Hi Been working with Netbackup for a couple of years and you sort of get set in the way that you do things. There are curtain parameters that you always set the same, like Maximum jobs per client = 99. Allow media overwrite = I tick all of them ... So I wondered what and why you set

1. What version of NBU are you running? 2. Any EEB's? 3. Set debug/diagnostics to 6 for oid 199 on the FT media server, wait for a backup to fail and have a look at the log. 4. If not at 654 upgrade and then log a support call and ask for the SAN Client bundle... -Original Message- From:

Hi Gary, I don't know if other people have found this, but I've never worked for a shop that I could justify multiple fabrics for the backup infrastructure (unless of course you're free to use your production fabrics, which I've also found management folks tend to frown at ;-). If you're going

Well this could be a big discussion. First Max jobs per client I totally disagree with you. I have some servers that are so small that more than 1 stream causes it to overload, so it does not respond, so NB kills the jobs. So I HAVE to set those to 1 stream. My medium size servers I set to

Here's an update: Moving the same backup to 3 new media servers we installed last fall allowed these policies to work. When I started updating tape drivers and re-running cfgmgr I saw a great deal of improvement but it went from zero to about 75% on the older servers. Moving them to the new

We have a group of DBAs running a restore and I was wondering if there was something in the way they kicked off their restore that caused the following: They initiate restore, tape is loaded, image is restored, tape is returned to slot in the library...then restore moves to the next

I did several small (10 - 40 server) migrations from Networker to Netbackup. We simply installed the Netbackup client on top of the (Unix/Linux) Networker client and started full backups one weekend. We kept the Networker hardware online for a year before decommissioning. All of the Netbackup
