Wow.
So, per Alex Davies, the rule of thumb is that you don't want to let your
catalog backup get above ~ 750 GB or above 1 million images, for very practical
reasons:
- At 750 GBs it will take roughly 10 hours to do your catalog backup and
probably even longer for a full recovery. That's the
Hi,
This is the first time for me using this mailing list. This list was
recommended to me by someone and here I am.
Here is my current dilemma:
We went to using a Data Domain device along with NetBackup 6.5 in late
December. We do not have the Vault add-on for NetBackup. Currently all

One of the reasons I want to consolidate the backup environments is to
centralize backups. I have one environment that has about 30 servers and the
other that has around 200.
The biggest reason that we have the large ammount of images is the breaking up
the servers into smaller streams to try
You can use the bpduplicate command to copy one backup image to another.
The source image can be Data Domain and the target can be tape. If you
know scripting it should be fairly easy to create a script that calls
this command. Type man bpduplicate for more details on the command.
Look at the
All,
I'm having to import some 800 media from before my time. We're looking
for email and file data to be restored. Unfortunately, no catalog
exists from this time period. I've hooked up a new server to the old
backup library, and I've got about 200 media loaded. I guess my plan at
this point
Is the data domain a DSU for netbackup?
When you say you're backing up to it, can you give more details?

It would have to be a DSU since it is a disk based de-duplication
device. Here we use GigE connections to it but Fibre is available (for
a price).
In our environment we DO have Vaulting so we regularly vault from the
DSU to tape for those items that require offsite storage.

Thanks for the many replies, and my apologies for taking awhile to
respond. I just got off of a very long support call with Data Domain
and I mentioned the tape backups to the tech I was working with. The
Data Domain device is setup as a disk storage unit. It has VTL
capabilities but the VTL
If you've got a DSU, then I'd suggest starting with bpimmedia, then.
It'll show you what images are on the device.
For example...:
bpimmedia -disk -disk_stu DISK_STU_NAME -d start_date_range -e
end_date_range | awk '$1==IMAGE {print $4}' | tee /tmp/file_of_bpids
This'll give you a list

One thing you might want to consider for the future..if you have your quarterly
backups in a separate schedule, set up multiple copies of that schedule (in
line tape copy). From that you can write your disk copy and tape copy for your
quarterlies at the same time and set the retention for a

Sorry - can't help you with that script unless you're going Cygwin or
PERL on it. My batch file programming certainly isn't up to it.

If you ask me, you should be considering the OST interface, not the VTL
interface. It will give you a bigger boost in performance than the VTL
interface will, from what they've been publishing lately.
In addition, in a few months, OST will support copying to tape via OST.
You'll get better
I use DSU with the disk staging schedule configured, Basic Disk is no
charge. it works quite well for me with all automated duplication from the
disk to tapes.

The OpenSTorage interface, a new way to use your Data Domain boxes (and other
boxes that support it) with NetBackup. It's not NFS or CIFS, it is its own
transport. It is also not VTL. Think of it as a more intelligent DSU.
