Re: [Veritas-bu] Question regarding (71) none of the files in the filelist exist
Not sure why it missed it, but from my understanding of the include / exclude list formats *.vmx should be all you need in your include list to backup any .vmx file anywhere on that system that is on a filesystem you have selected. I use this same entry well almost in my exludes. *.dbf This prevents the .dbf files from being backed up regardless of the file system the dba's have moved them to.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Recover from hot catalog secondary copy
This is the steps to restore from hot catalog backups. This works from 6.0GA through 6.5GA I have not tried it yet on 6.51 I use multiple copies in my hot catalog policy, the Media are written at the same time in my catalog backup I do not duplicate the hot catalog backups with my duplication jobs. I keep one on-site and one off-site. For DR I restore from the off-site copy. My hot catalog policy also creates a DR-image on disk and it gets attached to my recovery report emails. X00919 is primary copy. X01011 is secondary copy. VltCat-Backup-1 is my hot catalog backup policy. snetbu1 is my master server. Following this procedure you should be able to restore from primary or secondary copy. This is from my recovery report for my vault session. I have used this in DR testing and it works every time. - You should create a detailed disaster recovery plan to follow should it become necessary to restore your organization's data in the event of a disaster. A checklist of required tasks can be a tremendous tool in assisting associates in triage. For example, after the facility is safe for data to be restored, the power and data infrastructure need to be verified. When these tasks are completed, the following scenarios will help to quickly restore the NetBackup environment, and in turn, restore applications and data. Disaster Recovery Procedure using duplicated Storage Unit Images 1. Install NetBackup. 2. Configure the devices necessary to read the media listed above. 3. Inventory the media. 4. Run one of these: bpimport -create_db_info [-server name] -id X00919 bpimport -create_db_info [-server name] -id X01011 5. Run: bpimport -policy VltCat-Backup-1 -cn copy number 6. If recovering from other than the primary copy Run: bpchangeprimary -copy copy number -pn VltCat-Backup-1 7. Run: bprecover -r -nbdb 8. Run bprestore -T -w [-L progress_log] -C snetbu1 -t 35 -p VltCat-Backup-1 -X -s 120126 -e 120126 / Disaster Recovery Procedure without the DR Image File NOTE: ONLY ATTEMPT THIS AS A LAST RESORT If you do not have the attachment included with this email, use the following instructions to recover your catalog: 1. Install NetBackup. 2. Configure the devices necessary to read the media listed above. 3. Inventory the media. 4. Run one of these: bpimport -create_db_info [-server name] -id X00919 5. Go to the following directory to find the DR image file VltCat-Backup-1_120126_UBAK: G:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\db\images\snetbu1\120100\tmp 6. Delete the other files in the directory. 7. Open VltCat-Backup-1_120126_UBAK file and find the BACKUP_ID (for example: snetbu1_120126). 8. Run: bpimport [-server name] -backupid snetbu1_120126 9. Run: bprestore -T -w [-L progress_log] -C snetbu1 -t 35 -p VltCat-Backup-1 -X -s 120126 -e 120126 / 10. Run the BAR user interface to restore the remaining image database if the DR image is a result of an incremental backup. NOTE: This backup has multiple copies enabled, you may need to change primary images with the following command. bpchangeprimary -copy number -pn VltCat-Backup-1 [-sd mm/dd/ [ HH:MM:SS ] ] [-ed mm/dd/ [ HH:MM:SS ] ] 11. To recover the NetBackup relational database, run: bprecover -r -nbdb 12. Stop and Start NetBackup 13. Configure the devices if any device has changed since the last backup. 14. To make sure the volume information is updated, inventory the media to update the NetBackup database.

Anybody who is root/Administrator on a NetBackup master can push any file to any client any time they want via a backup/restore command. Removing bpgp only makes it take a few minutes instead of a few seconds. Other complaints about it over the years have been that it doesn't check for like/like. You can overwrite a directory with a file if you tell it to. For example, the following command would be VERY BAD! WRONGWAY# bpgp to client /etc/hosts /etc #DON'T DO THIS While this would be perfectly valid syntax with copy, cp, rcp, mv, etc, it is NOT proper syntax with bpgp. The command above would overwrite the /etc DIRECTORY with /etc/hosts, which, of course, would not be good for your client. (Some have even overwritten their root mount point.) Perhaps they got too many calls from people that did just that. Of course, about five lines of code could have fixed that problem. It doesn't allow you to copy a directory, but it doesn't check if what you're copying to is a directory. A simple check that the target file is or is not a directory would have sufficed. If it was a directory, it could just exit with error. But they chose instead to just pretend the command didn't exist. It's not documented; there's not even a Usage statement in the command itself, even if you do strings.

