Hi,
Envrionemnt: NetBackup 7.5.0.4 on Solaris 10
Every week, I run an simple script to figure out which tapes are full and I export the full tapes to send offsite. However, sometimes the jobs run for a long time so it's possible that a long-runn...
Hi,
NetBackup 7.5 on Solaris.
We back up from data source to VTL and then it gets duplicated to tapes using SLP.
Scenario:
Prior to a duplication job starting, current tape status are:
Tape 1: has images from the previously successful duplicatio...
Hi,
I get periodic media errors which caused the tape drives to go down. How do I determine I should not use the media anymore? For example, I just got
Jul 13 12:36:17 buphost2 scsi: [ID 107833 kern.warning] WARNING: /pci@400/pci@0/pci@d/SUNW,ql...
Hi,
I am trying to understand the consequences of certain failure scenarios.
(1) I have to back up 3 volumes (vol1, vol2, vol3 in that order) via NDMP within the same policy which has weekly full on Saturday and daily incremental. Let's say d...
Hi,

> It logs that the file was backed up at completion of the full
I suppose you meant at the completion of the full backup of that particular file (not the end of the full backup job)?
I drilled down to the hours in my previous update because if the fi...
Thanks for the quick reply.
So let's say the full backup took 18 hours (2:00-20:00 on 1/2) and this particular file was backed up at 6:00 on 1/2. Does NetBackup actually compare the current mtime of the file with 6:00 1/2? It seems to be a lot of com...
Sazz,
thanks for the prompt reply but I am not sure what you meant by :
If you want to restore from your other copies to test then you have to prompt them to primary copy. This can be easily done from the catalog tab.
I searched around but am still...
Hi,
Thank you all for the help and it worked!
I really like Imashu's post because it's very clear step-by-step and included all possibilities. However, since Backup_Exec posted the link that helped first, I have to mark his as solution. I wish I can ...
