How can I find out the actual size of a backup after compression and deduplication ?
Hi everyone, I am using Veritas NetBackup version 11 to backup Oracle databases and all virtual machines in a quite big system. The using experience is nice and smooth, but my boss want me to show him the exact actual size of a backup after being backed up successfully. This means the actual size of a backup after being deduplicated. How can I find this statistics ? The Activity monitor in NetBackup Web UI shows the logical size and the deduplication ratio of each job ID, but it is suffering to manually sum them up =))) So, I really want to know that: Are there any faster ways to get the actual size of a backup after being deduplicated ? And if the only way to do that is manually calculating, what is the correct formula when I know the logical size and the deduplication ratio ?
NetBackup, client does not present in Cert Mgt, but shows connected in client properties
Despite the client being not present in Cert Mgt, it shows connected in client properties, and those clients backups have been operating lately. Only errors being the 196-backup window closed error. And most of the client backups ran just 3 days ago.
Backup of SAP HANA with multitenant database container with netbackup.
Hi, I have one query? We have netbackup 7.7.2 and SAP HANA with multitenant database container. For one instance we have to do following configurations on SAP HANA studio: Create hdbbackint soft link from /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/hdb/opt/hdbbackint to /usr/openv/NetBackup/bin/hdbbackint_script for every database instance. The parameter file (initSAP.utl) must be specified for data in the SAP HANA database instance configuration. To specify the parameter file, go to Instance->Configuration-> global.ini > data_backup_parameter_file. The parameter file (initSAP.utl) must be specified for logs in the SAP HANA database instance configuration. To specify backup using the parameter file, go to Instance->Configuration->global.ini-> log_backup_parameter_file. To specify backup using the backint file, go to Instance->Configuration->global.ini-> log_backup_using_backint->SYSTEM = true. My problem is that how to configure backup for multitenant database container (For multiple Instance ) We have cluster "Dev" with multitenant database container having 3 instance "Dev" "Quality" and "SystemDB" The problem is that DBA is telling that create hdbbackint soft link from /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/hdb/opt/hdbbackint to /usr/openv/NetBackup/bin/hdbbackint_script . DBA inform us that,It is not possible due to Database instances in SAP HANA database will be in hidden mode. So we cannot create the links. Requesting you to help me in this.

Import SLP is extending the retention with "Target retention"
Hi, so a quick question: When replicating from a legacy NBU Domain, the images that were created with 5 years retention and have only 1 year left are getting a retention refresh when being created with "target retention" For example: Copy 1 Created at 01/12/2020 Expires at 01/12/2025 Imported Target Retention Copy Created at 15/08/2025 Expires at 15/08/2030 Is this expected? Should 'Target Retention' reapply the original retention of the image basically resulting in a refresh?
Restoring Using a Different Media Server
Hello Everyone, I would like some assistance on how to perform a restoration using only one server that acts as both the master and media server. I currently have two master servers: one for PROD and one for DR. I plan to decommission the PROD master server along with all its connected media servers. I also plan to decommission the media servers connected to the DR master server and use the DR master as both the master and media server. My main concern is the restoration process. How can I redirect restorations from the old media servers (used for old backups) to the new combined master/media server, and use it for restoring both old and new backups? DR MASTER SERVER INFO: NBU Version: 10.3.0.1 OS: Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Standard Thank you.
