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, Jay

Netbackup 8.1.2 upgrade to 8.3.0.1 and client version
Hi, i'm preparing an upgrade from 8.1.2 to 8.3.0.1. Two culprits. An Enterprise Vault and Exchange. The current Vault and Exchange versions are still supported. But they run an Windows 2008 platforms. Windows 2008 is no longer supported on 8.3.0.1. I understand i need to leave the client version at 8.1.2 on those two clients? Upgrading to 8.3.0.1 is or not possible (installer will refuse) or renders the setup not supported (taking into account 2008 is not supported anyway but the agent still continues to function without any issue)? Before anyone asks, we have processes in place to migrate both clients. But we'll probably need an upgrade of Netbackup earlier :-)
