Re: [Veritas-bu] Status 14 but with exclude list plus open file disabled
Thanks. The problem is i cant remove the RSM service ( if thats whats referred to in the technote ) as it is actually used on this client. I also cannot stop and start it (AFAIK) while a backup runs. I just cant understand if i have excluded *.wci and disabled open file backups why is it still having problems.

[Veritas-bu] Reporting Tool for NetBackup
All, I am in the process of looking at various reporting tools for NetBackup. I just completed looking at backupVISUAL from agite software. It was a very nice application. I guess I wonder what everybody else thinks of the reporting tool that they use? Also what other tools should I look at? Things I want to avoid: 1) JAVA based GUIs 2) Ones that require me to purchase a database application like ORACLE. 3) One that requires I load on each netbackup client 4) One that requires I load on each media server. Any opinion on backupVISUAL or on any other application would be appreciated.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Status 14 but with exclude list plus open file disabled -NEW INFO
Actually this may be the right track but not slightly. After enabling log level to 5 i have started seeing 10053 errors in the bpkar log. It then seems to exit with status 14. Now on the client itself i looked at the job tracker after i kicked a manual backup off and it exited. Well the job tracker is still running and counting files up. In a certain directory i am including so far there are over 700,000 files. Does anyone think its just taking so long to count the files its doing something dodgy? The way i backup this client is with ALL_LOCAL_DIRECTORIES plus SYSTEM_STATE I then exclude e: and f: and then include f::\nic\blah, f:\nic\blah2 etc It seems in these f: directories there are shed loads of files? Any pointers? How does snapshot thing work? Can i restore individual files if i use it? Any help appreciated Cheers Martin, Jonathan wrote: Tried this yet? http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/pipermail/veritas-bu/2004-June/023649.html Ah..

Re: [Veritas-bu] Reporting Tool for NetBackup
Greetings, We have been using Aptare for the past 5 years. I highly recommend it. There are no agents installed on any clients or media servers. It comes with Oracle built in, no extra purchase needed. The only agents that are needed are installed on the Netbackup Master Server. They are used to gather the data from the Master and send it to the portal server. No JAVA gui's are needed, it is accessed with a Web browser, IE or Firefox work just fine. You can run customized reports and have them e-mailed. Their support is excellent. I would visit www.aptare.com for futher information. = Carl Stehman IT Distributed Services Team Pepco Holdings, Inc. 202-331-6619 Pager 301-765-2703 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kevin Whittaker [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/15/2007 12:05 PM To veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu cc Subject [Veritas-bu] Reporting Tool for NetBackup All, I am in the process of looking at various reporting tools for NetBackup.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Exchange off-host backup options
Tal, If you have EMC equipment, have you thought of taking BCV snaps of your exchange systems and then backing up the BCVs? We use replication manager with this to schedule a backup job to kick off after the BCV mounts and then dismount the volume after the backup job is finished so it can do the next exchange server. Restores are really easy as well, especially using Quests Exchange Recovery Manager. HTH, Phil.

I am looking for some information regarding Netbackup options for Microsoft exchange. I have been doing some investigating in what options we have when using the netbackup advanced client with the netbackup Microsoft exchange agent - specifically for performing an off-host backup It seems we can only use Storage foundation's Flashsnap feature to mount the exchange db on another netbackup client (not a windows media server) I want to know if I have any other options or if this is all we can do from a netbackup level while still performing an exchange backup (hence using the ms exchange api) We are using EMC storage so the option to use timefinder with the exchange option is there but I am concerned there could be issue (as the mapi is not used as in netbackup) e.g. mailbox backups or alternate server recoveries etc Regards Tal * The message is intended for the named addressee only and may not be disclosed to or used by anyone else, nor may it be copied in any way.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Reporting Tool for NetBackup
my top two picks would be Aptare Storage Console or Veritas Backup Reporter.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Very slow client
Scott, The 2003 server should be protecting the shadow copy components not the system state which is for Windows 2000. As for the other performance my first suggestion is to check the NIC setting. If GigE then auto negotiate is acceptable; however, if 100Mbps Ethernet is used force the NIC to 100 FULL duplex. The C:\ drive, especially the Windows directory will always be a pain from a speed and feed perspective, but not to the limits you're seeing. Lastly, set the virus scan to scan inbound only, using the outbound on a backup is a performance hit no one wants to experience. Thanks, Rockey J. Reed You're not obligated to win.
