[Veritas-bu] Is Netbackup SQL Server Agent required to use Netbackup to b

It seems the problem is a defect MCP Card in the robot that does reset on the CAN bus. Netbackup TLD Control regards the reset as an unit attention (eventid 13848) Hopefully the firmware upgrade to 7422 the replacement of the defect card will solve this Regards Michael 2010/10/28 Michael Graff

We don't use it either. SQL admins setup the backups to go to disk - all are to occur at the same time on all the servers Then I have a policy to backup the SQL servers that kicks off at 2 am. This gets the server Plus the backups to disk that occurred earlier in the night. Now the SQL admins

We use the MS-SQL Client here. We don't really have dedicated SQL DBAs, we have windows admins with sql training and Oracle DBAs who would rather manage Oracle. The text files offer simple configuration, and restores are a breeze with the GUI. I guess for the limited amount of MS-SQL we do here it

Here's what we use,. Change the SrcClient DstClient variables and then stick in your list of files to restore. If you want to change the restore path, edit those lines or comment them out. If you need to change the type (e.g. 13 for Windows files), change the restore command at the bottom.

Hello Allen, The simplest thing to try is to create a different policy for each path. Then you have one path one return code. And if the backup for /vol/vol3 fails, the retry is only for /vol/vol3 and not /vol/vol1-3. You can limit how many jobs will run on a netapp with the maxjob per client

We do this on one server here that often needs to write unique file names to tape, then recover in batches. The syntax is whacky, and I think if the filelist.txt file doesn't end with a blank line the entire thing fails. bprestore.exe -A -L C:\Path\RestoreLog.txt -R /C/Path/rename.txt -f
