When I tried to backup Windows 2003 Server X64 before NBU 6.0 MP2 I got a bunch of strange errors. After upgrading the master- and media servers and the Windows 2003 Server X64 clients everything works fine.

bpimagelist -l -hoursago $hoursago | grep IMAGE | awk '{ tot+=$19} END
{ printf Data backed up in the last '$hoursago' hours: %9.0f
'$size'\n,tot/'$div' }'
$size is one of KB, MB or GB and $hoursago just substitute with the

I have this in my daily report see so know how much is done total each

Im starting to wonder if the Media Written report is just going to be an
easier way, rather than scripting anything?
I can then export the info to excel and get a grand total.
Is the Written report the same as bpimagelist?

Adaptive Server Anywhere Network Server encountered a problem and needed to close. Clicking OK in the error dialog for the error above yields another message that states the EMM database is trying to start. It fails, and brings up the EMM message again. Clicking OK again seems to work as the admin console finally starts up and you can see job history. However, there is NOTHING displayed in the topology view. Checking the services on the Master Server shows the Adaptive Server Anywhere - VERITAS_NB service is set to automatic, but has not started, and it's status field is blank. All NetBackup services are started with the exception of Vault Manager. Manually starting the Server Anywhere - VERITAS_NB service is successful. If you then close the Admin Console and double click the icon to reopen it, the Server Anywhere - VERITAS_NB service stops, (status is blank) and the whole process repeats.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Can Netbackup work on a DHCP network
It's not as bad as it sounds. You just have to make sure that the DHCP server modifies DNS records (forward and reverse) for each client as it hands out DHCP leases. You should have your servers acquire static leases (where the given MAC always gets the same IP addr) so they are always in the same place. But the clients can move around as long as the DNS server gets updated so you can do forward AND reverse lookups. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Wilts Sent: Monday, June 12, 2006 3:05 PM To: Carl Mathews Cc: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Can Netbackup work on a DHCP network On Mon, Jun 12, 2006 at 02:54:46PM -0500, Carl Mathews wrote: Our networks are changing from static IP to DHCP.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Checkpoint Restart
My experience matches your understanding. My limited experience with large large backups has led me to avoid them where possible! In case you think I'm an idiot, you're not wrong, but maybe the advice can be helpful to a few ... I'll give 3 examples from recent activities in my own shop: * I had a mail server with 250+GB in 15+M files. It took 60+ hours for a full backup. It turns out that its data is spread over many file systems. I turned on allow multiple streams and the total backup time was reduced to about 12 hours (It will be substantially better than that if I'm able to split two of the larger file systems). * I have a development system that had 300+GB of data in dozens of Oracle DBs. Full and incremental backups are similar in size and very long in duration. Many of the DBs are also backed up with the NetBackup for Oracle agent. Backups are being brought under control by allow multiple streams, as well as excluding the Oracle DB files from file system backups. * Less successful ... with one large file server (large because it's currently at the end of a relatively slow pipe), I've carved up the file system using multiple policies and exclude files so each policy exists for a part of the data (make sure one policy is all the rest or you'll get killed by new data/structure). This works, but is, IMHO, too unwieldy to recommend. In this case, if I had a fast pipe or backup storage close to the client, the file systems would no longer be large! I still like the IBM TSM model of backing up a file exactly once, eliminating all this full-backup nonsense. (Of course, back on the backup server you shuffle files around as much as you can to maintain good restore times). Hope this helps! cheers, wayne Martin, Jonathan (Contractor) wrote, in part, on 6/12/2006 1:30 PM: It is my understanding that I can't restart a failed backup with checkpoint enabled unless it is still in the backup window?

Hi Bob We had a similar problem with our quarterly backup. It should only run 4 times a year but tried to run instead of the weekly backup for any new servers added toa policy. Removing 'Allowed to retry after run day' seemed to cure the problem.
