Re: [Veritas-bu] Email restore using NBU?? Please help!! :(
Justin, On the attributes page of the policy if you have Enable granular restore checked, and if the DB backup completed without errors you should be able to open the DB backup and browse through it. However if that is not the case then you have some interesting times ahead. Yes, you can do all sorts of strange and exotic Exchange things, or you could invest around $400 in a software package called Kernel for Exchange Server Recovery. This allows you to parse through exchange EDB files and export to a PST. Using that you can restore the EDB anywhere you want and plunder through it.

[Veritas-bu] Strange '83' errors
I just completed a NBU 6 - 7 upgrade last week and now I'm getting '83' errors 'Image Cleanup' jobs. The error points to a directory name that doesn't and as far as I can tell has never existed. I do not do any backups to disk. I can't even see where this directory name is referred to. I looked online and saw comments that I shoudl create the directory , let it run a couple of times, then run the 'nbdelete -allvolumes -force' command, but I'm a little reluctant until I know where this path is at least getting defined. **Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

[Veritas-bu] Problem with Restoring from Tape without having BAR CODE
Dear All, Recently we are having a problem while restoring DATA from old TAPE. We took BACKUP suing Dell Native 400/800 GB LTO 3 Tape, We used SUN C2 Autoloder with 16 Slot(It has BAR CODE Reader) In general we used this TAPE without having a single problem, but in last month when we user a bunch of new TAPE for taking backup, none of those tape having BAR Code printed on it. So, we used those tapes for taking backup, but at the time of restoring when we re inserted the TAPE, media id getting changed every time. For Eg. Before backup it's A00021, and the same tape while we re-insert for restore, media id getting changed to A00022, and same thi9ng happens on every single tape without having bar code But while using a TAPE with Bar Code, everything went smooth. So we are failed to restored anything from the TAPE. We are lucky enough that we found this problem on restore drill. We don't realized this problem earlier. So, is there any way with which we can change the Meadia ID of an old TAPE, to restore? We need a solution, coz there are 2-3 tape we used for Monthly backup those don't have any bar code, if any of those tape are required for restore in future, then we will be failed.. :( Any help will be appreciated.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Problem with Restoring from Tape without having BARCODE
When you put tapes into the library without a barcode, run vmphyinv to automatically mount each tape and inventory based on its media header. That will fix your robot inventory issue, and make those media available for restore. You might want to remove the media with barcodes from the library during this operation because it takes a while to mount each media in the library to scan the header. -Jonathan -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Saugata Sent: Monday, August 09, 2010 4:15 AM To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: [Veritas-bu] Problem with Restoring from Tape without having BARCODE Dear All, Recently we are having a problem while restoring DATA from old TAPE.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Problem with Restoring from Tape without having BARCODE
Every tape that goes into the lib without a bar code will get a new name. System default is A# So the first one will be A1 The second one is A2 If you take A1 out and put it back in again it will be called A3 - because the lib sees it as an unknown tape and does not know it had a previous number. This is why it is NOT a good idea to use tapes in a lib without barcodes. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Martin, Jonathan Sent: Monday, August 09, 2010 12:10 PM To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Problem with Restoring from Tape without having BARCODE When you put tapes into the library without a barcode, run vmphyinv to automatically mount each tape and inventory based on its media header.

Hello all, I have received a couple questions regarding the new position I sent Friday for my client's 7.0 upgrade. To clarify: Location: Quantico, VA Duration: 2+ months Requirement: NBU subject matter expert with some exposure to 7.0. A completed implementation of 7.0 is not required (6.5 is). We need someone who would be comfortable enough with NBU to walk through the upgrade. They MUST have an active TS clearance from the DoD. Pay: NAME YOUR PRICE! (within reason) travel will be paid for out of town candidates. Because of the security you must work on-site during the week. Let me know if you have any questions and thanks for your time, Ryan J.

There is the process of using a Recovery Storage Group. Where you set it up for one storage group like SG1-1 Then restore just that storage group and the logs. Then you can use exmerge to extract out just that one persons mailbox ( either merge to current mailbox or out to a pst) If out to a pst then you open it like an archive, move the item you are looking for to the main mailbox then remove the pst.

Re: [Veritas-bu] windows 2008 cluster backups
To add to Ed's response, with Windows 2008 you will also need a job for each service or application (or a entry in a job for each service) configured in your cluster unless you have turned strict name checking off (on by default). Strict name checking means that only connections made through the virtual server name can see the resources (e.g. disks) assigned to the service. An Example Say you have a clustered file server called File_Server which has multiple file server services named accounting_files and sales_files, your Netbackup policy may look something like this: Clients: Accounting_files Sales_files Backup Selections: All_Local_Drives Regards, Brendan Clover Information Technologist Systems Infrastructure University of South Australia Phone: +61 8 830 23641 Fax: +61 8 830 25800 Log your own service calls here: http://www.unisa.edu.au/helpdesk AskIT documentation and FAQs: http://www.unisa.edu.au/askithttp://www.unisa.edu.au/ists/ITHelpDesk/FAQS/ --- This e-mail may be privileged and/or confidential, and the sender does not waive any related rights and obligations.

The backup job (which mean Backup Exec Backup Job) is scheduled daily. The other server (server B) doesn't have its own backup drive and now I want to back it up by using the backup drive of server A. In my opinion, there are 2 kinds of backup strategies. First, server B shares the files directories to be backed up to server A and let server A access the shared files directories and back them up using server A's backup job. The second strategy is to run the backup job from server B and let server B gain the access to server A's backup drive for its own backup job. Please correct me if I'm wrong. The question is, how can I do the second strategy explained above? Please provide me some information documentation for sharing the backup drive of one's server to another server. Thank you for helping. -- Best Regards, Adrian ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu http://www.optimacomputer.com ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
