Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 7.5.0.3: bprd vnet_cached_getnameinfo() for x.x.x.
It was because they wanted to redesign the reverse lookup zones to ease administration. They had forgotten to mention this and assumed that all clients dynamically registered at reboot in the maintenance weekend when the change was done.

I've been experimenting with this for the last week or so with NetBackup 7.5.0.3, and, no, it does not duplicate the VMDKs on the datastore. It does do a VMware snapshot of the virtual machines being backed up, so you'll need space for those snapshots, with will depend on how much data changing goes on during the backup. For as much data as you're backing up, if you go this route, you may want to consider having a dedicated physical media server with direct SAN access to your datastore LUNs and backup storage (tape?). This will allow NetBackup to do backups with only minimal involvement or load on the VMware hosts. See http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=DOC5162 for more on how this works. - Bluejay Adametz Sometimes it good to pause in our quest for happiness and be happy. -- NOTICE: This message, including any attachments, is only for the use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information, or information otherwise protected from disclosure by law.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup , Vmware and Netapp
Please find my answer :- 1. Do you need to do file level restores of this VM that has these huge number of files? YES, Application owner will very frequently require the files restoration 2. About how many and what kind of files (.avi, .mkv, .jpg, etc.) comprise the "huge number of files"? PDF AND XML 3. What is the retention requirements for the VM? Hours, days, weeks, years? DATA REQUIEMENT IS 8 YEARS RETENTION FOR FULL BACKUP AND 3 MONTHS FOR INCREMENTAL 4. How does the VM see the disks: via Diskstore or RDM? DISKSTORE ONLY As you have suggested Netbackup have a feature for backing up VMDK, But that requires equal amount of space in the datastore. Please correct me if i am wrong.

Do you need to do file level restores of this VM that has these huge number of files? 2. About how many and what kind of files (.avi, .mkv, .jpg, etc.) comprise the "huge number of files"? 3. What is the retention requirements for the VM? Hours, days, weeks, years? 4. How does the VM see the disks: via Diskstore or RDM? Wayne's comment of using the Snap Mirror/Snap Vault is good if you have a second NetApp to snap the data to. This is good for short term data protection especially if that second NetApp is at a offsite facility. NetBackup has a feature that allow you to backup the VMDK file itself (which is very efficient for data streaming) but will actually index the files inside the VMDK allowing for file level restores or restoring the entire VMDK. If you can respond to the questions above, I bet we can come up with options for you. +-- |This was sent by t...@tjsimerson.org via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.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
