Upgrading Netbackup hardware. We have money to spend - any advice?
Hi to all, We currently have 1 x NB 6.5.4 (Win2003) Master Server with a SCSI attached Dell TLD containing 6 x LTO3 tape drives. Additionally we have 1 further media server (Win2003) which we use for disk backups (occasionally as it is extremely slow!). We also have 1 x NOM (Win2003) server and 1 x NB PureDisk 6.5.1.2 (PDOS) server which has 2TB of local disk space. We have noticed that since we introduced multiple copy backups and all 6 Tape devices are in use, the NB platform slows to a halt. We are going to try and spread the load around a bit more. Our thinking is that we buy a media server for each of the 3 LAN's that have servers that we backup (SQL DB and File/Folder backups mainly). Each of these new media servers would either have a lot of local disk storage or would use DAS hardware. We are keen to get more out of our PureDisk software and are considering beefing that up and making it a clustered environment to an offsite device. Quite simply, I have been asked to provide a design document and I wanted to ask if anyone had any reccomendations on how they think we should invest? Our largest backups are around 2TB and these happen on a weekly basis. We also send tapes offsite on a weekly basis for the critical backups so we are not keen on disk-only solutions. We are happy to upgrade to NB7.0 too if this has any relevance with regards to our forthcoming hardware purchase. Any advice greatly appreciated..... MartinNetbackup 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.

WIN32 errors - Netbackup 6.5
Recently we have had several of our backups finishing partially sucessful due to the following error on variuos drvies and clients. Error bpbrm (pid=3224) from client *****.**** : ERR - failure reading raw device: \\.\D: (WIN32 2: The system cannot find the file specified. ) Can anyone assist in troubleshooting this particular issue?Synthetic Full Backups miss after 4 weeks
Master/media servers are NBU Enterprise 6.5.4, on Dell PE2950 running Windows 2003 Server R2 X64. After several years of successful traditional Full/Cumulative backups, I have setup three policies with Synthetic Fulls. They all start off OK, and the Diff Incrementals are fine. But the weekly sequence for the Fulls is :- Trad OK, Synth OK, Synth OK, Synth OK, Synth OK, nothing! The Diff Incrs are unaffected, though - they carry on as intended. After 4 good Synth Fulls we see no warnings or errors, no bpsynth log, no bpsyn_ entries in bptm log - nothing. I have captured the nbpemreq -predictall output after the Friday Diff Incr just before the missing Synth, and it shows no entry for the Synth that's due - it has obviously forgotten about it - a scheduler problem perhaps. To get started again, I just have to run a Trad Full, then we get 4 weekends of Synth Fulls, then it stops again. All predictable and reproducible. Two affected policies are big fileshares (>1TB >2m files) on SAN storage attached to a cluster of Dell NX1950's; the third policy is >100GB >1m files on a typical Windows server. Apart from the number of files, no pattern there. Our retention policy is 1 month - maybe that's significant (last Trad Full image expires and disappears over the horizon) Anybody with experience or ideas about this? TIA