Removing bpgp only makes it take a few minutes instead of a few seconds. Other complaints about it over the years have been that it doesn't check for like/like. You can overwrite a directory with a file if you tell it to. For example, the following command would be VERY BAD! WRONGWAY# bpgp to client /etc/hosts /etc #DON'T DO THIS While this would be perfectly valid syntax with copy, cp, rcp, mv, etc, it is NOT proper syntax with bpgp. The command above would overwrite the /etc DIRECTORY with /etc/hosts, which, of course, would not be good for your client. (Some have even overwritten their root mount point.) Perhaps they got too many calls from people that did just that. Of course, about five lines of code could have fixed that problem. It doesn't allow you to copy a directory, but it doesn't check if what you're copying to is a directory. A simple check that the target file is or is not a directory would have sufficed. If it was a directory, it could just exit with error. But they chose instead to just pretend the command didn't exist. It's not documented; there's not even a Usage statement in the command itself, even if you do strings. If you call support and complain they tell you it's not supported. +-- |This was sent by [EMAIL PROTECTED] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [EMAIL PROTECTED

Not sure where it is set at but there is an option to backup the files that the symlinks point to instead of the symlink.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Preventing duplication from using tapes
You can change the media from those servers to a different (duplater) media pool and modify your duplication process to not duplicate that pool I do that here, I duplicate 10% of our servers data and send the original tapes from the other 90% offsite. It just takes customizing the duplication selections. To duplicate the that tapes you wish to duplicate at a later time create a separate duplication job that only selects the duplater pool.

The best way would be to write the image to a disk staging storage unit - it's then available for restores as well as dupes at the same time. The next choice would to be to write the image to a different media pool and schedule a manual duplication at a different time than your standard duplications. I think either would solve your issue. The one thing you have to watch out for is that you don't unnecessarily delay that duplication - after all, it's your production data that you're protecting.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Need some help
Symantec could make this easier on a lot of us if we could actually access the database. So far I haven't tried getting the database userid or password from them but those would make fixing some of this type of problem nice. I had over 100 media that showed they were assigned but they were not in the emm database. I could find no way to deassign them or make them usable again even though they all had 0 images on them. I spent months on this issue (not a lot of time during the months due to having lots of spare media.) but if I had access to the database it would have been resolved in 30 minutes.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Backing up a SAN
If you find a way let me know. I have 1 master, 1 media and 5 san media servers. The san media servers are way too stressed during the backup of their millions of small files. On some of our database servers we use clone drives at the san level and we snap the clones off and attach them to the master server and the media server and back them up as local drives. Once all backups are done for the night we snap them back to the original machines to be resynchronized with the primary disk. I experimented with a small 100 mb lun between the media server and the master server and windows did not see the changes on the media server that were made to the drive on the master server. Only way to get it to see the changes was to remove the lun mapping and re attach it. I think you will find that you will lose a lot of data doing such an operation in real life.

Ok now that a few people have upgraded to NBU 6.5 how many of you had reporting/monitoring software besides NOM that broke. In other words cant connect to the database to collect data need for reporting? Our corporate office uses Bocata to do monitoring/reporting and since I upgraded to NBU 6.5 they can no longer gat the info they need/want from my master server.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Error 41 on Catalog Backup using NBU 6.0MP4?
Try increasing your network timeouts. Since I added 400 day retention to my catalogs and log files (Blame The Auditors) I have had to increase my timeouts at least twice in the last year. I know it sounds funny to need to increase them on the master server when the master server is backing up the catalog but it made a difference.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Error 41 on Catalog Backup using NBU 6.0MP4?
CLIENT_READ_TIMEOUT to the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file and set it to increase the timeout interval. Make sure all recommended NetBackup patches are installed. Check the Symantec support Web site for current patch information. (Go to www.support.veritas.com. Then select NetBackup followed by files and updates.) Run the NetBackup Configuration Validation Utility (NCVU) for the associated NetBackup nodes. Note the pack checks in section two. Add the CLIENT_READ_TIMEOUT values to the master server, media server, and client when a NetBackup database extension product is installed. The values should all be the same for each server. The value set is dependent on the size of the database being backed up. See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume II, for more information on CLIENT_READ_TIMEOUT. Make sure enhanced authentication is configured correctly. For example, the following may result in status code 41: host A is configured to use enhanced authentication with host B, but host B is not configured to use enhanced authentication with host A. In this case, connections from host B to host A are likely to fail with status code 41. Connections from host A to B are likely to fail with authentication errors (status code 160).

