Re: [Veritas-bu] 32 KB for BCV Based Tape backup
Please share the File List in your policy as well as where the BCV's are actually mounted. If mount points look something like this: /bcv/bcv1 /bcv/bcv2 ... And your policy specifies /bcv, you need to select 'Cross mount points' in policy attributes. Not selecting this option will backup the mount points and not its contents.

Re: [Veritas-bu] 32 KB for BCV Based Tape backup
Sounds like the bcv devices are not mounted for the streams that report 32KB. So you are backing up the mount point and not the to be filesystem. len -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of NBU Sent: Monday, March 22, 2010 8:23 AM To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: [Veritas-bu] 32 KB for BCV Based Tape backup Hi Forum, My setup has Solaris 10 MASTER/Media on 6.5.5.

Re: [Veritas-bu] 32 KB for BCV Based Tape backup
You are probably running the backup before the bcv's are mounted. A backup of 32kb typically is letting you know you just backed up and empty filesystem. We run a script looking for 32k backups to give us a heads up. It's after the fact but it's something that can slip by if not watched for.

It's after the fact but it's something that can slip by if not watched for. You can also get a 32k backup if you exclude everything under your mount point. Say you do an ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES backup but exclude something like your live databases so you can run special backups for those. You could get a perfectly valid 32k backup for the original backups. This is similar to the questions we see about status 1 completion codes. For some, it's a problem. For others, it isn't. That's why they pay us the big bucks - to figure out which is which. .../Ed Ed Wilts, RHCE, BCFP, BCSD, SCSP, SCSE ewi...@ewilts.org Linkedin http://www.linkedin.com/in/ewilts ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
