Netbackup Tape writing behaviour
Hello All, I have a question about tape retention. The question may be stupid and /i think i know the answer, but I am not sure. In a situation where netbackup is writing a frontend(client to tape) or SLP driven deduplication backup (disk to tape).. and for some reason the backup fails. What happens to the data that has already been written on the tape? Is it retained as per the policy schedule retention that is defined or is it discarded? Also what happens to such a tape where the backup that was writing to it failed before it could complete? Is there a way of identifying such tapes? Maybe erasing them and putting them i nthe scratch pool? Any help is fully appreciated. Kind Regards, JayBackup to tape report
I'm trying to generate an OpsCenter report which shows how much (GB/TB) data is backed up to tape. I've tried using a tabular report using the "Media Volume Group Name", with columns for "Media Server" and "Job Size". This report doesn't seem to show adequate numbers. Is there a better report or SQL query to gather this type of information ?
