Hello. Is there a way to have Netbackup 6.0 MP4 @ Solaris generate a list of *ALL* the media it knows about on the command line? When I go to the Java admin GUI - Media and Device Management - Media, I see all the media the Netbackup system knows about. Even those tapes, which aren't currently

[Veritas-bu] Tape errors

2007-05-02 Thread Hindle, Greg
nb 5.0 mp7 Solaris 9 does anyone have a script that scans the logs for tapes that are getting read / write errors? I had a bunch of drives go offline the other night and it could be due to a bad tape or tapes and was wondering if anyone had a script that they run to scan for this condition.

This concerns UNIX: I need to look this up but was wondering if anyone knew off the top of their head how to make NetBackup backup what a symlink points to or if that is even possible? I know about the cross-link option but that concerns mounts and filesystems, not sym-links. Justin.

Hi Justin NetBackup always backs up symbolic links as symbolic links, so if you want to backup the data the symbolic link points to you have to provide the physical path to data. Cheers Ueli Schweizer CTO AGITE Software Zurich . West Palm Beach . London Swiss Headquarter: AGITE Software AG .

GNU tar, find and cpio all have ways to follow symbolic links to get the real files to which they point. However I don't know of a way to tell a NBU policy to use that option for the modified GNU tar it uses for backups. (You could do it at command line but then it would not be a netbackup

how to make NetBackup backup what a symlink points Correct if I'm wrong, but I'd say even if this is possible( would be follow the symlinks option for tar, which NBU basicaly use ), it would be an exception which we'd have to explicitly specify. After all a symlink is a file on it's own and
