Re: [Veritas-bu] Data Domain with Storgage Unit group question
You can group the two data domains to one storage unit group. BUT it is NOT recommended. The benefit of deduplication does not come from the data that are the same across systems, but from the backups of the same system. Both data domains cannot cooperate together, and if a backup goes to the datadomains with a round robin group eventually you will end up with two datadomain having the same data, loosing space and overall deduplication ratio. It is better to use a strict client to datadomain relationship. I cannot find anything about storage unit group at your PDF and it is better to read this EMC PDF http://www.google.gr/url?sa=trct=jq=esrc=ssource=webcd=1ved=0CB0QFjAA; url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.emc.com%2Fcollateral%2Fsoftware%2Fwhite-papers%2Fh7334- data-domain-boost-netbackup-wp.pdfei=BDaWUN5qwaLRBcnxgOAKusg=AFQjCNHQTBQRX tFmddSdcGW1MxlbiJbRdAsig2=G0W19IOKc4fLjYSVKBcs6gcad=rja at page 7 says: As a best practice, EMC recommends using only the Failover Storage Unit selection criteria with Data Domain systems. Leveraging the selections Prioritized or Round Robin will not consistently send the same backups to the same system repeatedly, which will yield inferior deduplication ratios. With Failover, backups would be sent only to a standby Data Domain system in the event of a failure, resulting in optimal deduplication ratios. The efficiency of optimal deduplication ratios combined with N+1 failover for critically important backups is easily configured using Storage Unit Groups and the Failover selection criteria I hope that you understand what I'm saying.

Re: [Veritas-bu] IBM tape encryption - LME, TS3500, TS1120/TS1130 and TKLM
From what I know You have two options. First is to encrypt all tapes. Second is to create new pool to netbackup that will have the encrypted tapes. For theses pools the pool number has to be from 5000 and up. Doing this TKLM interacts with netbackup and if the pool is over 5000 the backup will be encrypted. You cannot create a pool with specific number from the GUI.

Our customers have just advised us that they require any tapes we send to the new data centre to be encrypted. So I'm in a mad rush to implement an encryption solution and bpduplicate as many unencrypted tapes as possible onto encrypted tapes before we shut down in a few weeks. We have gone with Library Managed Encryption. We have an IBM TS3500 with ALMS, and TS1120 and TS1130 drives. We have purchased a Tivoli Key Lifecycle Manager (TKLM) license. I plan to install the TKLM server on a VM tomorrow, encrypt as many tapes as I can, then shut it all down, and move the VM along with the encrypted tapes to the new data centre. (Well, not really *with* the tapes. The tapes will go via courier, the VM will be moved using disk replication). My plan is to setup 3 new logical libraries with a couple of dedicated drives each (there are 3 seperate NBU domains), configure ALMS so that all drives in those logical libraries will write encrypted tapes, and then bpduplicate from the old unencrypted library to the encrypted library. From my understanding, this would all be totally transparent to NetBackup. However, I have just been reading about Internal Library Encryption Polcy (ILEP) which seems to allow you to set things up such that the library will decide whether to encrypt a tape based on it's NBU pool number. http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/WP100964 Frankly, I'm not a security person, and reading that document does my head in. I guess I'm just asking if anyone on this list has played with IBM tape drive encryption and TKLM, and if so, in my particular situation does it make sense to just ignore the ILEP stuff and set the logical library to encrypt everything? I'd use the Barcode encryption policy in ALMS, and just tell it to encrypt *every* barcode in that particular library. I need to keep things as simple as possible so that I can encrypt as many tapes as I can and hand over a relatively simple system. In general, any thoughts from anyone with experience with this stuff would be appreciated.

I'm wondering if anyone has observed strange behavior like this with regard to media server dedupe pools and associated replication and restores. Here's our scenario. We have 2 media server dedupe pools setup. One hangs off a local media server. The other hangs off a media server at our DR site. The local pool has the credentials of the remote pool (to enable push replication). The remote pool doesn't have any extra credentials although we'd ideally like to setup a pull replication setup where the remote pool has the credentials of the local pool and initiates the pull of images). We backup to the local dedupe pool and then have an SLP which duplicates those images to the pool hanging off the remote media server. All the primary backup images are in the local pool. All the copy 2's are in the remote pool. Data in both pools has the same retention. If all of that is in place and backups and replication are working, when we're asked to restore a file who's primary copy is in the local pool, it will try and route the backup through the remote media server (which doesn't have the primary image). The restore job will just sit there until we cancel it. The only way we have found to resolve this issue is to remove the credentials of the remote media server from the local media server dedupe pool (which disables our ability to replicate data between the 2 pools), reboot all NBU machines (master server and media servers) and the restart all the NBU services. Once this has been done, restores look automatically at the local media server (where the primary image always resides) and the restore is successful. Support are being as good as useless so I'm reaching out to you fine folks to see if anyone has any advice. NBU environment is 7.1 solaris x86 master, 7.1 media servers on windows 2008 R2.

