Netbackup 7.5 for VMware and DB2 backup.
Hi Guys.... After long time I am creating this thread in NBU forum........... We have the following:- 1. IBM Lotus 8.5 on RHEL 5 (64bit). 2. IBM Content Manager using DB2 9.7 on RHEL 5 (64 bit) used for Lotus Mail Archive. Websphare is used in this software bundle. 3. Two IBM TSM server(In VM ) were used to take Lotus mail backup and DB2 backup respectively. 4. VMware server. 5. A DELL storage server is used for all the VM (VMware datastore) and its in HA mode. Current situation:- 1. There is a IBM TSM (In a VM) taking backup of Lotus mail on to disk. (Disk Based backup). 2. Another IBM TSM (In VM) taking the DB2 backup (Lotus Archive Mail). Now, we were planning to take DB2, Lotus Mail and VMs backup using NBU 7.5. My query:- 1. Can we replace both IBM TSM backup server which was used for taking Lotus mail and DB2 backup. 2. I am not sure that the NBU 7.5 can be used to take DB2 backup and is this DB2 backup will have the entire archive mail. In other word does DB2 backup will backup the Archive mail done by "IBM Content Manager". 3. Is there any restoration issue of this DB2 (Archive mail) on to the IBM Content Manager. What are the pros and cons of replacement of IBM TSM, as this came bundled with IBM Content Manager. Any best practice for this.... Thanks.Setting up Optimized DeDuplication.
Good morning, We are in the process of configuring optimised deduplication on on Backup Exec 2012 servers. We have 1 CA Server and 1 Media Server. They each have a connected SAN disk, we have a Dell Equallogic SAN, located on each site and replicated. I am trying to setup the 'Optimised DeDuplication' We currently bacup using the Media Server to the DeDuplication Disk folder (located on the San) - The goal is to have the location of the data (the disk backups) replicated on both sites and accessible by both servers. Any pointers of helpers to get me on my way? Lee
How to test an Export job
Hello All, I have the following small annoying issue. I have created last month some simple backup jobs (backup from disk to tape), that at the end of the verify exports the tape into the I/O slot of our DELL TL2000. Since a day or two, the backup runs fine, but the export does not occur: Tape is still in the magazine slot and the status of the export job is Ready; invalid Storage device. Strange because this exporting went well before. The only thing that has changed is the location of the tape library which has been moved to the rack. I am pretty sure that all the cables has been connected as before (this time I was a cable labeling freak when i moved the hardware). So in short: backup runs fine; tape is not exported at the end. This is what i have done so far: I have modified the job once and removed the export "thingy" from the job. Saved the job. Then I modified it again, put again the export in. The export job number is now 0009 (before it was 0004). (I have some monthly and weekly jobs too that do the same) I restarted the tape library and the services. I hope it will runs fine tonight, but i want to know now if it will goes wel, so I amtrying to test the exporting. But i cannot determin the right testing procedure. Using the webinterface of the of the TL2000 - ihaveput a tape in the drive (the right drive - I checked the serial number ) but i cannot seem to let BE2012 recognize that there is a media in the drive (inventory does not do the trick). And i think it is pointless to start an export if there is no tape in to drive ? Is it possibleinBE2012 to just put a media in the drive, without doing anything else with it ? So that i can start my export job and see how it runs ? I hope anyone can shed some light and help me think of a way to test may export job and solve my problem. Thank you Kind Regards Els M
Backup/Restore Dell Optiplex 390
I created a backup of my Dell Optiplex 390 and there are 3 total files. A Dell File, A Recovery File, and the C Drive. When I boot into the SSR 2011 I am clicking Backup Recovery then clicking next and I am loading the files in this order. (I am deleting the c drive partition before laying down the images) 1.Dell File 2.C Drive 3.System Recovery (making it bootable option checked) Am I doing this wrong? Does anyone know the correct order to lay down the images, and what options I need to have checked when doing a recovery on this machine? So far I have gotten a missing boot file error then telling me to ctrl+alt+delete+, The error I have gotten the most is a black screen with a blinking cursor...... I am stumped on what options may need to be checked within the 3 different files and which order to lay them down. Any and all support is much appreciated, if you need more details please let me know what you need. Thanks, Joshua
