Backuping up raw device mapped disk attached to a VM client
I need some knowledge: I'm using Netbackup 7.5.0.3 on Windows Server 2008 with a master and 2 media servers that are my VMWare backup hosts. I. - Backing up VM's with attached RDM disk: I've read the VMWare and snapshot client documentation but I'm still a little unclear about how to backup RDM (raw device mapped) disk. From what I read, I have 2 options: 1. - Install Netbackup client within the VM and backup the VM as I would a physical server. (not preferred.) 2. - Create an alternate backup client that has same OS and patch rev (or higher) that has access to the RDM to utilize offhost snapshot backups. My questions are: a. - Why can't I backup the RDM disk with a VMWare policy? b. - Can I backup the OS filesystem with a VMWare policy and the RDM disk with an alternate client so I can utilize offhost snapshots? c. Are there any differences if the RDM disk is physical or virtual?Solved6.3KViews1like5CommentsDisaster Recovery You'll Want to Use
Failure happens. There is nothing you can do to stop it. Disaster recovery only helps after something bad happens. Resiliency Platform's full automation and orchestration identifies risks to protect against disruptions as well as automates recovery when disruption still occurs.3.2KViews0likes0CommentsEP72: VMworld: Debuting the Veritas User Experience with NetBackup 8.1.2

Hello - Currently I am running Netbackup 7.5.0.1 on Linux master connected with two media servers, and current biggest challenge is my whole Netbackup infra accommodates more than 95% of VMware backups and both media servers acts as VMware hosts. At one point backup fails at Status 636, below are few steps which I tried to troubleshoot: * Captured Network utilization, found normal. * Enabled Perform Monitoring and found CPU utilization also Normal. Symantec is recommending to upgrade to 7.5.0.3, how much is this feasible and is there any other steps which I am missing here.

Hi, I have netbackup 7.5.0.4 and I am backing up VMware environment, the problem is when I run many jobs together (3 or 4), I noticed that the size on the datastore (VM storage) become full, i checked and found that the snapshot take the same size as the primary copy, so whats wrong here, the size of the snapshot is supposed to be a few gigbytes, why it take the same size, it seems it do mirroring for the disk.2.3KViews2likes14CommentsSymantec Netbackup - Password
