NetBackup 7.5.0.6 (NetBackup 7.5 Maintenance Release 6) is now available!
(This is a crosspost from the Netting Out NetBackup blog) I'm very pleased to announce that the next Maintenance Release for NetBackup 7.5 is now available! NetBackup 7.5.0.6 is the sixth maintenance release for NetBackup 7.5. It is a cumulative release containing fixes and content from 7.5.0.1 through 7.5.0.5. In addition, this release contains almost 600 additional fixes (bringing the total fixes in 7.5.0.6 to over 1700!) including the most commonly downloaded EEBs, several customer escalations, and internal engineering defects. NetBackup 7.5.0.6 includes the following proliferations and enhancements: YES, Windows Server 2012/8 is now supported! db2 10.1 (snapshot support; streaming support was added in 7.5.0.5) Exchange 2013 Hyper-V 2012 SharePoint 2013 SAP HANA client support - see this blog post for more information To download 7.5.0.5, please visit the following page: NetBackup 7.5.0.6 Download Links http://symantec.com/docs/TECH204644 (link is fixed - sorry about that!) This is a MAINTENANCE Release for NetBackup (as opposed to a Release Update) - it can ONLY be applied on top of NetBackup 7.5. (If you are currently running 7.0, 7.0.1, 7.1, or 7.1.0.x, you will need to upgrade to 7.5 before you can apply 7.5.0.6.) Please note that maintenance releases are CUMULATIVE - that means that 7.5.0.6 contains all product fixes included in 7.5.0.1, 7.5.0.2, 7.5.0.3, 7.5.0.4 AND 7.5.0.5. If you are currently running NetBackup 7.5, you may apply the 7.5.0.6 maintenanace release without installing 7.5.0.1, 7.5.0.3, 7.5.0.4 or 7.5.0.5. In fact, if you are still running NetBackup 7.5, we would HIGHLY encourage applying 7.5.0.6! To check to see if your particular Etrack is resolved in NetBackup 7.5.0.6, please refer to these Release Notes: NetBackup 7.5.0.6 Release Notes http://symantec.com/docs/DOC6396 The NetBackup 7.5 Late Breaking News has also been updated to reflect newly released fixes in 7.5.0.6 for some of our highest visibility issues: NetBackup 7.5 Late Breaking News http://symantec.com/docs/TECH178334 --
Exchange Backup Failing 'file read failed(13)'
Our Netbackup 7.5.0.5 Exchange backups have started failing with 'file read failed(13)' errors. Both servers (Exchange and Netbackup) are running on Server 2008 R2. The mailstores (database & logs) are residing on a Netapp FAS2040 with SnapDrive managing snapshots which are created frequently without error. The Netbackup policy itself is set to perform snapshot backups using VSS Provider Type 1 (System), without a DAG database source, has been backing up without any problems until some Windows updates including SP3 for Exchange 2010 were installed. The job fails as follows: 28/11/2014 10:32:33 - Info nbjm(pid=5940) starting backup job (jobid=186119) for client exchange, policy EXCHANGE, schedule Full_Disc 28/11/2014 10:32:33 - estimated 0 Kbytes needed 28/11/2014 10:32:33 - Info nbjm(pid=5940) started backup (backupid=exchange_1417170753) job for client exchange, policy EXCHANGE, schedule Full_Disc on storage unit NexsanDSU 28/11/2014 10:32:34 - started process bpbrm (484288) 28/11/2014 10:32:40 - Info bpbrm(pid=484288) exchange is the host to backup data from 28/11/2014 10:32:40 - Info bpbrm(pid=484288) reading file list from client 28/11/2014 10:32:40 - connecting 28/11/2014 10:32:43 - Info bpbrm(pid=484288) starting bpbkar32 on client 28/11/2014 10:32:43 - connected; connect time: 00:00:03 28/11/2014 10:33:27 - Info bpbkar32(pid=11548) Backup started 28/11/2014 10:33:27 - Info bptm(pid=484816) start 28/11/2014 10:33:28 - Info bptm(pid=484816) using 262144 data buffer size 28/11/2014 10:33:28 - Info bptm(pid=484816) setting receive network buffer to 1049600 bytes 28/11/2014 10:33:28 - Info bptm(pid=484816) using 30 data buffers 28/11/2014 10:33:29 - Info bptm(pid=484816) start backup 28/11/2014 10:33:30 - Info bptm(pid=484816) backup child process is pid 482596.479660 28/11/2014 10:33:30 - Info bptm(pid=482596) start 28/11/2014 10:33:30 - begin writing 28/11/2014 11:07:53 - Error bpbrm(pid=484288) from client exchange: ERR - Terminating backup. 28/11/2014 11:07:53 - Error bpbrm(pid=484288) from client exchange: ERR - failure reading file: Microsoft Information Store:\1GB Limit Mailbox Database\Logs_1417170539 (BEDS 0x0: ) 28/11/2014 11:08:03 - Error bpbrm(pid=484288) could not send server status message 28/11/2014 11:08:04 - Error bpbrm(pid=484288) cannot send mail to ... 28/11/2014 11:08:05 - Info bpbkar32(pid=11548) done. status: 13: file read failed 28/11/2014 11:08:05 - end writing; write time: 00:34:35 file read failed(13) I have checked the VSS Writers on Exchange and all are showing as stable with no errors. The Event Viewer on Exchange shows the following events just before the Netbackup job fails: Log Name: Application Source: MSExchangeIS Date: 28/11/2014 11:06:35 Event ID: 9606 Task Category: Exchange VSS Writer Level: Information Keywords: Classic User: N/A Computer: exchange Description: Exchange VSS Writer (instance 8315289c-83fc-4e18-95c6-2f9e76f0f821) has prepared for backup successfully.

I appreciate this is probably an Exchange issue rather than a Netbackup one, but if anyone has an ideas as to why it is failing I'd be grateful for some help. I have attached some log files, let me know if there is any other information that may help. Thanks

Bad versions are : Oracle Java SE 1.7.0_221 / 1.8.0_211 / 1.11.0_3 / 1.12.0_1 Multiple Vulnerabilities (Apr 2019 CPU) (Unix) The Fixed version I am looking for is one : 1.7.0_221 / 1.8.0_211 / 1.11.0_3 / 1.12.0_1 Can you tell me if Version 8.0 or any of the newer ones has the fixed versions? If there is no EEB or way to update Java I will have to Upgrage from 7.7.3 ASAP. Or Is there a Hot Fix or EEB to update the Java Version in Netbackup 7.7.3
