Hi All
Got a major outage - 1 Media Server lost 400GB Disk. New disk in place,
trying to restore, but throughput is BAD BAD BAD!
Backups were done using multiple streams (4 streams per tape drive). I
kicked off one RESTORE job to restore ALL Data to this one drive.
Is there a benefit to kicking
Netbackup 5.0Mp7 on Solaris9 servers with Solaris clients and Windows
clients. Connected to L25 unit.
Can anyone explain why i am getting all my jobs fail with status 52 yet
i have scratch available? I run ITC so 2 drives are used at the same
time. Now looking in
Ive ended up leaving the job as is for now - It looks like its behaving as
expected.
Starting to think that the Multiplex settings may have something to do
with this, so will keep an eye on this...
Thanks anyhow

Hi Simon,
This is unfortunately the trade off of using multiple streams, the
backup are fast but recovery is ssllooww.

Yeah its just one master/media server with network based clients.
There are no tapes stuck in the drives and tpconfig -d shows all up and
using robtest shows no tapes in the drives either so i dont think its a
stuck tape :(

No,
If you select all data then netbackup will read the tape ones. There is
another problem. Try to put NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS_RESTORE

The most common reasons I've seen for slow backups:
1) Networking - If you're using 100BaseT make sure the card in the
HP server AND the associated switch port are hard set to 100 MB / Full
Duplex - They do NOT handle autonegotiate well at all.
2) Make sure you're backing up where
Not sure why you think scratch has anything to do with it. If no tapes
were available you'd get a completely different error. 52 to me usually

If memory serves, you were writing 24 jobs or something to a single

I don't have a link at the moment, nor the time to search for it, but
I'll back up what Ed says.
For a Vmware physical server, you need one client license per OS.
F'rinstance, a box running ESX, with Windows and Linux virtual servers
on it, would require 1 windows and 1 linux license.

Unless you used something like esxranger to backup the vmware server instances
to a physical machine then used the existing license to backup the images.
Esxranger is licensed per cpu of the esx box. If it has 4 cpus you would need
to license 4 to backup that esx box.

You can not backup running vm virtual machines one a esx box by backing
up the linux side of the esx box. The only way to backup them up via

Nothing changed between 5.x and 6.06.5 will have changes to the