Re: [Veritas-bu] Has anyone run a database consistency check recently?
In windows you can run this command. C:\Program Files\VERITAS\netbackup\bin\bpdbm -consistency f:\catalog.consistency.txt On a *nix machine it should still be the same command While it checks the catalog it will move corrupt entries to C:\Program Files\VERITAS\netbackup\db.corrupt and your catalog backups will complete. Using this command to do the consistency check and fix it does not delete the corrupt entries so if a fix for the corrupt entries ever happen you still have them. On our catalog it takes approxamately 2 hours to run. Our catalog is 60+ gigs.

We send that through to Symantec to produce a report, which we receive back. We have two NetBackup 6.0 environment, and both are reporting that we have inconsistencies in our catalog. Has anyone else run this utility and obtained a report from Symantec. In one of our report, it stats that of the 375000 images that we have, about 4700 of them could be lost due to being overwritten.

Is there any way to conver while inporting catalogs? I suspect that answer is no but I wanted to ask you experts out there... 2) When we do backups we do have primary copy and then we send a duplicate tapes offiste... so I did have two copies in catalog tape lets say 1 and tape 00037, when I did select files to recover it said it was waiting for tape 1 and did not even look for tape 00037, so we did go and expired tape 1 and then it was able to read tape 00037. Is there any way not to have do that? What if tape 00037 was bad and I requested tape 1 to be delivered and my catalog is already expired, I would then have to scan my tape or reimport my catalog I guess but that is stupid if you ask me...

Re: [Veritas-bu] pb restoring system_state of Windows 2000 SP4
I believe the way you need to do that if you are not doing BMR is to install your indiws into a different folder than the origional folder. Instead of winnt or windows try installing the fresh install of windows into a folder called restore. What happens is if you are using the origional paths then as you restore you overwrite files that are critical and will cause that issue.

Dave, I ended up doing the following steps 1 - Down the library and powering it off 2 - Removed all drives and robots from master server and all media servers. 3 - Stopped ALL NBU services on master and all media servers. 4 - On master server and all media servers I Deleted all files under the following paths. \Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\db\media\drives\ \Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\db\media\media\ \Program Files\VERITAS\Volmgr\misc\ 5 - Bring the library back up 6 - Start all NBU services on master server and all media servers. 7 - recreate all drives and robots. ( I used the gui wizard to do this ) 8 - Inventory the library to re-add all media to the robot config. This seemed to work for my SCSI Reserve errors.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Determining Number of Additional Client LicensesinNetBackup
Unless you used something like esxranger to backup the vmware server instances to a physical machine then used the existing license to backup the images. Esxranger is licensed per cpu of the esx box. If it has 4 cpus you would need to license 4 to backup that esx box.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Determining Number of Additional Client LicensesinNetBackup
You can not backup running vm virtual machines one a esx box by backing up the linux side of the esx box. The only way to backup them up via netbackup is to purchase a license for each vm virtual machine. In your example of 10 linux vm virtual machines and 10 windows vm virtual machines you will need 10 linux and 10 windows licenses for netbackup to back them up. We have 8 esx servers running here and some I use esxranger to back them up but most of the virtual machines we want file level restore capability so we had to purchase the netbackup licenses.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Status Code 29 - Oracle Database Backup
Have you checked the help for result codes yet? This is what it says for 26 Under problem A command could not be executed. This can occur because the permissions of the command do not allow it to be executed, or there is lack of system resources such as memory and swap space. Under troubleshoot Try the following: 1. Check the NetBackup All Log Entries report for clues on where and why the failure occurred. 2. Check the permissions on the command to be executed. 3. For detailed troubleshooting information, create a debug log directory for the process that returned this status code, retry the operation, and check the resulting debug log.

