Re: [Veritas-bu] Any issues with NetBackup 7.5.0.7?

We upgraded from 7.5.0.4 to 7.5.0.7 about three months ago. It was a fairly painless upgrade and we haven't had any issues with the new release. We have, Solaris 10 SPARC master/media Windows Media servers VMware and agent base clients DataDomain/OST

[Veritas-bu] SLP duplications for VMDK (flashbackup-windows) images.

Currently running NetBackup 7.1.0.3 and wondering if there is any support for using SLP's to duplicate VMDK backup images created using flashbackup-windows type policies? If I try to designate an SLP for the Policy Storage in this type of VMDK policy, I receive an error There is no snapshot

Re: [Veritas-bu] ACSLS 8.0.2 and NBU 7.1(.0.2)

Just a data point for you. We're still on ACSLS 7.3 under Solaris 10 and have had zero issues going from 6.5.4 - 7.0 - 7.0.1 - 7.1 - 7.1.0.1. The robot definitions were defined soley through the gui after the initial 7.0 upgrade and don't have anything specific to the robot in the vm.conf. John

We're currently running with a similar release setup on a sun4u platform (M3000) without any problems. Using NetBackup 7.1 under Solaris 10 U9 with the April 8th, 2010 recommended patch cluster installed. -John On 06/01/2011 08:39 PM, rhugga wrote: Just spent 12 hours trying to upgrade from

Re: [Veritas-bu] Best way to do ESXi 4.1 backup by Veritas Netbackup.

Just a quick follow-on to what mitch808 said, in that the Nbu Clt App and DB Pk is also priced on a per physical server basis now as opposed to per guest basis. So with some reorganization of you're guests down to fewer physical servers you could probably drop the licensing costs down a bit.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 7.1GA

Yeah, I was in the same boat, had just upgraded to 7.0.1 and then realized 7.1 was available. Delving into the 7.0.1 docs related to VMware backups using the vStorage API, if you're planning on using a VM guest as a backup host using the hotadd feature for access to the vmdk's, I'm pretty

Re: [Veritas-bu] media expiration as of Start Time.

If the intent is to re-use the same set of tapes, you'd could either set the retention period to something less than 3 weeks (e.g. 19 days) or manually expire the images on the tapes prior starting the next backup. The later could be done using a combination of the 'bpexpdate' and 'vmquery'

Re: [Veritas-bu] media expiration as of Start Time.

Actually ignore the vmquery ... portion below. Forgot this is has been depricated in current releases and is handled by the bpexpdate utility. -John On 03/18/2011 01:29 PM, John Meyers wrote: If the intent is to re-use the same set of tapes, you'd could either set the retention period

Re: [Veritas-bu] Slow backup speed

Hemant, are you using FC or SATA drives on the 6140 S-vols? Also assuming this is virtualized behind the 9990V in order to use ShadowImage. I'd probably recommend some testing independent of NetBackup to see how fast you can pull data off these volumes. Such as use something like ufsdump, tar

worked fine including the flashbackup(snapcopy) components.

Greg, as far as I can tell, the NB 5.1 client supports AIX 4.3.3.10. Why not just update the AIX client to 5.1 which does works with 6.x? We have a number clients running 5.1 with our 6.5.3 server. John scott.geo...@parker.com wrote: Greetings all, We have an AIX 4.3.3 client that is

Re: [Veritas-bu] Flash Backup

We've got some filesystems containing 4-5 million files on relatively low performance sata raid arrays. Trying to back these up at the filesystem level was taking anywhere from 20-30 hours for fulls. Once we implemented the Flashbackup component, fulls took about 3-4 hours to complete. Very cool
