Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup 6 to Netbackup7
It would be easier if you went to the SYMC site and looked at the upgrade portal. That will provide all the information you need to perform the upgrade. --Original Message-- From: harikrse Sender: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU ReplyTo: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup 6 to Netbackup7 Sent: Jan 5, 2011 6:47 AM Hi All, Can you please provide me the challenges encountered during the netbackup upgrade from NB6 to NB7 and what are the things to be taken care.

[Veritas-bu] Tape compatibility
We are currently converting from NetWorker to NetBackup and I am wondering if anyone can tell me if I can re-use a tape that was originally written to in NetWorker in NetBackup? I know NetBackup can't read the tape, but will it be able to re-label the tape and re-use it? I suspect it can, but I just want to be sure. Just trying to save a buck by not have to purchase all new tapes. Thank you, Joseph A.

Every new NetBackup release incorporates something different in the license keys. You should have received and invite from Symantec to upgrade your keys and you should take advantage of that. There's no charge to upgrade your keys to the current version. .../Ed ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

I was a beta tester. But beta was ended long ago.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup 6 to Netbackup7
Netbackup upgrade from 6.X to 7.X is like a piece of cake. Very very smooth if compared to 5.X to 6.X upgrade. We upgraded our environment in less than two hours.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Tape compatibility
If certainly should, if it is a tape drive supported by NetBackup. I would make sure to have these entries in bp.conf: (also a part in the GUI under master properties that will do it.) ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = DBR ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = TAR ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = CPIO ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = ANSI ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = AOS/VS ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = MTF1 ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = RS-MTF1 ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = BE-MTF1 I would run a force labeling operation on each tape to make sure. After you have imported the blank media into the media database in the scratch pool in a robot NetBackup controls, highlight all them in the GUI and right-click-select Label. Uncheck 'Verify media label before performing operation' and acknowledge. (Instructions from NetBackup 6.5.6.

[Veritas-bu] NetBackup 6.5.5 Policy Retention issue
Hello, We have an infinite retention policy for all our backups. However we had a restore request for one of the client and while checking images for that client using bpimagelist, we found out that the image has an expiry date. We went back to policy to find out that retention on the schedule is still showing Infinity and the most recent backup copy shows the expiration date. Has anyone noticed it before? What can we do to resolve it?
