Best practice offsite
We have Netbackup 7.6 running on a Windows server. The server environtment being backed up is mixed withRedHat, Windows and Solaris servers. We have seperate policy/volume pools for the onsite tape backups of each environment.However;we have only one offsite tape pool and all offsite backups from all environments go to the same tape. As a best pratice is it recommended to mix offsite backupson the same pool/tape? Does anybody forsee a problem with this if there were ever a need for an offsite DR?

Hi, NBU 7.5.0.6, RHEL6. we've recently started to recieve nightly emails with the subject "netbackup catalog change successful." We get a LOT of them. Every morning we get one for each of the last week or two's worth of catalog backups; at a glance it is identical to the "netbackup catalog backup successful" report we get after each catalog backup. Jan 5at 5:41, netbackup sent me 18individual emails. Jan 6 5:41, 10 more. Jan 7 5:41, 5. Jan 8, 10. jan 9, 8. etc. This is not a mail system problem; postfix logs show netbackup is sending them each morning. I haven't analyzed specifically which days we are sent which logs, My catalog backup policy specifies that 3 copies are made of each full catalog backup: 2 to tape, and 1 to disk. 2 copies made of each incremental, 1 tape and 1 disk. Presumably importantly, the disk imagesexpire after 2 weeks (tapes 3 months/1 year). I see discussion of the "new feature" here:http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/netbackup-catalog-backup-change-successful-started-showing Unfortunately there's no solution listed there. Help, i'm drowning in spam. Worse, my boss is complaining. thanks!2.4KViews0likes10CommentsBackup strategy best practice please.

Using System Recovery 2013. We backup to an external hard disk then create an offsite copy to a NAS device. Ideleted some backup sets through the'managebackup destinations' option to free up disk space. Now the backup history shows the backup sets on the external hard drive as missing and the offsite copies as unavailable. The external hard disk backups were removed using the 'manage backup destinations' option. I had to manually delete the backups from the offsite destination as therecovery points arenot even available through that windows as per the screenshot. What is going on here? Is this a bug or something I'm doing wrong?1KViews1like6CommentsSSR Pruning for offsite
When I create a backup job in SSR, I know there is a place to "Limit the number of recovery point sets saved for this backup". I understand when I backup to the destination on my Buffalo NAS, this pruning takes affect. My question is, what about the offsite copies? Does the pruning for the job also apply to the offsite USB drive the offsite images are being copied to?Solved586Views0likes2CommentsSSR 2013 How to improve FTP off-site copy performance?
How can I improve off-site copy performance via FTP? Is there any "undocumented" tuning feature or is any RFE required to achive that? SSR 2013 Desktop Edition is running on Windows 7 and off-site copy is sent to a remote server via FTP. The hosts are connected through 10Gb ethernet. Transfer rate of FTP protocol between the host is 300MB/s or more. It is an actual rate when I tested to send SSR backup images to the remote server using a bundle ftp command of Windows 7. However, off-site copy performance is up to around 100MB/s under the same environment. The both hosts are not so busy. Almost 10% of network workload and 30% of disk I/O workload during the off-site copy. Much CPU/Memory resources are free. The admin guide never describes any feature or tunables to improve the FTP performance. I opened a Symantec case and asked about that. But the answer was "no such feature is available". I wonder if any "undocumented" feature or tunables are implemented on SSR 2013. Or performance improvement on FTP off-site copy will be provided by a patch or in the next release. Any advice or information?957Views0likes7Commentssymantec system recovery 2013 - offsite backup problems
Hello, We have a backup job for 2 different external drives. The regular backup is performed ok most of the times, but we have problems with the offsite copy: We have 4 partitions to be backed upin our computer. 2 of them are backed up in this job, but the remaining 2 partitions haven't been backed up for the past 10 days. The regular backup works wellfor all the 4 partitions. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem ?

We are implementing the Symantec NetBackup hardware solution for WinTel and UNIX in production, BUT will be using the software solution at our Disaster Recovery site. I'd like information from anyone who knows the throughput difference between the hardware vs. software solution. I contend that the software solution is NOT a good solution for the DR site, but can't find any data to "back me up" (pun intended).
