Where do you define fragment size for NDMP storage units? There is no such option available for NDMP units when I bring up its properties in the GUI. -G ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
Re: [Veritas-bu] 2 questions about NDMP
#1 You can't multiplex NDMP backups, so you need multiple tape drives to run multiple parallel streams. Also, you need to increment the maximum jobs per client in your master's global attributes to a value greater than, or equal to the number of streams you want to run concurrantly, and finally, if you have mulitiple streams configured in the same policy, you must either uncheck the limit number of jobs per policy option in that policies attributes, or check it and set the value greater than, or equal to, the number of concurrant streams you want to run. #2 is correct. NDMP backups should *NOT* be fragmented. You can do an NDMP backup to a STU with a set fragment size, but you may not be able to restore.the backup and restore complete with Status 0, but no data is restored. Same goes if you do an NDMP backup to a NON-fragmented STU, then Vault or bpduplicate to a fragmented STUyou will not be able to restore from the duped imagehowever, if you have fragmented images that you are not able to restore from, you can duplicate that image to another STU without a frag size set and it will reassemble the image with fragments, and you will be able to restore/recover from the new image.

First of all are you looking to do multiple jobs in parallel or just do multiple volumes or qtrees. In the ndmp policy you can list multiple volumes or qtrees in the policy with optional new stream statements. You can also define multiple policies with one or more volumes or qtrees in each policy. So you could have policy-netapp1-vol0 /* for vol0 */ Then policy-netapp2-vol1 /* for vol1 */ Orpolicy-netapp2-vol-xyz /* for flex vol xyz */ These names are just made up, but they should give you the idea. It all depends on what you want. I have not looked at question 2 for a while, so with a fuzzy memory I will say yes. Remember the netapp is doing the backup and it does not know from netapp's fraq's. netbackup does have the netapp put netbackup labels on the tape. len -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tschida, Tom (STP) Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 6:57 PM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] 2 questions about NDMP All, Hopefully these are two quick and easy NDMP questions for the group: 1) How do I enable multiple jobs per filer with NDMP? 2) In a Dell tech doc, it specifies setting the max fragment size per NDMP storage unit to 0.
