Netbackup exluding many folders form backup
Hello Team, Thanks in advance for all your help. I have Netbackup server and from it we are taking file server backup. During restoring of files, we found many files and folders are not backuped up with Netbackup. After analyzing, I found issue with NTFS permission. I have one Security groups which dont have access to that folders which I have used for backup. Now thing is I have many file servers and I dont have any details on which folder this group dont have permission. So looking for detailed backup report from Netbackup where files are folder are not included in backup due to permission issues. Please help on this. Regards, Yogesh Makwana
Auto Image Replication with Remote NDMP
Hello everyone I have a couple of questions regarding a new setup we are looking at in our environment. I've went through tons of manuals, web browsing, etc but I figured I would come here to ask the experts. We are firing up a new offsite location and we are looking at having a offsite location for our NetApp filer backups. Right now we use Remote NDMP to backup the netapp filer to a IBM SAS array (PureDisk) that is directly attached to one of the media servers. The new line we are using to connect the remote sites is only like 75Mb/s. What would be your guys'best recommendation to do this on the cheap as much as possible? I have did research and saw you can either do Auto Image Replication or us the Enhanced Duplication method? Looks like the Auto Image replication would involve a master server at the remote location and the Enhanced Duplication Method would just be a media server at the remote location that checks into the master server at our main location? If this is correct on how it works, it sounds like Auto Image Replication would be the best way to go in case our master server goes down at the main location we would still be able to access the images on the other master server in the remote location. If this is all true, I have seen during my reading that you can only do MSDP (main location) -> MSDP/Puredisk (remote location). Is this correct? If so does this mean we have to switch our current environment at our main location to MSDP off of PureDisk? Will MSDP work with Remote NDMP? Any help or better understanding would be greatly appreciated Thanks! Joey
Duplication jobs are stuck at "Waiting for positioning of media id"
We have an NetBackup 7.5.0.6 environment running on an RHEL5 Master Server and two RHEL5 Media Servers. Each server has access to all 16 LTO4 tape drives connected via two different libraries. On a regular basis I can encounter duplication jobs which seem to be stuck. All resources have been granted and a proper tape has been mounted. The file list contains the first image which should be duplicated in this batch and NetBackup claims that it's waiting for positioning the media. This can take take hours until finally the duplication process starts and then proceeds at expected speed (350 GiB/h) with multiple images in the batch. I know that positioning is not an issue as the same media and drives are used for B2T jobs which never show such behavior. Did anybody encounter something like this? Any hint where to look and what to check? Thanks MarkusRecovery issue
Hi All, We have two media servers (mediasr1 & mediasr2) with the same ddboost storage unit configured. On the mediasr1 the ddboost device configured over FC & mediasr2 the same ddboost device is configured over IP. We are trying to restore the data backed up from DDBoost over FC to mediasr1 using the mediasr2 where the storage server is configured over IP (10G). We are receiving the following error when trying the above restore: 07/01/2014 14:44:23 - begin Restore 07/01/2014 14:44:24 - restoring from image cdcumediasr6_1404202083 07/01/2014 14:44:24 - Warning bprd (pid=21297) Restore must be resumed prior to first image expiration on Tue 08 Jul 2014 01:38:03 PM IST 07/01/2014 14:44:24 - end Restore; elapsed time 0:00:01 07/01/2014 14:44:24 - requesting resource @aaaax 07/01/2014 14:44:24 - Error nbjm (pid=8315) NBU status: 2107, EMM status: Requested media server does not have credentials or is not configured for the storage server 07/01/2014 14:44:24 - Error nbjm (pid=8315) NBU status: 2107, EMM status: Requested media server does not have credentials or is not configured for the storage server allocation failed (10) Would like to know if the restore is possible or missing some configuration?
