Does anyone know why we can not perform synthetic catalog backups? I would like to be able to take a full backup to a remote VTL and then synthesize further fulls after taking differential backups to reduce the bandwith usage between the two sites. ...

There are a number of options out there for encryption key management these days (specifically for the hardware LTO4 encryption). Does anyone know if/when Veritas/netbackup is planning to offer built in key management? It seems like a logical thing...

Hi I just wanted to get a quick sanity check to make sure I've calculated everything right here. I've read up on the netbackup documentation for setting these values and think I understand how they should be set but wanted to see if these settings m...

Hi I have NB 6.0 MP4. Our media servers currently have a couple of Tb of disk storage in one large chunk attached that we use for staging our differential backups before copying them to tape. Currently we only use our disks to stage backups that are ...

Bringing an old thread back to life. I see there are a number of people on the board now using native LTO4 encryption and we're looking further into this at this point. As netbackup still doesn't have any key management built in what EKM are you gu...

It woulnd't necessarily, but it might. Since both DSTUs are on the same partition they would both show 85% utilization even though DiffDSTU doesn't have anything on it. Netbackup has a setting for "Check the capacity of disk storage units every x s...

Pruning is normally done by netbackup. When the disk reaches the high water mark it starts pruning old images until it gets the disk down to the low water mark. Consider this scenario:DiffDSTU has nothing on itFullDSTU has 85% of space usedHigh wat...
