To each his own, of course, but I believe the one client per policy setup is
actually just as easy, if not easier to manage than the multiple clients per

If you're using the VTL, all you really have to do is re-label the tapes in
NBU after they're expired. That tells DD that it can erase the rest of
what's on the tape. That's the case with any VTL.
If you're using the file interface, it deletes the files for you when they
expire.

Actually, TOP said he had backed up to an EDL/3DL (EMC Quantum box).
Jeff (Kaplan),
Is it possible to use tape shadowing on the replicated system, so that the
backup to one virtual tape, replicate to another virtual tape, then eject
that virtual tape to create a physical tape?
You make some good points, Bob.

Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] How to properly calculate the Catalog
That formula in the manual
Todd,
That formula in the manual is completely worthless. I can't believe they
still publish it. The SIZE of the data you're backing up has NOTHING to do
with the size of the index. What matters is the number of files or objects.
I could backup a 200 TB database with a smaller NBU
If you ask me, you should be considering the OST interface, not the VTL
interface. It will give you a bigger boost in performance than the VTL
interface will, from what they've been publishing lately.
In addition, in a few months, OST will support copying to tape via OST.
You'll get better
I guess my question is to question the requirement to do this. I've never
been a fan of special backups going to special tapes. I'm relatively OK
with segregating backups (e.g. Oracle on its own tapes, etc), but who cares
what backups go to what tapes? Just let NBU put it on whatever tape it
Good point.

And IMHO, anyone with a retention policy should also have a relabeling
policy. When a tape goes into scratch, you should have a script relabel it.
If you do this on a regular basis, you're protected. If all you do is
expire it without relabeling it, a savvy plaintiff could ask you to
re-import
Agreed. Simply relabeling the tape puts a EOD (END OF DATA) mark after the
label. Every expert I've ever talking to says that getting past that is
impossible. Therefore, my TECHNICAL opinion is that relabeling a tape falls
under the 'reasonable man' standard for making sure a tape is unreadable

automatically figure out what hasn't been copied and copy it.
If you are willing to pay for an extra-price product, Vault is very good
and will automate everything and give you a bunch of options.

not
SPAM, and accept or reject it appropriately. All it would take is one
or two people who are a little more home-bodied than me (I travel
constantly which often introduces very long delays on the approval
process.)
Anyone interested?

Is it just the idea of a virtual volume that you don't like, or do you
have another volume manager you like? Last time I looked, the dynamic
disks functionality in Windows is based on a stripped down version of
VxVM.

Actually, you're wrong here. NetBackup allows you to create a policy now
but not set it to go active until some point in the future. I've used
this and it works well.
I'm familiar with that and do it all the time, but I don't like it here.
First, what if I want to do this to an existing
. A good archive
system does not unless you tell it to.

Riverbed, if you're listening, you haven't made a friend today by using
my website to post SPAM, but I am willing to listen if you want to
convince me otherwise.

I actually think it was the filelist entry and not the shutting down
that made it work. Did you try the changed filelist with the systems
up? (You do need to snapshot them, though.)

I'm almost positive that 6.5 supports DSU cascading in a single job,
just like tape and virtual tape.

Anas, have you put the /volumes mount point in the file list?
Also, make sure that you snapshot the vmdk files first. I found this
preso that speaks to it:

Just an FYI, it's not an ASCII mailing list, and I saw the red comments
just fine. You are either using an ASCII-only email client, or have
told your rich-text capable email client to display only plain text.
That doesn't mean the
backup tapes you're retaining indefinitely?
That's not what a backup product is for. That's what an archive product
is for. IMHO, if you're keeping a backup tape longer than a year,
you're asking for nothing but trouble.

around it if you need VTLs, such as for large clients that you want to
use block disk for (and you also want dedupe). As I stated in my
previous post, the only way to get both TODAY is to use VTLs.

P.S. Actually I would say NOT to purchase a VTL.
I believe with all the new great features in NB 6.5, make the Disk

Units to be the best options for most people.
FWIW, I'm not even close to dumping VTLs. I hear this statement about

Your upgrade falls into the WOW category.
