Hi All
I done a 5.1 - 6.5.3 upgrade direct.
Prior to doing this, to ensure I had sufficient space, I moved the
images to a new location using the ALTPATH method..

now I am on 6.5, I have started introducing new clients to the system
and have
If you are on NBU 6 consider a couple of possibilities.
There are some things that require you to have both short and
fully-qualified names in the EMM database. I could imagine a database
error if that kind of lookup failed. There is a command to add aliases
for media servers.

What are people using for the fragment size on LTO4 (or I guess LTO3) with
NBU 6.x?
I ask because the default is 1TB, i.e. more or less don't fragment.
The argument for a large fragment is that the backup doesn't have to stop
so often as it does briefly at the end of each fragment to update
Hi all, I'm brand-new to the list, and apologize that I don't have time for
introductions before I have to get down to business.
One of my Operators mistook three active tapes for scratch, pulled the labels
off, and inadvertently mixed them in alongside 23 other label-less tapes.
Is there any
New drives are faster.
We had replaced the 2GB fragments with 8Gb fragments.

Just inserting them into a drive should be enough. After they're in,
look at vmoprcmd -d ds on the media server that sees that drive.
The ExtMID is the External Media ID - supplied via the robot's interface
- the RecMID is the on-tape media ID - it's the from the header info.

I'm using a 10G fragment size. Just a guess at a ballpark figure
between too small too large.

but . if it aint broke

It all depends how long you want to wait to restore a file if you have
large backups that can span a tape completely.
With 1TB fragment size, assuming there was no compression and you needed
to restore a 10k file at the end of the tape, it would need to read the
entire thing to
Hi ,
I am facing a issue while backing up a NDMP vol from filer .it throws up
with error 96 and inturn we do have enough number of scratch tapes in
pool.This happens once the backups are started and running ,then it
throws this error .
Any inputs on this?

Are we talking about fragment size for the storage unit itself?
Mine is set to the default 1048575MB
I thought the default would be acceptable for LTO3/ LTO4. (ie:
1048575MB)
But happy to hear what others do

Hi,
1. Do you have enough scratch media?
2. Did you check your robot to make sure it is not locked up/frozen?

Run `bpconfig -L` to get your Display Reports setting. You may find it to be
some absurdly high number not found in nature, like mine was:
# /usr/openv/netbakcup/bin/admincmd/bpconfig -L
...
Display Reports:6357058 hours ago
...
Now somehow, `bpadm` uses the above value to come
Ideally, I try to go for FAST restores. I feel our backups are quite
quick.
We also use buffer settings on some Media Servers that contains large
amounts of Data.
I guess it is a weigh up between performance and fast restores.

I've got two suggestions. I used to manage one site without a barcode
reader. We used bephyinv to physically mount each tape and read the
media header. You would have to disable your barcode reader to pull
this off. A better solution (although I can't recall ever doing this)
would be to us
Hi,
This is probably very simple but not having done it before I thought I'd
ask the experts :-) We've got a windows infrastructure running nbu 6.
All we backup is flat files, with a mix of network, VSS and clariion
scripted snapshots. Our SQL servers run their own backups to backup
drives and
tape drive will use LOCATE BLOCK to first file to restore, then search from
there.

Does anyone know what the RB_ tables in the EMM database are used for and

And database size. Every fragment is another record in the image

Thank you all for your help. Mark's solution below, of using vmoprcmd
worked like a charm.
Now, to revamp our tape handle procedures to ensure that this doesn't
happen again.
Again, thank you to all who responded.

Nor I. But I did find that it worked in some aspects on unix with

I'm still on LTO2 and have the max fragment size set to 8GB. That's a file
every few minutes if the drive is allowed to run full speed. Will probably
multiply by 2 or 4 when I ever upgrade.

We have Netbackup Enterprise 6.5.4. Using VCB to backup our VMware

We're using a Flashbackup-Windows, 0-file, ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES policy to backup

Is this normal?

They're both a bit persnickity with options. These are general commands
