The difference being the author of this email was from Symantec and he
was trying to explain the company's philosophy in addition to the dry
facts of the link.

It appears you misread something. He was saying that 6.5 isn't
considered a major release change (being a 6.x like 6.0) so the EOL
wouldn't occur until 7.x. Accordingly there's no reason to talk about
it changing. It might but then again Symantec might go belly up like

I bet Curtis will offer a signed copy.

Thanks to all on this thread.
The below response is where I'll place my stake in the sand.
This is the official answer I got from Veritas support this morning regarding
this:
Hi ,
I have picked up your case.
Originally when Version 6 was bought out the following was published.
There is no bible; the topic is too broad and in flux too much for their
to be a bible, IMHO.
That written, I like (the four year old) Little Chapa Wiley
publication Implementing Backup and Recovery: The Readiness Guide for
the Enterprise, as well as Preston's new O'Riley publication Backup
I believe Dave Little and Dave Chapa are/were frequent visitors. In fact
Curtis's appearance is relatively new, considering how long he's been
doing backups. :) :) IMHO.

Even if he WEREN'T an old friend from way back, I would still be
recommending Curtis' books as a fine starting point:

Just completed the NB6.0.4 upgrade last week.
What a circus. The mixed media-server version stuff didn't work.
Having more than one interface on a media server can lead to strange
results as the dual-routing stuff works itself out.
Really have to have a clean environment - I missed a few
Just out of curiousity, what is the filesystem sizes, and amount of
free space on the filesystems?
Ie, are youbacking up 2TB volumes with 1TB of data?
Or more like 900GB of data on a 1TB volume?
We're getting killed with some boxes that have about 1TB on a 2TB
volume, but millions of files.
It's
Ed,
What cache sizings are you sing for your flashbackups? I have tried letting
backups determine the size as well as modifying the cache size based on
VERITAS's recommendations but was getting 156s' repeatedly. With these concerns
and many other problems we didn't deploy the product as a

Got an usual problem with an alert that I have setup through Netbackup NOM. It
is a cleaning tape alert. I have set up to let me know when the cleaning on
the tapes get down below a certain level. Well, I received a alert on one of
the tapes and have ejected through the NBU console and
There is a way to acknowlege the alert and clear it. Open Nom, go to
monitoring, alerts, details. Find the alert you are getting and check
it. On the left pane find tasks. You can click acknowlege to
acknowlege it and click clear to clear the alert. This should stop you
from getting the alert
Curtis,
I have done the items as you suggested. Still no go. NOM still sees the tape
as active and that is the only thing that I can think of that might be causing
the problem.

I'm glad others recommended the book. It's kind of a tome, but it
covers a ton in backup recovery. It's focus is on cheap ways of doing
things, so you'll find NOTHING in there about NBU. That's the next
book.
David Chapa's book is more NBU-centric if that's
Hi Chris,
We're fairly lucky in that we typically aren't actively writing to our cache
volumes during the backup operation. Our normal operation for many of the
big clients is such that we write to the disk until it's full, then it's
mostly write-locked so that the cache volume doesn't need to
I'm hoping somebody has already worked this case with Veritas/Symantec so I
don't have to.
I've got a FlashBackup policy with about 30 volumes defined and the policy
is currently set to limit backups to 2 jobs per policy. However, when the
parent job starts up, it creates a snapshot for *all*
Dear Friends
I have installed veritas netbackup 6.0 in sunserver v440. Tape library
is sunstore edge C4. When i start the backup , i am getting a error
Error bptm(pid=3904) error requesting media, TpErrno = Robot operation
failed.
I have not installed MP4 also.
Install MP4 - this release is already over 6 months old and the stock 6.0
release is fairly bad. Then explain how you configured the robot, how it's
connected (fibre, SCSI, etc.) and how the OS sees it. If Solaris (you
didn't say which version) doesn't see it, there's nothing NetBackup can do.
Already seen that - can confirm 100% its supported through 2008 :-) !
I personally dont see that many that have upgraded to 6.0 and most may wait
for 6.5. however, how stable this will be remains to be seen
something official to be published when 6.5 gets released !
Regards
Simon
