Re: [Veritas-bu] VMWAre slow performance

2016-04-06 Thread Wayne Smith
Michael has some good points, but unless I've missed it, we know next to nothing about your site and method of backup. Stabs in the dark: Is the i/o path from vm to esx very short? Have you tuned the NBU master/media servers? Is your backup path independent of the network/normal i/o and disk

[Veritas-bu] restores from client not working

2012-06-26 Thread Wayne Smith
Hi all, I have NetBackup Enterprise server 6.5.5 and a Linus 6 client using the 7.0 GA client ... and yes, I know this is not supported. The client wants to use a 64-bit client so as to avoid installing a bunch of 32-bit packages. Almost everything appears to work. I can successfully connect

[Veritas-bu] NetBackup with clients on a VPN?

2011-03-15 Thread Wayne Smith
I have a few road-warrior clients with laptops that connect to our network via OpenVPN, meaning they have an encrypted connection, but they share an IP address as far as NetBackup sees, and connections can only be made from the client to the backup server. I understand this precludes scheduled

[Veritas-bu] RHEL 6 and NetBackup 6.5 and 7.0

2010-12-03 Thread Wayne Smith
Hi all, Some of my sysadmins are getting hot to use the new RHEL 6 in their production systems. Has Symantec discussed support for RHEL 6? Are there experiences you can share on RHEL 6 and NetBackup 6.5 and/or 7.0? Thanks and cheers, Wayne ___

If using the scripted rman procedure, you can specify policy/class and schedule in the allocate channel stmt(s) to cause the backup server to use the ones you want. I can give example of syntax, if required. Also, this can happen if the client nodename is not exactly the same as what's defined in

Re: [Veritas-bu] [RETENTION] Application Backup Schedules ...

2007-06-19 Thread Wayne Smith
I'll confirm that it is the Application-type schedule that actually accepts the data and determines retention, NOT the Automatic schedule. Backing up with multiple retentions in one policy may be tricky, but can be done. One way is to ensure that two different-retention Application schedules

I think it's just the way NetBackup (and frozen) works. While we're quoting, here's a snippet from the v5.1 Commands for Unix manual:If the date is set to zero, bpexpdate immediately expires backups from the image catalog or media from the media catalog. When a media ID is removed from the
