Flex 5260 help with API
Hello everyone, I am currently struggling with finding up-to-date resource regarding the available API endpoints for Flex 6.0. The closest i got was to https://sort.veritas.com/public/documents/FAPP/6.0/veritas5260/productguides/html/flex-restapis-6.0/ but even those are documented very poorly. Their github has last update 2 years ago and contains strange endpoints which in reality dont appear to exist, e.g. /api/appliance/v1.0/netbackup/checkpoints. Swagger would be helpful to at least test the commands but Swagger URL which i found here https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/doc/139332629-144656221-0/v143532640-144656221 doesnt work for me at all, i get 404. Any hints?

NetBackup Copilot for Oracle - its performance
Hello I am wondering what are the speeds you are achieving with Copilot for Oracle on NBU appliances - I am specifically taking about Backup from Snapshot step (its copying the data from share to msdp on the same appliance) - in configuration with NetBackup Copilot with Oracle Accelerator (Oracle's Incremental Merge). In environment I do manage we do have 3 such backups configured. Each is using its own NBU appliance, two streams, NBU appliances are 5250's and I do see such speeds for this Backup From Snapshot step: 700 MB/s 396 MB/s 308 MB/s So out of these three appliances only one is performing well and its a benchmark for the other two which are not even close to first one. I am wondering what values you are seeing in your environment. Please share if you can. Also I am wondering how NBU 5350 could have improved above backup approach - as 5250 can only have standard share - while the 5350 optimized share. What is the benefit of the optimized share?

sysadmin user
We are trying to upgrade our netbackup appliance from 3.1.2 to 4.1 and I have ran the Readiness Analyzer to make sure we are ready. One of the steps it is requiring is to change the default password on some of the accounts. One account it is requesting to change is the 'sysadmin' account. I see no account in the appliance for this, could this be the IPMI port? and if so, is there a way to change the password for it thru the CLISH? This is at a remote site for us.

About duplicating tapes or cloning tapes
Good morning to everybody! I have a need and I would like to know if it is possible to solve it. I have a backup stored on physical tapes, which is very important to the business. For auditing purposes, it is often required to restore the backups that are on those tapes. But due to business protocols, it is not possible to leave the tapes inside the library forever. Worflow is: - Restoration is requested - Tapes are ordered from the supplier - Tapes are placed in the library - Data is restored - Tapes are removed and delivered to the supplier. So, I would like to know if it is possible to "clone" or copy the tape to another physical tape, in this way we can store the "original" tapes in the provider, and we would leave the "cloned" ones in the library for the purposes of frequent restorations. Is it possible to do this? Or, failing that, is it possible to duplicate the images (stored in a tape) onto another tape? If possible, I would be grateful if you can guide me. In short, we are asked to have a 2nd copy of the images that are hosted on tapes, on other tapes. My environment is: NetBackup Appliance, NetBackup 8.1.2

I need recommendations to update Appliance OS
Hello everybody! I need recommendations or advice that can guide me in this update task. We have an environment of 2 appliances (5230 and 5240) and both are in version OS 3.1 (and NetBackup 8.1), a large number of servers are backed up and we have various types of integrations. The NBU 5240 is the productive backup server where the data is backed up to MSDP disk, then it is replicated through AIR to the NBU 5230, where the SLPs take care that the data is duplicated to tape. Anyway I will generate a case to Veritas Support, so the reason for this query is, what is the best way to escalate this to Veritas Support? I think I would have to generate two different cases for each appliance. We would like to be able to update to a more recent version, in this way update the NetBackup systems to 8.2 or 8.3+. In your experience, what would be the best way to do it? We have some servers with NBU client 7.x in backup, should I take the necessary precautions and update the backup agents? Very grateful to be able to count on your feedback.