Re: [Veritas-bu] New technote for Windows NetBackup Masters
Yes, I found that nice little bug during my backup window for a volume that can only be backed up during a very tight time period, when setting up a special backup policy for a few of our servers that require specific date backups. Once the files are installed though it does not fix it again. So now when I create new date related backups I don't have all my running jobs fail.

When such a calendar component is accessed, it triggers Windows to verify the presence of all the files that are included in the NetBackup installation. If any of these files are missing, Windows will automatically launch the installer to repair such missing files. As a part of the repair, the installer will automatically terminate any NetBackup services. This will result in the immediate termination of any active backup or restore jobs.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP with EMC Clariion
Doesn't look like ndmp is an option without using emc's backup software and some more of their hardware. Even though EMC say's not to do this, I may play with mounting disk to both the original server and the backup server at the same time, change the backup policy to not reset archive bit and see if I break something. I have a spare 500gb fiber attached drive to play with on my master server, will attach it to my media server see if I trash the drive with some sort of script doing continuous file writes while I do a backup. Worse case is I have to rebuild the drive.

The solution we found previously, before this last Sunday the 11th, was to reboot the master server. Unfortunately, now rebooting does not seem to help. bpbackup -i -p policy does nothing. No jobid is assigned and no jobs are showing up in the Activity Monitor. In fact, bperror -U -backstat -by_statcode -hoursago 48 shows that no jobs have gone off for the last 2 days. We are at 6.0 MP4 on all of our systems, and the DST patches were applied awhile back. All system time is correct. Since this issue has happened before the DST thing, I am thinking this is something else altogether, but no logs show anything of any use that I can see, and the front-line support folks have not had any clues at all. I see from the Reports-Problems that the consistent error appears to be connected to the issue: get_string() failed - premature end of file encountered (5) could not process request The error is repeated for each job that would normally fire off. So, the logs are filled with thousands of the repeated error message. Anyone else seen anything like this or have any ideas?

[Veritas-bu] Adding second master server NBU 6.0 MP4
I am in the process of building a new server to act as a second master server in NBU 6.0 MP4. Can more than one master server share the same EMM database server? Or would I be better off to have separate EMM databases for each master server? I have plans to partition my Adic Scalar I2000 in to two partitions and split the drives and tape slots 60/40 between the two masters. Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Veritas-bu] status 202, 205, 219 and 58
What I found out when I was getting tthese errors was someone on the network was doing scans of the servers for hardware and software and it was doing reset on the network card and sometimes on the HBA's on the master server and the media servers. We had them block scans on the netbackup master and media servers and the problem went away on master and three of the media servers. The forth media server was a different story. I still had one server that sometimes has an issue but it is one of those 900 million small files on 2 1tb and 5 500gb luns. The error I see is network error, but I really suspect the cpu and memory usage creats a long delay for data communication and netbackup thinks the network went down. Even if the network went down the backup should continue since this is a san media server with fiber connections to the sso drives. What fixed this server was to break up the drives into multiple streams so that the file list was not so large as to cause memeory swapping to disk.

