Disk storage unit is full(129) after duplication
Greetings dears! In NetBackup 7.5 Master Server, I have a Storage Unit with: Type: Disk Disk Type: BasicDisk High Water mark 90% Low water mark 80% In Staging Schedule: storage unit: Tape_Library volume pool: Full_Pool The Storage Unit is 9.1 TB in size with 300GB free. All images currently in this unit are duplicated to tapes. The images have a retension policy of 3 weeks. All of them are created during these 3 weeks, not before! I now try in this unit to create an image (through manual backup process) of approx 600GB. The job exits with error 129 (Disk Storage Unit full) Since all images are duplicated to tapes, shouldn't some of them get cleaned up from the disk to free space for the next image to come? Have i misconfigured something? Thank you for in advance for your answers! Best regards!
Duplicating a hardware encrypted tape to an unencrypted tape
I have an LTO5 tape that has been backed up with hardware encryption. It has a variety of different types of backup sessions (flat files, MS SQL servers, MS Exchange) and I've been given the passphrase, so I've re-created the key and can pull off the flat files without any issue. The client has asked me to create an unencrypted version of the tape (they wish to use various 3rd party tools to extract the SQL and MS Exchange backups), and I've tried doing this with the duplication function, but I can't get it to work. I have a second tape drive in which I've mounted a freshly erased and labelled LTO5. When I try duplicating the original sessions from the encrypted tape onto it, I'm given the option of types of encryption (I chose none) but BE is switching on hardware encryption on the target drive anyway. This is regardless of whether I use DirectCopy, or choose to actually have encryption (which then gives me the option of choosing which key to use). Any ideas? Is there some option or other hidden deep in the bowels of BE that's telling it to encrypt everything it writes to tape by default?Data to Tapes Not Compressed
I am using LTO6 tapes with the HPE MSL2024 tape library. I am sure the Hardware Compression has been enabled at the tape library level, but the data writing to the tapes does not seem to be compressed at all. Each tape shows Full when the usage reachs to 2.8TB which is just raw capacity. BTW, my NetBackup system is a NetBackup Appliance 5230. It looks like the hardware compression is disabled from the Appliance somewhere. Any idea would appreciated. Ross
Backup Exec 2010 R3 stuck on verify
Hi, I'm using HP tape drive (LTO4). The job gets stuck on verify part (somewhere between 20-40% of the progress). After cancelling the job, Byte Count immediately forwards to the value that is 100% of completion. Looking at Job History, every single Backup and Verify operation has status Completed, without any errors or exceptions. Backup is set for 3 servers (2 remote agents), all of them are Windows Server 2008 R2. What can cause this problem, how can I solve it? I've tried the LiveUpdate (BE was updated, but it didn't solve the problem), deleting tape drive, restarting Remote Agent services.Backup Exec Not Recognizing Tape Media
I'm new to Backup Exec and am having trouble getting our backups working. We use NDMP to backup NetApp to a robotic tape library. Under the Media Properties of the tape drive it states "There is no media in the drive." When I try to run a job it gets stuck on "Active: Queued - Backup Scan" This is on Backup Exec 20.5. I've tried restarting the tape library and server, manually loading tapes to the drive, adjusting the overwrite protection, and inventories are completed succussfully. Any suggestions?Compatability between Oracle ASM and Veritas Netbackup
Hi Experts, I am a solution architect for one of the project and stuggling to understand the solution proposal for one of the customer. So the situation is like this --- There are couple of Oracle Databases with ASM Confiigured, now customer is looking for a backup and restore solution to Tapes, wehave proposed Veritas Netbackup. Now there are couple of doubts related with the compatability issues between Oracle ASM and Netbackup Software. 1. Is it possible for netbackup software to interact with the ASM disks (Backup Disk Group) and fetch the data using its policies. 2. The other option coming is - instructing RMAN to take backups and without keeping them in disk stream them over to the Tapes ? -- In this case is there any need of Netbackup Software ? 3. Current poicy: They are taking their backups using RMAN to ASM disk groups, any way to move those backups directly from the ASM groups to tapes using netbackup ? 4. I know their are certain limitations when using ASM - Clone or snapshor and Proxy level backups are not possible .... Any other limitations with the ASM which i missed or any other issues with ASM ?? Please Help, i am struck in a real difficult situation. Thanks Guys, Prashant
Slow backup to tape
Hi, We're having some trouble backing up virtual and physical servers to tape. We're not getting the speed it should get and it takes up a lot of time to back up the environment. 2,63TB of data takes up more than 24 hours. Information about job, tape & tape drive: Tape type:HPE LTO Ultrium 6 6,25TB MP RW Tape Drive: MSL 2024 Compression: Hardware Encryption: None Verify: Yes These backups are going through the internal network within the domain. The average backup speed is 4,300MB/m (which is way to slow) When we backup locally on the backup server (for example the D:\ drive where the incremental disk backups are saved on the backup server) it gets to a speed of 10500MB/m. Which is understandable considering it's a straight connection to the tape drive. What did we do to try and resolve it: * Checked the compression * Checked encryption * Replaced tapes for new tapes * Resetted the tape drive * Updated Tapedrive firmware * Checked out the network for inconsistencies (not found), file transfers via other apps around 126mbs from server to server) * Job from VM on hyper-visor to tape (around 2,900 MB/m) * Local disk to tape (between 10500MB/M and 13500MB/M) * VM to disk on the backup server (Around 6200MB/M) Help would be appreciated.
