Hi All, I'm running netbackup 7.1 We have a TL4000 tape dual drive. I have some tapes that sit in a 12 month archive, yet, they may not be touched for several months. I'd like to setup a job to either: a) automatically, periodically, transfer that d...

Hi, I'm practising our Disaster-recovery, and have hit a small snag. We have a backup job that runs over 2 tapes, creating 2 fragments. When I come to restore the Phase 2 import of the second fragment (tape 2), the phase 2 import tells me theres not...

Hi, My setup: Netbackup 7.1, a Dell LTO4 2 drive robot. I'm practising restores of data, and I've noticed that NB seems to be unmounting, and then re-mounting the same tape over and over, rather than realising that the next bit of data needed is o...

Hi, Does anyone know of a tool that can analyse the Catalog and/or the reports, and turn that into something that can give a longer-term history of Data growth per policy ? I'm thinking of something that picks up the time-taken and image-size values,...

Hi Mark, I'm not so sure this is whats happening now. I've tried reloading tape ubi009 again, and disabled one drive. In the job log I still say its waiting for media.. then mounting media etc, and in bptm theres still lines like: 10:06:14.686 [...

Hi Mark, Thanks for the info. I'm running more tests next week so I'll try that trick. I'd call that ineffecient usage there though. I mean its all one job thats being run, not seperate jobs so it should know its going to re-use the same tape. Having...

Here you go. I've masked out the domain name, but otherwise untouched. The phase 2 restore took nearly 8 hours, starting at 09:30 and finishing at 17:19 This is the whole days logs though. From what I saw on the TL4000 web gui, it does eject the tap...

Hi, and thanks for the quick response. Ok so the host properties (I've one server) are set to 180s. I was actually watching the tape drive web gui as it ran and it does look like its unmounting (I see the Unloading, then a few seconds later 'Loadin...
