This doesn't make sense to me. bplist tells me files have been backed up, yet when I try to restore, I get failures on the restores. There must be some simple concept I'm missing here. netbackup 6.0 mp7 with ndmp option. The tape library is attached ...

The earlier post about what to do with ever larger catalog reminded me of a question I have had for some time. Is it possible to somehow divide and conquer a catalog? That is, install a new netbackup server and move/import a portion of the catalog ...

Hi, I have just updated my desktop system from Solaris SXCE build 101 to SXCE build 121. jnbSA and jbpSA no longer display properly. I just get an unusable box with no login windows. It doesn't matter whether I do a remote display from the server to...

Actally, I did say this: . netbackup 6.0 mp7 with ndmp option. The tape library is attached to a media server, not the master. I implied an emc celerra box when I gave the command line option -C $emccelerahostname So at any rate, it is an emc celerra...

Doesn't setting this tie up a tape drive for a long time? It seems to me that even the default value of 8 hours is way too long. With EMC ndmp, you only have 4 tape drives supported. It doesn't seem like a good idea to make a tape drive unavailabl...
