Problems recovering NetBackup Catalog from an old server ...
Hello everybody, I am trying to recover a NetBackup catalog from an old server and get the following error ... ERR - Failed to execute command C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\bprestore.exe -w -T -X -K -C OLDSERVER -t 35 -p DU10_CAT_02 -e 1635493171 -priority 90000 -L "C:\Program Files\Veritas\netbackup\logs\user_ops\NEWSERVER\Administrator\logs\jbpRestore-20220325140534.log" -f "C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\temp\bprecoverfilelist.tmp" on host NEWSERVER (5) The old server 'OLDSERVER' was running Windows Server 2012R2, the new server 'NEWSERVER' runs Windows Server 2016. OLDSERVER had NetBackup 8.2 installed, NEWSERVER has NetBackup 8.2 installed. Is it possible to recover the NetBackup catalog from OLDSERVER on a new server NEWSERVER, which runs a different Windows version, same NetBackup version, but has different name and IP address? If not, what must be the same and is it possible to recover the catalog and later import it into another server, which has a different name and IP address? Best regards, Didi7
DATA.db is not in the true image list. (Solved)
OMG, I was about to panic. :robotsurprised: After DR recovery of NetBackup Master, the policies, clients, and a few other things were visible but no items in the catalog! Google search found a few old threads but nothing was helping. Finally came across this technote which did the trick. https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.TECH48819 Pretty sure everything was matching between the old production and new DR server but somehow missed that. Whew!
