Exchange 2010 GRT Backups Failing GRT Recovery
Hi All, I have a strange issue regarding our MS Exchange backups when it comes to the Granular processing on a certain storage type. To start off we are running: NB Master: AIX 6.1 with Netbackup 7.7.2 NB Media : 3 x AIX 6.1 with Netbackup 7.7.2 (Not used for Exchange backups) 3 x MS Windows 2012 R2withNetbackup 7.7.2 OST Pluginfor all media Servers is 3.1.5 Storage Units: 1 x MSDP Pure disk Volume (GRT Backups work when going here) 1 x HP StoreOnce 6500 running software 3.13 and using Catalyst Stores (GRT Backups fail on this storage unit) To cut a long story short, we want to move the storatge unit our exchange backups go to from the MSDP to the Open Storage platform. The backup seems to fail on the GRT segment of the backup on the Open Storage, the databasebacks upfine. As far as i can see the compatibility lists state that our StoreOnce should be on software version 3.1 and Netbackup on 7.6 or above which we meet. The detailed Status Log when backup up to MSDB says: (No error just to reiterate) 12/15/2016 12:47:02 - Info bpbrm (pid=7944) DB_BACKUP_STATUS is 0 12/15/2016 12:48:01 - Info bpbrm (pid=7944) from client server-dag-01.domain.com: TRV - Starting granular backup processing for (/Microsoft Exchange Database Availability Groups/server-dag-01\Microsoft Information Store:\server-MBX-DB2\).

We are just dropping the menu down and selecting a different Storage unit. To help with our investigation we have locked this test down to just 1 of our 6 media servers. Any help on this issue is greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Leth
Netbackup DFSR backup very slow
Hello, we recently deployed netback 7.7.3 on windows 2012. we have a Data domain storage. Everything is configured by following the veritas and emc guides. eveything is superb except when it comes to DFSR folders. After some reading we understood "Use Journal" is not supported with dfsr. we understood we should add the backup select like Shadow Copy Components:\User Data\Distributed File System Replication\DfsrReplicatedFolders\LosAngeles Shadow Copy Components:\User Data\Distributed File System Replication\DfsrReplicatedFolders\NewYork Shadow Copy Components:\User Data\Distributed File System Replication\DfsrReplicatedFolders\Denver we have a 2 TB of data and the backup durations of full and incrimental backup are not ecceptable. I read a lot of posts from people complaining from the same issue when backing up the shadow copy components bot none was helpful. i think i missed something. your help will be much appreciated. let me know if i should provide more info.
Netbackup performance issues
Hi Experts, I'm facing performance issues in my backup env. I tried to go through with tuning guides but it didn't help much. my env. netbackup master/media server version 7.7.3 1 master server [virtual machine] OS :windows 2008 standard R2 3 media servers [Dell R510, Dell 720] including 8 drives [Dell tl400] OS windows 2012 I've seen that VM backups are really slow and takes a long time to complete which always delayed the duplication [destaging to tape drive and DR site]. all clients are behind firewall, which means data pass through firewall -ofc it slow down the whole process. I am looking for some suggestions if i can improve the performance , might to implement backup vlan's or any other idea's. Thanks, dpxfailed BMR
