Hi All,
I am thinking of taking the NBU certification exams 250-265 and 250-365.
I have experience of all versions of NetBackup from 3.4 to 6.5.3.1; however the
majority of my time has been spent using NBU 4.5 and 5.1 (I completed the
official VERITAS courses on those versions). I only
Hi Steven,
The exam is not difficult, if you are used with pre 6.0 versions, you should
get a good look to the inter-process documentation, becouse it changed a lot
from pre 6.x to 6x.
Good luck,
Pedro

Jim,
I've been testing it myself. I think you do need to keep that full backup
around. The synthetic part of a synthetic backup is the consolidation of the
full backup and the incrementals into a single image. This is done via
duplication.
The test scenario I'm working with is the
Boris,
When I was doing some testing earlier I could see in the logs that the
buffer sizes were only changing when I modified the
size_data_buffers_ndmp value. If there is a way to set the size on the
Celera I would guess that would work as well. I haven't figured out how
to set the

What makes it synthetic is that it is created tape
Thanks all,
Though keeping the orginal full around(to create other synthetics) does seem
a bit strange. Hopefully Netbackup will mature to elimnate the constraint.

Anyone have experience converting a clustered Master running 6.5 on
Windows back to a stand alone configuration?
Thanks

From what I've read, and from what Curtis says below, you DON'T need to keep
the original full backup around, once you've created at least one more
synethtic full backup. You can do just one full backup, then keep creating
synthetic fulls by merging the previous synthetic full with incrementals,

I see what you mean. But I suspect that's just a poorly worded paragraph.
The diagram on page 200 of the Admin Guide (Vol 1, Windows version)
indicates the original full is not required ongoing.
I wish I could say for sure from experience, but I've never been able to get
synthetic backups
Gidday, I've been running synthetics for nearly two years now to backup about
3/3.5 TBs and have to say has generally run extremely well.
Within the same policy I have 3 schedules.
The first is an ad-hoc full - I used this to create the first full backup, and
on the very few occasions when
Unfortunately my test showed you do.(or do they?). I'm to understand why
expiring the full backup triggered another full backup (not synthetic). There
maybe an obsure reason that my test failed or it may be a bug.
Maybe the Full backup running has nothing to do with the synthetics but is
And you're verifying that the original full does not need to be kept around?

OK ... I missed two important points I guess. With a 1 month retention period,
I always have 4 (weekly) synthetic backups in my library, and so yes I've never
had any problem about recovering
