a NetBackup or Backup Exec media header, len = 65536, media id xxxx, drive index 3, data is unknown
29/09/2009 10:23:33 - Error bpbrm(pid=4188) from client AAAA: UTF - <path>.ndf
29/09/2009 10:23:38 - restored image xxx_xxx - (cannot read media header, may not be NetBackup media or is corrupted(172)); restore time 00:01:47
29/09/2009 10:23:40 - Warning bprd(pid=5544) Restore must be resumed prior to first image expiration on <date>
29/09/2009 10:23:42 - end Restore; elapsed time: 00:01:59
the restore failed to recover the requested files(5)
Many thanks
