Thanks, will try that

I can see there is a stream file for each policy which ran with the file
structure inside - makes sense

Delete the STREAMS files under images\client-name

 

Warning:  This will probably cause incremental to run as fulls until a
new full has run. 

 

Kind regards

Hi Guys

 

I have quite an interesting one here

 

NetBackup 6.5.5 - windows 2003 Master

NetBackup 6.5.5 Windows 2003 Media Server behind a firewall backing
itself up

All comms going through vnetd

 

I am using a file list such as:

E:\Folder1\*

E:\Folder2\*

 

I am doing this so that I can pull the data of the disk using multiple
streams so that I can keep a decent data flow to an LTO4 drive.

Else certain directories containing small file just slow the entire
backup volume down

 

The first backup run used the wildcard and detected each subdirectory
and ran a separate stream.

When new sub directories are added they are not detected by the wildcard
discovery - the directories which existed at the time the first back ran
are the only ones which jobs are created for.

 

If I create a new policy and specify E:\Folder1\* - NetBackup will then
detect all the subdirectories and kick off a job for each one.

Its almost as if the file list is being cached somewhere and not being
rediscovered for each scheduled backup.

 

Any thoughts or similar experiences?

I am sure I have actually seen this will earlier versions of NetBackup -
going back to NB5

 

Cheers
