[Veritas-bu] Duplication question

Hey crew, I'm not sure if this is possible, but is NetBackup Vault capable of: * taking a backup image on tape ABC123 * duplicating the image to some other volume (say ABC124) * promoting the copy on ABC124 to primary * automatically deleting the original backup on ABC123 so that my only

ftp for root user is disabled by default on Solaris. Look for file called ftpusers under /etc/ftpd. If 'root' appears on the 1st line, ftp as root is disabled. Comment out this line. Test first by doing ftp from master to client. If that works, the push-install using ftp method will work.

I don't know much about vault, but can you create a special storage unit with only 4 or 6 tapes to write the duplications to? I.e. write your backups to a storage unit with 80 drives, but only let vault duplicate to a storage unit with 4 drives? We do something similar to what you are doing here

You can set the expiration(in hours) after a successful duplication of the original images in the duplication step in vault. There is a check box at the bottom and a field to set the number of hours of either disk or tape images. ( You might have to select the advanced configuration) This will

With that info I would start looking at your drives. You know that if the drives are configured wrong what you said happed will happen. If nb load the tape on drive 2 but the server is looking for it in drive 3 then they think there is an issue and will freeze the tape. So do some

I agree, lifecycle is better as it will guarantee what you have requested to happen will happen before the images will expire. If you have a vault process fail, you may not get the images duplicated if you don't rerun it manually. All you'll have to do in Vault is setup the eject. Rusty Major,