The most feasible solution from my analysis (for Windows Desktops / Laptops) was Microsoft Data Protection Manager. Our existing EA license covers the client cost, and the server component is free. The package includes an app that runs backups on the client, then synchs changes to the DPM server when it connects to the corporate network. There is also a deduplication feature built in so the same OS files are not backed up repeatedly.

Re: [Veritas-bu] OpsCentre on NBU Win2k3 Master 7.0.1
You can configure OpsCenter later. You need to use a good system for the OpsCenter and NOT the backup server (in a test environment, yes) Some of my customers love it some are not like the reports OpsCenter have. But you can manage two or more NBU servers from one opcsenter.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Veritas-bu Digest, please top urgent
First of all, try to verify your backup. 1.14 MB/sec is a very slow speed for exchange backup. If your exchange is not a media server try to do a test backup of the media server. Check the speed of this backup. If it is slow then, you may have problems with the tape connectivity (drivers, cables, HBAs, terminators, fiber cables.) If the test backup is fast, then you may have problems at your network. Open the bpbkar log at the exchange server and raise the verbosity to 5. Also open the bptm log at the media server. After one exchange backup examine the bpbkar log for buffer entries. If the backup waits to fill the buffers, then you have problem with the exchange system. If it waits for empty buffers you have problem with the network.

If your exchange is not a media server try to do a test backup of the media server. Check the speed of this backup. If it is slow then, you may have problems with the tape connectivity (drivers, cables, HBAs, terminators, fiber cables.) If the test backup is fast, then you may have problems at your network. Open the bpbkar log at the exchange server and raise the verbosity to 5. Also open the bptm log at the media server. After one exchange backup examine the bpbkar log for buffer entries. If the backup waits to fill the buffers, then you have problem with the exchange system. If it waits for empty buffers you have problem with the network.

Re: [Veritas-bu] FlashBackups - Q A:
Hello Simon, Unfortunately very slow restores is the biggest problem of flashbackup backups. The backup is very fast. And the restore of the volume is very fast. But when you try to restore a file, then you may wait more time than the time to restore the volume. Netbackup reads the backup serially, to find the files. Check this (in the new ugly and cannot search symanetc support site) http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH53111 Note: Individual file restore from a raw FlashBackup backup will perform much more slowly than a restore of the entire partition, and the performance decreases exponentially the more individual files that are selected for restore. One way to increase performance is to configure the 'Maximum fragment size' on the Storage Unit to a small size such as 1GB or even 500MB (prior to the backups of course). stefanos From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of WEAVER, Simon (external) Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2010 9:29 AM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] FlashBackups - Q A: Hi A fellow member has kindly guided me into the right direction of using FlashBackps.

NBU is 7.0 and the OS is Red Hat Enterprise 5. When I brought up the NBU interface to configure the libraries, I'm seeing each one of my libraries multiple times. I have 1 master and 2 media servers. Each has 4 Qlogic HBAs in them. I've zoned all 4 of the HBAs in the master and the first 2 in both media (I'm going to use the other 2 HBAs for SAN clients). I've double checked my SAN zoning and multipathd config in Red Hat and everything looks fine to me. I have a feeling this is going to be a 'doh!' moment when I finally figure out the issue. Anyone else out there running Fibre Channel drives in RHEL? What do you do to get the OS to just see 1 device with multiple paths instead of thinking each path = 1 device?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Question for NetBackup 7.0 Dedup user OR Data Domain users
The big difference between DataDomain (and all appliances) and nebackup deduplication option is that netbackup can do the process on the client. This will speed up the time of the backup. With DD and netbackup media server deduplication, nothing will change at your backup time, as all your data will travel to the media server. Do not listen to the companies about the deduplication ratio. Your data is unique, and nobody can predict the ratio. Ask for a demo from both companies. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Travis Kelley Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2010 12:38 AM To: judy_hinchcli...@administaff.com; cal...@kforce.com; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Question for NetBackup 7.0 Dedup user OR Data Domain users Data domain also has a limit to the amount of data one of their units can track but its fairly high.

