NetBackup 5.1 MP6 - going to
Hi,
I have NB 6 MP5.
it got rid of the problems I had with MP4 but now it give me the following
every second:

/usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/mpn1/118600/NT_MTL_1186459054_INCR.f.Z
any ideas?
Have you tried decompressing it manually? If nothing else it might give you an
idea as to why it can't be decompressed. It might work and stop the message. :)

That isn't by any chance the same image that's not decompressing is it?
Oh man, that would suck big time.
Did you do complete backup and restore tests after upgrading to MP5?

I'm not sure what the core is, but if you are backing up the disk
files or data that resides on the master / host then you have to specify
that host name in the policy. If you want data on the virtual disks
(not the virtual disks themselves) then you have to install the NBU
client on the virtual

I'm trying to restore data to a remote master server of data that was
backed up here. My plan is to take a backup, fedex the media to the
remote site and copy the image files to the site into the images folder.
I'm testing this now, and I can see the server in the backup
No That is not it.
I am backing up the virtual clients just fine, using standard NetBackup
procedures.
I want to backup the actual servers C drive, not one of the VMWARE
client's.
I believe I am just using the wrong terminology.
It is not even getting connected, because it keeps
Sorry about not understanding VMWARE.
Rumba is the actual real server name.
Rumba3 is virtual machine 1
Fiesta is virtual machine 2.
Rumba3 and Fiesta backup just fine.

Ok... so
Host_1 -- Virtual Machine 1
Host_1 -- Virtual Machine 2
Host_1 -- Virtual Machine 3
Verify that Host_1 (in my example above) is in DNS and make sure you
specify host_1 in your policy with the C:. I'd also make sure you
exclude the directories with your virtual machines in them.
Whoops - forgot to set the failover restore server.
Now I'm getting - requested media id was not found in the EMM database
Will a phase 1 import of the media take care of this?

The proper way to do this is importing the media on the master server
you are doing the restore at.

No - I think he is saying he has no issues backing up the virtual

In that case there is no C

6.0 (and 5.1 and probably earlier) have Linux clients but they're

I don't believe that any NBU client exists that has hooks into vmfs.

There is no ESX client per say, but in 6.0 Veritas did have a Linux

server name and IP address in a host file on that ESX server if you

First off, I am assuming you are running VMWARE Workstation 5.X which, as
far as I know only runs on Windows systems. (There may be a Linux version
that I do not know about.)
That said. Are you able to do nslookups from the client (read Rumba) to
the NetBackup server by IP address
There's no ESX server client - that said, I don't know about 6.5 or what

with a solution, VCB (VMWare Consolidated Backup). That's probably what

The 5.1 redhat client will definitely work on an ESX box, and in conjunction
with the vmbk.pl script located below you can backup your vmdk files hot. I
don't know about 6.x though, but should be the same case.
