Hello,
our NBU environment is made of master and media servers with NBU 7.5.0.7 on Windows 2008
we backup a sharepoint 2007 farm made of Windows 2003 R2 enterprise x64 servers
with NBU 7.5.0.7 on all servers :
fr0-ccsidx-p01 index
fr0-ccs-v01 and fr0-ccs-v02 frontend
fr0-ccssql-v01 fr0-ccssql-v02 and fr0-ccssql-v03 backend
ccssql-v01 and ccssql-v02 are Microsoft clustered.The first node runs SQL Instance named CONT and the second one runs SQL Instance named SEAR
The third one is a passive node
Netbackup is not running as a cluster on these nodes. the agent is stand-alone installed on each node.
All prereq including NFS enabled are ok for GRT backups
We have issues with backup some webapplications with GRT enabled on the SEAR instance.Backups on the other instance are ok.
Failed backups end with status code 72 the client type is incorrect in the configuraton database
backup and file-level restores for contents of the CONT instance have been tested successfully on one content
bpfis on 2nd node backend server :

Thank you Sri
The detailed status code 72 in this technote is not exactly the same one I get when I try to backup contents on the SEAR instance
However, what I've noticed is that for both CONT and SEAR instances, when backup jobs run, one backup job is related to fr0-ccsidx-p01 (the index server), and the other backup job is either related to FR0-CCSQLVCONTE (which is fr0-ccssql-v01) when backing up CONT instance or related to FR0-CCSQLVSEAR (which is fr0-ccssql-v02) when backing up SEAR instance.
As the client added to the policy is fr0-ccsidx-v01, how would I have to add FR0-CCSQLVCONTE and FR0-CCSQLVSEAR and edit these clients properties to specify the Sharepoint account ?
This sharepoint account is already set for all servers of the farm, and is correct as far as I can see

Granular Restore Info: yes
HW/OS/Client: Windows-x64 Windows2003 fr0-ccsidx-v01
W2003 is unfortunately not supported for GRT backups.

Marianne,
Our Sharepoint servers are Windows 2003 R2 servers that as far as I understand from the compatibility guide are supported :
"SharePoint Granular Recovery
All of the configurations noted below are supported for SharePoint Server Granular Recovery. For Information on the media server platforms that are supported for
Granular Recovery Technology (GRT) reference the NetBackup Enterprise Server and Server 7.x OS Software Compatibility List."
Pages 23 and 24, for Sharepoint 2007 and Windows 2003 R2 servers, there is no note that tells GRT is not supported (seems to be supported on R2, not on W2003)
I can make some restores (tried again this morning with documents and lists) on one instance, but I can't figure out why on the other instance GRT restore does not work. Properties of both instances were compared to, there is no difference between them
