1 legacy server remova from policyl - Need To Keep Last Full Backup Data For 1 Year (DSU)
Hello Everyone, My apologies if this question / situation has been posted before. I have looked everywhere,but I am unable to find the post. Issue (RedHat Linux Environment / Netbackup 7.6): I have a policy with 2 hosts (server A and B). - Policy is daily imcrementals with full weekend backup - client B will be decommissioned in a few days - Need to keep the last full backup for 1 year - physical host will be re-purpose for something else Here is what I am planning to do to accomplish above request: - increase retention period to 1 year on last full backup image for "client B" using (bpexpdate) command - stop netbackup on "client B" - remove hostname "client B" from policy X My questions are: - Am I missing anything else - Is it OK to remove hostname "client B" from the policy - How do I restore data using the last backup image, if necesary, now that the physical server is gone Is there anything I am doing wrong where the image backup will become useless? Thank you in advance for any guidance. Ed

SAP DB2 Archive Backup
How can we backup the archive logs of SAP DB2 to Netbackup. I have searched a lot but couldnt find much in this regard. We have configured the db2.conf with the policy and Schedule details and we are using the Vendor Method to backup DB2. The database backups are running fine but in db2diag.log there is a constant message of log backup failure. Except from changing the db2.conf and mentioning the LOGARCHMETH1 with VENDOR:/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbdb2.sl64. Do i need to do something else for the archive log to backup automatically to Netbackup. I have done this in TSM and Commvault and we generally update one more parameter ofVENDOROPT for the archive to automatically get transfered to the backup storage.
