Did your exchange admin maybe mount the rsg to check it? It should be dismounted and not marked as a read only storage group prior to the restore. Exchange restores are always fun, as it is a connection via ESE, so you won't get Netbackup telling you about problems with the data movement. Look

You can shutdown NetBackup services an copy the veritas directory. Do the update and if you want to rollback, uninstall 7.1, install 7.0.1 and after you shutdown NetBackup copy back the veritas directory. stefanos -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu

All From my History of working with NBU, any upgrades I have done have been in this order: Master Media Servers SAN Media Clients So ... why would Symantec be telling a colleage that its ok to oto 6.5.6 on a client and leave Master at 6.5.4 ? Client OS is Wink28 R2 SP1 which cant be backed up

We found this out all on our own, without Symantec's blessing. They came a little late with their 2008 R2 support, so they let this go on for CYA. We were doing this before we went to 7.0.1. When you are caught in the dilemma of getting backups or being supported, well, I choose the former.

If you have the SAN/Server space, what we often do for upgrades and server lease returns is the following. One thing to keep in mind is that our /usr/openv dir is its own mount point. Build an identical server Shutdown NetBackup Copy /usr/openv on original server to new server's /usr/openv

Concern I have is that can you really rely on it. There may be enhancements to the product that the Master knows little about. If you have support with Symantec, and best practice is to follow what I have been doing 10+ years, should that be the best course of action? Of course, That's not to

Good Afternoon, It would be nice if Symantec could design the client to master interface to be more generic, without hurting performance. Put the smarts for handling client differences in the client and not on the master. Then they should be able to handle not only newer client support needs
