NFS mount point on NetBackup 5230 Appliance
Hi Team, Please I need your expert advise on this solution: Customer has proposed implementing backup solution via NFS; this solution is based on having the centralized server IPs & file path where to send the backups to. We currently have Symantec NetBackup 5230 Appliance installed in this customer datacenter. Question: Will NetBackup 5230 Appliance support mount points from network file systems (NFS). This will enable customer backup their network file system data to the central storage location, which is on the NBU appliance. Thanks in advance, FelixSolved6.5KViews1like11Comments

Hi everyone, One of our Netbackup Appliances has too many files (total of 1261936) in the /tmp folder. Some are over 1 GB in size.

Hi Support, Kindly advice me because I'm a bit confused. I am about to configure AIR between two NetBackup domains, domainA has 1xNBU5230 plus 1x5030 disk shelf, anddomainBhas 1xNBU5230 plus 1x5030 disk shelf. Also both NetBackup domain will be backing up clients seperately, however customer still wants image-data replicated to the target or secondary domain. My question is how can I then configure AIR btw these domains, since each NBU domain isbacking upclients data tothe MSDP pool which is suppose to be used for AIR configuration.

5230 Appliance hangs after the tape out process
Hi, Our of the customer has a 5230 appliance it has a serious performance problem.they are performing tape out operation for weekly full backups. and they perform that tape out process with a slp windows which is running 8 am to 5pm. their mostly tape out process happening on monday and their monday schedule backups affected badly. for example one of the vm clients backup working with a 300 mb/s ( acc enable ) when there is no performance problem, but after the tape out process same client backups working with a 20 mb/s. we are rebooting appliance and then restart affected clients backup after the reboot, its working nearly 250 or 300 mb/s. without the bandwidth the snapshot creation process takes nearly 18mins when the appliance has a bad performance. after the reboot same snapshot process takes 2 mins.Solved1.8KViews0likes6CommentsNB7.6.0.3 restore to different location issue

Replication AIR Limitation
Hello I have a Netbackup Appliance 5220 and recently configured the AIR to transfer from my master to another, which is located in my office. I have several backup jobs Oracle, VMware and File Server, the window is well programmed and configured to meet the amount of backups during the day. I have configured on my PureDisk 50 concurrents Jobs and my Disk Pool 50 volume set of this in my 30. All my backups are stored on disk by 100% solution from Symantec. Today I have a limitation on my L2L Link to 35Mb to use replication (AIR). In my case, I can limit the bandwidth for my Firewall and also reading some documents also managed by pd.conf file to work with a certain speed per channel in OPTDUP_BANDWIDTH parameter. Unfortunately I could not get a perfect fit. My problem that is occurring now is that my work replication begins to grow, just using available channels and my backup queue starts to get affected and slow to get work backups. I wonder if there is any parameter in the Appliance that can determine the amount of Jobs that will work in the transfer without use of the available channels for backup. For example. wanted to make transferring a maximum of 10 channels and the rest to use for backup. If anyone can help me and tell where I can do this to solve my problem once, thank you.
