Hi Current environment: Main DC: Master: RHEL 6.7. NBU version 7.7.2 Mediaserver: RHEL 7.2 NBU version 7.7.2 Remote DC: Master: RHEL 6.7. NBU version 7.7.2 Mediaserver: RHEL 7.2. NBU version 7.7.2 Both media servers are taking backups in their respective DC`s, and then they replicate the data through AIR to eachother. To achieve this i have created an SLP, which look likes this: One used in Main DC: Backup -> MSDP(Main DC) Replication -> MSDP (Remote DC) One used in Remote DC: Backup -> MSDP(Remote) Replication -> MSDP (Main DC) I have a taperobot connected to the Netbackup environment in Main DC. So what i am trying to achieve now is to create another duplication to tape, once a month for long term retention. So this duplication is going to run only once a month, and will have a different retention, for data from both mediaservers. Here are some questions i have: How can i achieve this? My understanding is that i need to create another schedule and SLP, but just dont understand how? How will i be able to track the media used for this duplication, what about the eject report? And to make the situation even worse, i also have a Forced rescan schedule setup to run every 6 months. If i end up creating new schedule for monthly backups, wonder what will happen if full, forced rescan and monthly all kicks at the same time. My understanding is that is uses the one with longest frequency which in this case would be forced rescan (6months). Would appreciate some help here, thanks.1.7KViews0likes4CommentsSynthetic backup failing with error 87.

Hi Guys, I'm having problem to make my SLP to run via SAN and hope you guys can help me or give me some ideas on this. Here's my environment details. All Netbackup running on version 7.7.2 1 master server - Linux Redhat 41 clients - Linux Redhat There is no dedicated media server On Master Server: We have 2 HBAs. One is 16GB (Qlogic QLE2660), which is not supported by Veritas (yet) based on hardware compatibility matrix. So we added a temporary HBA (Qlogic QLE2460) with 4GB speed. Driver successfully installed on QLE2460. We successfully configured FT backup for SAN clients based on below zoning setup. SAN Client Zone Member Client - initiator Master Server - target (4GB HBA) SAN storage - initiator/target The backup setup for all SAN client is to back them up to disk (which is on master server). And then it will be duplicated to tape via SLP. The issue is currently all the SLP is running via LAN and not FT. I wonder why since both the disk and tape library are connected to master server. And to think that tape drive is on FC but data transfer to LAN is just doesn't make sense to me. So we zone the 16GB HBA (initiator) together with the 4GB HBA (target), setting the master server to be a SAN client as well (bpclntcmd -sanclient 1), thinking that perhaps we can make the data transfer from the 16GB card to 4GB card. The transport type when we backing up master server by itself now changed to FT. But it failed with FT Pipe could not be opened (83). Can we do a zoning for master server as below? Master Server Zone Member Master Server - initiator (16GB HBA) Master Server - target (4GB HBA) Tape library - target Basically we have 2 problems now. Based on what I explained above. Is it possible SLP to run on FT? Or do we need to have dedicated FT media server? Error 83 - Is it because both HBA belongs to the master server?

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?

Hello people. I have a domain with two MSDP but a MSDP this with 89% in use and another 35% in use and I have backups with one-year retention. In this case, I wonder what is the best practice to migrate a backup between MSDP? I need to reduce a use the first MSDP !Solved1.1KViews0likes3CommentsTo know the Possibility to cover the Basic Disk to MSDP
NBU Version:- 7.6.0.1 Its a Single Master and Media Server OS: Solaris Currently we have attached a DAS box directly to our media server of 45 TB and its configured as multiple basic disk storage units for backup Now we are planning to go with deduplication disk (either MSDP or Puredisk) 1. Want to know any possiable way to convert the existing backups from basic disk to deduplication disk (MSDP or PureDisk) 2. Its is possiable to add more disk space we already added 45 TB so that we can create seperate MSDP untill the basic disk backup retentions are complete.Solved1.3KViews0likes2CommentsAIR replication restart
Hello I have a question regarding deduplication and AIR : when a replication is interrupted for any reason (link failure, server reboot, ....) are the block already sent to the other site totaly lost ? With other words, when the replication is restarted (from 0 of course) , is it really not optimized (supposing it is the first time it runs) or the first part of the replication can take advantage of already sent blocks ? I imagine the blocks received by the remote MSDP are stored then could be potentially be used ... but maybe they are flagged "to be deleted" when the replciation process is broken and then can not be used ... If anybody has knowlegde or ideas on this point .... Best regardsSolved1.8KViews0likes5CommentsOracle backup job failed - Unexpected error - E0001005
