Netbackup service auto start on OS X 10.10.x
Hello, I have installed NetBackup 7.6.1 agent (with 7.6.1.1 update) in several OS X 10.10.x systems and it seems to work, except for one problem. It does not start automaticaly after a client reboot. I searched for a solution for this problem and found this post from 15/April/2015 (https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/netbackup-service-auto-start-os-x-1010). I am running NetBackup 7.6.1.1 and I can install the client on a Mac OS X 10.10.3 and 10.10.4. After the client installation I am able to run a backup. As soon as the client reboots, the NetBackup agent does not start automaticaly. If I go to "/Library/StartupItems/netbackup/" and run "./netbackup start" on a terminal window with root privileges, then the agent start and I can perform backups again. Also works with a "sudo /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bp.start_all". How can I define the NetBackup agents to run automaticaly os OS X 10.10.x ?? I have already checked the folders and files: Macintosh OSX /Library/StartupItems/netbackup/Resources/netbackup /Library/StartupItems/netbackup/StartupParameters.plist /Library/StartupItems/netbackup/netbackup How can I know that the "StartupParameters.plist" is correct?

Please be aware that there are serious data loss issues ongoing with Mac OSX Maverics and Western Digital drive sofware. Both the Apple support and WD forums have mutiple customer reports of total external drive data loss. The data loss is not limited to systems activly using the WD software and drives, other vendor external hard drives are being lost. Personally I just lost 1TB of Time machine backups on a Iomega external drive. I did have a WD myBook for a while about 2 years ago but was not aware the WD drive software was still active on this machine. Current advice from Western Digital is to uninstall the WD drive software before going to Mavericks. Uninstaller is here ..... http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=126&sid=214&lang=en This situation as already caused a lot of digital pain, loss of data and as a techincal person makes me sad in so many ways.

Hi, I am using Mac OS X 10.6 for a file server and we are considering a backup solution for it. Does anyone know whether NetBackup 7.5 support a client side deduplication option for Apple Mac OS X? If it support, anyone know what would be possible deduplication ratio for normal design related files? Any information about Mac OS X client option would be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Sorry for the desperate tone… We have a competitive situation (Comvault) that comes down to specific Mac OS X support in NBU We have pretty much ruled out direct support for FileVault (Mac Encryption) and are now hoping to address the basic question "Can NBU backup hidden files in the following Mac OSs OS versions 10.4 – about 80 10.5 – about 200 10.6 – about 140Solved613Views0likes1Comment