I wanted to see if I could get some real world feedback on what you guys have been seeing in terms of dedupe rates, performance, etc. For example Data Domain claims we would only see about 5:1 dedupe rate using NetBackup, which seems quite a bit lower than what I would expectand of course they claim they would get about 20:1.

Sorry my mistake.
Use this. It will give you the client, backupID, mediaID and media server.
If you need only the client and the media server, delete the $6 from the

Bpdbjobs is the most easy way to do it, but if you want something else run
the command
bperror |grep successfully wrote backup id |awk '{print $9$5
$15}'|sort |uniq
if you are using windows Google and find awk sort and uniq for dos. Or a

Backup exec and netbackup are using different ports. You can have both netbackup and backup exec at the same system, but you do not want to run them at the same time. One backup software is taking every free recourse of the system. Imagine what two backup software running at the same time. The above is correct only for backup exec up to 12.5 and netbackup 6.5.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Retaining Date for 20 years+
Well, netbackup is using tar to write and read to the tape. If you not use multiplexing, and you know what is on what tape, then you can restore backups without netbackup. I have come in front of many companies that have 15 years backups and they try to find a travan tape drive (or other) and the software to read the tapes.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU6 and Sharepoint accounts
You must use an account with share point admin privileges and not system account. stefanos From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wilkinson, Tim Sent: Friday, June 02, 2006 8:45 AM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU6 and Sharepoint accounts Hi, We're looking to back up Sharepoint Portal 2003 and I've noticed a strange bit in the VERITAS Sharepoint 2003 admin guide. Step 4 seems to suggest if local account is not used then it's all finished and shouldn't be configured: Configuring the NetBackup Client Service Log On Account To backup the SharePoint Index databases or Document Libraries, the NetBackup Client Service must be authorized to run as the SharePoint administrator. In Windows Services, configure the NetBackup Client Service properties for the host(s) where the Index database(s) or Document Libraries reside. ▼ To verify or modify the Log On account for the NetBackup Client service 1.Open the Windows Services application. 2.Double-click on the NetBackup Client Service entry. 3.Click on the Log On tab. 4.If the local system account is not selected as the Log on as account, proceed with step 7. 5.Provide the name of the account authorized to run as the SharePoint administrator. Note To change this account, you must have administrator group privileges. 6.Stop and start the NetBackup Client Service. 7.Close the Services control panel application. Is this a typo? Surely any account could beset for NBU Client Service logonso it seems strange that any account other than local system is OK given step 5. Step 4 would make more sense to me without the word 'not'. I suppose what I'm asking in a roundabout way is 'is the local system account OK to have as the NetBackup Client service account?' Cheers, - Tim Wilkinson I.T.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Can a cluster use a SAN media server license to backup bothe physical nodes?
I had a little talk with a veritas tech some months ago about this and he told me that If you install cluster aware media server you must buy full media server license not san media server. However you can use san media server to your cluster and use one of the two tricks to make it work. If you do not want to backup the node disks every day, install san media server to both systems and manually add the device service to your cluster configuration to failover with the application. Add a storage unit group and make the nodes storage units member of the group. Put the storage unit group the storage unit of the cluster policy. But the better way to do it is to write a little script. Make a policy that will backup up your cluster data name it cluster policy. Make two identical schedules but override the storage unit with the node storage units. Name them node1_sched and node2_sched. Make a policy that will start the backup. Let's say it start_cluster_policy. Put the name of the service as the client and storage unit the muster's server disk storage unit (make one) Backup the boot.ini or any other small file. This policy will run in the active node of the cluster. Make a bpstart_notify.start_cluster_policy script at both nodes. The script must have the command bpbackup -i -p cluster_policy -s node1_sched for node1 bpbackup -i -p cluster_policy -s node2_sched for node2 You can backup the nodes disks the usual way. Because you will no't know the server that has the tapes of the backups don't forget to put in the restore failover option of the muster server the names of the two nodes. Node1 - node2 Node2 - node1 Does anyone now how many agent licenses you need to backup an application (exchange - sql .) from an active-passive cluster? One or two?
