Duplication of Backup sets to be scheduled
Hello all, I am trying to find a way in BE 2014, how to schedule duplication of backup sets. I am duplicating one server (backup set) this way: https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.HOWTO98918 I have about 10 servers and I need to create monthly backup, which should consists of last full backup set of all servers backuped to Virtual disk (a link above is working only under 1 server). Only one possible solution how to backup month tapes is duplication backup sets for me. I do not want to do it manually each month, is it somewhere possible to create automatically? Thank you, Robert

Should I use the same storage for OS part and Backup DB part?
We are trying to set up Linux server for the backup server, and are using NetApp storage for the both OS part and Backup data part. We have two different type of stroage both from NetApp. One is FAS which has a lot of storage based functions, and support NFS, SnopShots, DR replications. The other one is E-series has less functions and primarily for the backup data images. Should I seperate OS and Data part , one on FAS, and the other on E, or does that matter. Thanks!

netbackup 7.5.0.7 causing high cpu during sql backup
We have several 2003 and 2008 servers running netbackup 7.5.0.7 and when netbackup tries to backup SQL dbs it causes extreme CPU spikes. We had this same issue with 7.5.0.6 but were able to get an EBB (3342502) patch that fixed it in that version but having since updated, the issue has returned. Anyone else having issues with CPU spikes and are aware of a fix for it? Thanks

Discrepancy in Windows Security Update between CAS and media server (both appliance 3600)
Hi all, We all know BE can receive Windows security update via the web UI. Now I have found discrepancy in the "installed updates" tab between the CAS and media server. The media server just has more Windows updates (KBxxxxxx) than the CAS. As they both have auto-check every Sunday, I don't know why this is happening. After the Patch Tuesday this month, the CAS did show it downloaded 9 updates in the last download session log. Then I scheduled to run the installation a couple of days ago, this morning when I checked it, no new updates were installed in the CAS! Is this normal? Thanks.

Duplicate to tape "Rule Blocked"
I setup my 3600 to backup a server full / Incrim for a few months just to dedupe locally now a tape is being required so I installed a quantum ulta 5 half height tape library. (no updates available on the 3600 I am on 2012 SP4 with all the latest hotfix's) Ensured it is on the latest FW, did a full diagnostic via quantums propriertery software, ensured the hba was also on its latest firmware/driver ( I did this after when troubleshooting). Connected the tape drive and installed it via adding a tape drive in storage and used the symantec drivers. I then proceeded to modify the rule for the server I am backing up to dupelicate to tape and with all backups selected, then with most recent full backup to which I got a running job then back to scheduled with nothing else I tried a one off backup job and it worked.... I then created a new job with the same settings and deleted the old job I now get a rule blocked. I then proceeded to disable/hold every other job and clean out every old job, recoverys etc.... and tried it again still rule blocked I then changed the full backup to yearly removed inc and the tape to yearly and set it 6 months apart still rule blocked. to note I am trying to backup lotus DB only not exchange and I only have 2GB lleft on dedupe/disks I am at my 500gb reserve, so no new disk backups can occur I have also disabled all error handling rules and enabled logging to the maximum and couldnt see anything to which it was referring to ? any ideas as I am going out of my mind on this

Symantec NetBackup Encryption
1) If I'm is trying to move away from a Brocade Encryption Switch (BES) since it has been announced EOL, can NBU be used to unencrypt the tapes that were already encrypted with BES and then can NBU encrypt them again using different keys so that all these tapes' encryption keys can be migrated from BES to NBU (so BES can be removed completely eventually)? 2) If encryption is occurring at the tape drive by NBU KMS encryption, will there be backwards compatibility from LTO-7 to LTO-5 or LTO-4? 3) Would the unencryption of the tapes have to be done by the BES or NetApp DataFort (which the customer also has)?
