7.1.0.4 Working on a DR exercise this morning, and we had a client that would not connect to the Netbackup servers. Getting a "cannot connect on socket" error. Able to telnet to ports 13724 and 13782 from client to server, and from server to client. ...

On day 1, a data file is created. It is backed up by the daily incremental backup. On day 4, that same data file is compressed with gzip. It is SKIPPED by that night's incremental backup! The gzipped version of the file is not backed up until the wee...

For some reason, Netbackup lists dozens, maybe hundreds, of tapes as being in library slot 0, or being in the library but not in a slot. The tapes are definitely NOT in the library. They are all stored offsite, and verified to be at the offsite stora...

Yes, the tapes are fine in the library. Apparently it has been this way for months. Maybe since the beginning when we installed this library in 2010. The operator stumbled on to the problem completely by mistake. Everything has been working fine as-i...

It shows as a TLD library. The operators exchange tapes in the library every day, and they have a procedure to do it through Netbackup using the MAP. That does an automatic inventory.
