I'm working with our serverbuild team to come up with a "silentclient.cmd" file for 7.1 with 7.1.0.2 patch, that doesn't install all the extra componants we will never use on our Windows Clients. Specifically, now do we keep it from installing the f...

I found some directories under /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/ for some old clients that no longer exist. When i try to search the catalog, they don't show as having any images associated with them. I look in the one or two image files left behind ...

Has anyone had issues with their SAN catalog backups going slow, and have a solution for it? We do Hot Catalog Backups inline to tape (off-site - copy 1) and disk (on-site - copy 2). We are now testing the restorability of the on-site SAN based copy...

Personally Iike the idea of a Daily Incremental, a Weekly Cumulative Incremental, and then a Monthly Synthetic Full. That way you do one full backup to start with, and after that the client never seens that same load again for backups.

I was just asked if NetBackup is capable of doing Desktop backups. I rememaber hearing about this option, so I said yes, but I'd need to look into it as I've never used it before. So for someone who's been doing NetBakup for many years, currently on...

This is why I created a wrapper script for use with control-m. This script can do almost anything you can dream of for you. - especially if you install Perl, python, or some other scripting language that's better then what comes with windows. Since w...