That's just it; NetBackup is not doing anything abnormal here (a.k.a. it's operating as designed given the environment it's running in). There's nothing we can do at the software level to fix performance bottlenecks at the filesystem level; it'll operate as quickly as the system calls allow it to. Every problem you brought up can be traced back to this one core issue. Think of it this way: if you fill your gas tank with the wrong type of petrol and as a result the vehicle starts sputtering, when you bring it to the mechanic, they'll make the assessment that the engine is working as well as it can given the circumstances. The problem is the petrol, not the engine. 1. I could have a problem with my db, but if the bpdbm -consistency 2 check wont finish who can I tell? If the bpdbm -consistency 2 check hangs, again how can I tell whats wrong? Like I said previously, bpdbm -consistency is the tool... we don't have alternate tools or anything like that (what's the point in re-inventing the wheel?). You only other option is to manually check each and every image for oddities. And even then there's no guarantee you'll spot the corruption if it exists because over half of your images files are going to be in binary format, which is impossible to examine using your eyeballs. 2. Maybe I haven?t been clear with my problem. The bpdbm processes don?t go away, they are always there and are always working with something... So how can I move on? I didn't find any evidence that bpdbm was caught in an infinite loop. All PID's are making progress with their respective tasks, albiet slow progress. I even checked to make sure the bpdbm's weren't stepping on each other's feet. They're all doing seperate tasks independently of each other, and no process was performing a redundant task that another bpdbm was processing. All evidnce points to file-read operations taking a lot of time to complete, and that's a problem that can be fixed by an application. Let's say for the sake of argument we could change NetBackup's behavior so that it doesn't spawn so many processes at once (which isn't actually possible, but let's just assume for a second). Will that solve the problem? No. It will still have to perform the same number of operations because it still has to go through the same data set as in the present situation. In fact, the process might be made *worse* not better, because the entire operation would in fact take longer. Disabling it entirely is not possible under NetBackup without shutting down bpdbm entirely (and it would be a bad idea anyways as the images cleanup process is vital for the application to function), which means of course then just about nothing would work under NetBackup. You will get no backups, and defintely no restores. So in summary, you have to wait until it finishes on its own. If the process takes more than 12 hours to complete, that means you're really stuck. Absolutely nothing can be done at the software level until something is done with the images database or the filesystem it resides on is fixed. 4. Our db is about 60-65 GB, there are netbackup customers with much bigger nbu databases. And this should by a enterprise solution and therefore be able to handle this payload. Not many customers have as many individual images. Keep in mind here that there's more to this than how much data am I backing up. If the bulk of your backups are Oracle RMAN, then the number of inodes in your environment increases dramaticly. I can almost always tell the difference between RMAN backups and regular

You can change the expiring of tapes by backup id using the following
commands:
bpimagelist -l -d mm/dd/yy -e mm/dd/yy | grep IMAGE | awk '{print
bpexpdate -recalculate -backupid $6 -ret 9 yes}'
command_script_to_run
you need to create a file called yes with one line with the word y.
This is required because bpimagelist prompt for a yes.
The -ret 9 is to set the backup to infinite. This command will set the
backup to infinite regardless of how many tapes the image is on.

Ken

We have just shut down one datacenter and we are moving the backup
server and tapes to a separate location. Is there an easy way to set
all the tapes by media_id to infinite with just one running of the
command instead of listing every single media_id? Thanks.

Re: [Veritas-bu] SSO configuration
You can share the HBA's that are connected to the san but create a seperate zone for the master/media servers to the tape drives. We have an ADIC I2000 with 12 drives 700 slots 1 Master Server 4 San Media Servers, They share the same HBA's with the San. We have seperate zones for San and zones for the Adic.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 6, MP4 Anyone had issues with hot backup email notifications?
I had that same problem after applying MP4 I found my notification cmd files were moved to C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\goodies.6.0 and new ones were placed in the bin folder. I just copied the original cmd files back to the bin folder for it to work. If you are using unix master servers the files should still be backed up in path under bin.

Apologies if this has already been discussed; I've been off for a week or so and can't see any obvious thread regarding this. Since applying MP4, it seems my master no longer sends out notifications; either scripted ones or hot backup recovery emails. I've applied MP4 to Masters on 2 different networks, and they both suffer from the same issue. Has anyone else had this issue? Cheers, - Tim Wilkinson I.T.

[Veritas-bu] Disabling File list / size estimate on backups.
Is there a way to disable the file list estiimate for file number and size that happens before a backup begins? I have a NB 6.0 MP3 media server with approx 50 million files and 3 TB of disk. It is taking over 30 hours to back up the system, part of that 36 hours is file list building that takes over 11 hours on one of the drives and over 13 hours on one of the other drives. This makes daily backups impossible. If I can disable the estimates the backups should complete in less than 24 hours. I don't have a problem if the media server runs 24/7 backing up files. I just can't see it taking over 24 hours. Media server is backing up local fiber attached data drives. The media server is win2k3 server Netbackup Enterprise server 6.0 MP3 The library is an ADIC Scalar I2000 with 12 LTO2 drives and 700 slots. Drives and robot are fiber attached to the media server. Fiber zones are split. Data Drives use one zone. Library / Tape drives use a different zone.
