Array based snapshot - Browse and restore VMs from HUA Dorado LUNs snapshots
Hello all, I need your support to allow my Veritas netbackup to read and browse Huawai snapshots and restore VMs from HUA snapshots. what is license required fro netbackup side and vmware side? How to add the HUA storage array to netbackup? How to read snapshots [created from LUNs - VMFS datastores] by net backup? How to restore VMs from array based snapshots? Do I need to install netbakup agent on all vmware hosts ? What vendor plugin [from vendor of the Hawaii array] need to be deployed ? and where on the master, media , or esxi host] Many thanks
Discrepancy in Charged TB in NetBackup Deployment Utility
Hi Veritas Support, I am encountering a discrepancy in the charged TB for my 7-day Capacity Licensing Report (22nd May,2024 - 29th May,2024) generated by the NetBackup Deployment Utility. The 7-day report shows a significantly higher TB charged compared to the 35-day report(24th April, 2024 - 29th May, 2024). We perform one full backup per week and six incremental backups per week. After investigating, I found the following: 1. I checked the itemization tab and compared columns - Client Name, Policy Name, Policy Type, and Backup Image - to identify any duplicate rows with the same values across these columns, which could lead to overlapping and increased TB size. No exact duplicates were found. 2. Despite this, the discrepancy still persists, and I need assistance in understanding why the 7-day report shows such a high TB charged and how to accurately adjust for potential overlaps or other issues. Thank you for your support. Best regards, Pruthvi Patel

NBU 10x tape 2 tape copy (inline copy) clarification.
Hi people: We have a 4 drive LTO9 library, Master/media server is Windows2022 and NBU 10.1.2. I have some policies that do a two tape copy of data to different pools. For example, mydata policy have two schedules foreverfull schedule make a backup to Mypool01 (primary copy on tape1) and its copy is located in Mypool02 (second copy on tape2) with retention level 100. Most of the time the policy make the two tape backup and copy successfully. monthlyfull schedule make a backup to Monthpool01 (primary copy) and its copy is located in Monthpool02 with retention level 10. Sometimes tape1 o tape2 fails over the copy (HW errors mostly, like need cleans drive) and then just use bpduplicate to make the copy over the tape of the respective pool. Today I have some doubts about the correct syntax, because I need to copy a backup with two copies made with monthlyfull schedule (the backupid is server01.net_1705357985) to use foreverfull pools and change the retention level. My question/doubts are around the -npc; should I use it? Of course, I want that backups on foreverfull schedule remains as primary copies. bpduplicate -v -number_copies 2 -backupid server01.net_1705357985 -client server01.net -dp Mypool1,Mypool2 -dstunit mylibrary-01-hcart3-robot-tld-0 -id 000012 -L copi.wri -policy Respaldo_servr01 -rl 100,100 Can anybody give some ligth about this?Error during backup of DFS-R

Hi, Newbie here, so apologies for any errors in formatting or etiquette. We have a Netbackup installation running v5.1MP6 on HP-UX. Yes, it's old, yes we'd like to retire it or upgrade. It seems to have stopped scheduling jobs all for itself? It's been reliable and happy up to just before the holidays, but now the scheduling of backups seems to have started to fail. We have restarted NBU a couple of times, which doesn't seem to have made any difference. We are seeing the following message in the bpsched log file (once I'd created the directory for it to log bpsched to): 10:21:30.620 [16340] <2> bpsched: INITIATING (verbose=0) ... 10:21:30.621 [16340] <2> bpsched: BPRD PPID = 20591 10:21:30.621 [16340] <2> logparams: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpsched -ppid 20591 10:21:30.621 [16340] <2> bpsched_main: wait_on_que=0, timeout_in_que=36000, reread_interval=300,queue_on_error=0, bptm_query_timeout=480, s_m 0 10:21:30.871 [16340] <2> LOCAL CLASS_ATT_DEFS: Product ID = 6 10:21:31.109 [16340] <8> bpsched_main: another regular bpsched is already examining the policy configuration 10:21:31.110 [16340] <4> bpsched: scheduler exiting - regular bpsched is already running (214) 10:31:30.249 [18497] <2> bpsched: INITIATING (verbose=0) ... 10:31:30.249 [18497] <2> bpsched: BPRD PPID = 20591 10:31:30.249 [18497] <2> logparams: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpsched -ppid 20591 10:31:30.249 [18497] <2> bpsched_main: wait_on_que=0, timeout_in_que=36000, reread_interval=300,queue_on_error=0, bptm_query_timeout=480, s_m 0 10:31:30.482 [18497] <2> LOCAL CLASS_ATT_DEFS: Product ID = 6 10:31:30.714 [18497] <8> bpsched_main: another regular bpsched is already examining the policy configuration 10:31:30.715 [18497] <4> bpsched: scheduler exiting - regular bpsched is already running (214) 10:41:30.389 [20828] <2> bpsched: INITIATING (verbose=0) ... 10:41:30.389 [20828] <2> bpsched: BPRD PPID = 20591 10:41:30.389 [20828] <2> logparams: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpsched -ppid 20591 Even without the "another regular bpsched is already examining..." it still didn't seem to want to schedule backups for itself? Any thoughts please? We haven't just rebooted the server, as why would we have to and why would that make any difference? (Typical sys admin response! :) ) Thanks
