Minimising the number of NetBackup SQL policies
Hi all I am configuring a large environment and I would like to minimise the number of SQL backup policies. This is fairly simple with creating a AllDatabases.bch on the physical SQL servers and just referencing that bch file in the Backup Selections However when I create backups for SQL Clusters I want to have a different bch file for each virtual cluster name. Ideally I would like to use something like %backupclient%.bch in the backup selection but I cant find any documentation to say this is possible. Has anyone done anything similar to this or minimised the number of policies in another way. Cheers Mark652Views2likes2CommentsHaving problem on MSSQL agent backup
Hello Everyone, I'm new here and this is my first post!! :D I want to ask experts here about error from backup MSSQL using online agent. I use NBU extension GUI to create backup script to full backup all DB in default instance. When the schedule completed the parent job got status 1. Then I look for detailed page and found 1 of my DB cannot backup. ###error messages appear in Job status on NBU extention GUI ### INFO Error in GetConfiguration: 0x80770003.

Hi, One of our customers is using NetBackup 7.5.0.4 V-Ray technology to backup their Virtual SQL servers. The backups are running fine, but there is a question, consider the following situation: 1. The customer takes V-Ray backup during the night (and truncate the logs) 2. When the day starts, they start taking backups of transaction logs hourly, then truncate the logs 3. After the end of the day they take another V-Ray backup and so on... Is this setup correct and can it provide us an RPO of 1 hour during the day? Thanks.Solved1.4KViews1like5CommentsFind out the exact backup id(s) associated with specific files/folders that have been backed up
Hi all, When I configure a restore in BAR for a client, say, for the MS-Windows policy type, I can select a specific folder or file, click Actions > Preview Media and it would tell me which media id(s) the folder/file is associated with. Since BAR knows which media id(s) my selected file is stored in, it obviously knows which backup id(s) (image id) the file is associated with. Because if it doesn't, then it shouldn't be able to tell me which media id(s) the file is stored in. What I want to find out, is the backup id(s) associated with the file I selected for restore. The Preview Media option in BAR only tells me the associated media id(s) for the file, but I also want to know its associated backup id(s). If I use the "Images on Tape" report, or the catalog "verify" feature against a media id, it would tell me all the backup ids associated with that media id. But picture this problem: A single backup policy backs up one client: somesvr The selection list contains different drives and folders for somesvr. If the media ABC011 contains ten backup ids, and they all begin with somesvr_xxxxxxxxxx (x = ctime code). Then which backup id(s) out of the ten contains the file C:\test.txt on the server "somesvr" ? In BAR, if I select the file C:\test.txt (for a specific day and time), then use Preview Media, it tells me this file is stored in ABC011. But the problem is, I want to know which backup id(s) out of all backup id(s) inside ABC011 this file is really associated with. Thanks for your time! P.S. I know I could use bpflist to find out what folder/files each backup id contains, but I consider this an inefficient solution when I have hundereds of backup ids to go through.
