[Veritas-bu] reimport image
Speaking of reimport, I've always found it a chore to find the media containing expired images. I remember it being very easy in NetWorker (Legato) as it was simply a matter of running a query of the backup which ID'ed the media, then performing the required import. How does one do query part in NetBackup ?/Steve ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

Thanks guys (Jeff and Joseph) ... what you say regarding the restores make sense. I suppose I went off on a tangent as this discussion reminded me of a similar incident. We were surprised about the unexpected size of a client's incrementals, and later discovered that the full had expired (before the next full), so a subsequent incr was equivalent to a full (almost). /Steve 8 snip 8___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

I would have expected NBU to *keep* the info about the full backup until the subsequent differentials/incrementals have expired, however, I believe that NBU would determine that the cleaned out files from it's DB (expired) have not been backed up, and include them in a subsequent incremental, or whatever is based on that full (fun to track :) /Steve From: veritas-bu-requ...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Veritas-bu Digest, Vol 78, Issue 7 To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2012 12:00:09 -0500 Send Veritas-bu mailing list submissions to veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to veritas-bu-requ...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu You can reach the person managing the list at veritas-bu-ow...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than Re: Contents of Veritas-bu digest...

What happens to an incremental backup whose dependent full has expired. For example A full backup is run and expires in 90 days. 89 Days later an cumulative incremental is run and expires in 30 days. Two days later the Full expires. Is the incremental still useful? If so, to what extent.

I did some bpclntcmd tests and they all come back with the correct name but the IP shows as 127.0.0.1. I added the hostname and real IP to the hosts file with no luck. I tried the following tests: bpclntcmd -pn = correct short name with 127.0.0.1 bpclntcmd -self = correct short name with 127.0.0.1 bpclntcmd -hn pbcobk01 = correct short name with 127.0.0.1 bpclntcmd -ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = correct host and xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx for ip address If I do these test on the current server they come back with the actual IP of the system.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Legato vs. NetBackup
I agree :) and I guess we're lucky because our maximum backup retpd is 2 months (data requiring longer periods are done using more generic utilities like dump and tar). When we switched, we ran on new equipment in parallel with the old (system) until the old media expired. Being locked in to a particular vendor doesn't have a nice feeling (IMHO) especially considering what other users are experiencing with the latest releases etc (my experience was with NBU6.0 up to MP4), and the vendor's ability to make easier pricing changes. /Steve On Wed, 1 Oct 2008, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think what he meant is, in a general sense, you're going to be locked in to pretty much any vendor, not just Symantec/NBU, due to how it operates with the library and tape media. Not very many installed solutions will allow sharing the library, and they definitely won't allow you to share media or servers.

Not just for NetBackup but for most filesystems (including those for terabyte databases). The options one has for controlling things such as buffering, block sizes etc... are important for databases. Moreover since it allows you to grow/shrink filesystems on the fly it is a great tool for Production environments where downtime Is hard to get. Finally since it allows one to do software RAID in environments where hardware RAID isn't available it has that added benefit. Most Sun Solaris shops of any size use VxVM. Many HP HP-UX shops use VxVM even though HP has its own Logical Volume Manager (LVM) but many still use LVM. On Linux most Enterprise folks use LVM which is very much like the one on HP-UX. AIX has one called LVM that I haven't used. Using Windows for very large enterprise class environments simply isn't an option for most folks due to scalability issues.

Hi Boris, While the actual backups of the tarnsaction logs (via the API) ran without problems, because of the activity, and to prevent out of space conditions, we had to do this on a frequent basis (every 8 hrs). We also realized that we required incrementals to catch any unexpected dbid changes (which would invalidate the current backup). What we were hoping to get from the transaction log backups, was point in time recoveries, which we never got to work, possibly because our full/incrementals would run for approximately 48+ hours.

I think what I'm reading here is that no one has done a true 1-to-1 comparison on Tape versus Deduplication / disk. I guess the next question is, what would go into such a comparison? 1) Recovery Point Objective 2) Amount of Data To Be Backed Up 3) Retention 4) Cost of Hardware (Deduplication Appliance w/ Disk) 5) Cost of Hardware (Tape Library) 6) Annual Maintenance on Hardware Above 7) Cost of Media w/ Replacement Figures 8) Cost to power / cool disks (infrastructure) 9) Cost of Network link to remote site for de-dupe 10) Cost of Media Transportation and Storage Price per GB unless factoring in at least all of the above is useless and much of that information depends on configuration. I did such an analysis when we upgraded to NBU6 and considered deduplication this time last year. In my case, many of the features of disk based deduplication weren't applicable to my situation (especially RPO) so tape was easily cheaper. If you are shipping media offsite daily though for a =1 day RPO then deduplication definitely makes a play. Further price per gig on the disk side has been heavily influenced by consumer grade SATA drives at 750gb and 1TB bringing costs way down in comparison to only 1 or 2 years ago.

Not saying you're wrong and I haven't done an analysis but I'd be surprised if disks didn't actually work out to be cheaper over time: 1) Tapes age/break - We buy on average several hundred tapes a year - support on a disk array for failing disks may or may not be more expensive. 2) Transport/storage - We have to pay for offsite storage and transfer - it seems just putting an array in offsite facility would eliminate the need for transportation (in trucks) cost. Of course there would be cost in the data transfer disk to disk but since everyone seems to have connectivity over the internet it might be possible to do this using a B2B link rather than via dedicated circuits. 3) Labor cost in dealing with mechanical failures of robots. This one is hidden in salary but every time I have to work on a robot it means I can't be working on something else.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup monitoring
Can any of these tools monitor for restore tape mounts, *AND* display a list of any additional tapes (with it's Volume Group if it's not in the library) required ? /Steve --- On Fri, 27 Jan 2006, King, Cheryl wrote: That's what OpenView Operations (OVO) does. You run an agent on the NetBackup system to monitor all the log files and the /var/adm/messages. You can monitor processes and lots of other things. You can also use the custom scripts you already have and just use opcmsg to send messages to the OpenView agent. There is also a Smart Plug in (SPI) for NetBackup- I'm not sure what that includes but I believe it's free; downloadable from the HP OpenView website. You can add commands to the Application bank in OpenView to allow the NOC to do Veritas commands. And/Or you can add commands as automatic actions to certain messages like tape drive going DOWN. Brian, Do you use Message Keys? They can easily be used for message correlation at no extra cost, instead of ECS. ECS is only needed for complex correlation.

We're in the process of moving from our 4.5FP8 system to 6.0MP1 (everythin new). The major problem we're seeing, are ERROR 41's as we start loading up the media servers.
