[Veritas-bu] should you move live media to a new pool - thought it woudl fail

Title: Message Hi Could I get clarification? If I ran a Month end backup with a 1 year retention, but it accidently directed into a wrong volume pool, am I right in saying it cannot be moved? I thought if you deassigned a media ID from a volume, Netbackup would forget about it and treat

Re: [Veritas-bu] should you move live media to a new pool - thought it woudl fail

I don't think you can change volume pools of a tape if it has images on it. It normally needs to be expired first, which of course will mean it can be re-used. Dave WEAVER, Simon wrote: Hi Could I get clarification? If I ran a Month end backup with a 1 year retention, but it accidently

[Veritas-bu] Third times the charm (I hope)

I have asked this question twice before with no answers so I thought I'd try again. How can I tell why a restore job is queued? I submit restore jobs and they sit in the queue forever. There are plenty of tape drives, the necessary tape is in the library. There are no pending mount requests. A

Re: [Veritas-bu] Does Netbackup4.5 support LTO3

Yes. We have both SCSI wired as well as FC and both perform quite well. We used to use 4.5 until our recent 5.1 upgrade. They have been working fine for us. hth Cheers! --Chris Hi all, Anybody tested using LTO3 in Netbackup 4.5 with MP5?? Thanks. -Song */WEAVER, Simon

RE: [Veritas-bu] should you move live media to a new pool - thou ghtit woudl fail

Dave That is EXACTLY what I told them!! (people who know better!!) Sure this was the case, but my understanding is this: 1) When a Media ID (or volume if you want to call it that) is assigned to a Volume Pool, its stuck there 2) The Volume will STAY here until its expired or manually expired or

RE: [Veritas-bu] Third times the charm (I hope)

Patrick Ok well 2 reasons I can think of is.. 1) the Media is looking for a different TYPE of Tape Drive 2) the Media is waiting for a response from the Storage device used that performed the backup in the 1st place! Has anything changed in terms of config since that backup was carried

Re: [Veritas-bu] Does Netbackup4.5 support LTO3

Ah. We move *slow*, unless there are enhancement needs or security issues, so we have used pretty much each and every single MP (we are on the MP track) 'known to man' that is between our current revision and base 3.4 where we started. Until 5.0 we used the FP track. We do stay up to date

Well, it can be de-assigned and reassigned. but you may get problems with error code 94's How to do it? Check out the how to fix error code 94's Media Manager error 94: Volume not in specified pool - scenarios and solutions http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/247898.htm personally, I would

Bob No don't want to follow this doc really - and to be honest the tape will have a retention of 1 year - its not going to kill anyone if it sits in this pool! At the end of the day, Netbackup will know about it and when the media is needed, put it into the pool it came from! Simon Weaver

RE: [Veritas-bu] Third times the charm (I hope)

The restore log itself isn't telling you anything? Typically I see things like: Restore started 03/04/2006 07:11:38 07:11:43 (109902.xxx) Restore job id 109902 will require 3 images. 07:11:43 (109902.xxx) Media id SU0188 is needed for the restore. 07:11:43 (109902.xxx) Media id SU1532 is

[Veritas-bu] D2D backups

What are you all doing for Disk-to-disk backups? I'm getting a chance to redesign some infrastructure and Disk-to-disk might play an expanding role. Currently we keep about 5TB on disk as a primary backup media, simply writing to a large NFS chunk. We stage another TB or so to disk now but only

RE: [Veritas-bu] Third times the charm (I hope)

I have the same type of problem restoring on the mailserver. It has millions of files. If restore selected files and directories with xbp is used, the restore will queue for a hour or more before starting. If the restore is sent with restore search directory it starts immediatly. Carl Mathews

[Veritas-bu] Job Prediction Accuracy?

I was trying to figure out why my recently implemented backups of an Exchange server did not occur over the weekend. I made sure that the Policies were active - yes. I checked the schedule to be valid - yes. The Information Store policy had a job priority of 1; I've upped it to 4 (like some

I don't recognize the command. What version are you running. I'd look ahead with this: bpschedreq: -terminate -jobid jobid -suspend -jobid jobid [-M master_server,...,master_server] -tables -read_stunits -read_stu_config -predict datetime [-L] -verbose level

Monte But why bother?? That's a lot of effort to move tapes - they may as well stay where they are, and increase the expiry time :-) I just wanted to be sure there was no easy method to do this! Thanks Simon Weaver Technical Support Windows Domain Administrator EADS Astrium Tel:
