Good afternoon everyone .
I need help .

I have the following failure: the backup failed to back up the requested files ( 6).

Is this failure occurs in the backup of a virtual machine - Hyper V.

This client Machine was migrated from VMware to Hyper V.

Here some information from the environment :

MasterServer :
OS: Linux RedHat 6
Netbackup Version: 7.0.02

MediaServer : OS: Linux RedHat 6
Netbackup Version: 7.0.02

Server Hyper : Hyper V manager 6.3.9600
OS: Microsoft Winwdows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter

Attention : So checked in the following error in Integration Services on this client machine :

' WSUS - 1' : The Data Exchange integration service is not enabled Either , not running or not initialized . (Virtual machine 7FE73051 - C431-4BF3-9444-4846C0B6C3A6 ID )

Windows 2008r2 Master and Media servers, Isilon storage

Hello again, all.

Im trying something that I never have yet, and am having little luck. Yet, I cant imagine this being a complicated configuration. I need to temporarily send backups to a CIF share that was created for me on an Isilon box and I have full access to the share. My backups usually go to DataDomain disk pools/storage units.

The thing is that im finding article after article on how to back up a CIF share, but not backup data TO a CIF share. I beleive I have to start by creating a storage unit that points to the location to which I want to send the backups, but thats where I'm getting stopped, and pretty sure Im missing steps. Ive named the new stiorage unit, selected disk as the storage unit type, BasicDisk as disk type(??), selected a media server I want it to use, entered the absolute path, but I cannot view the properties of the location. I just get that "Error reading volume information.STS API failed. Status 228", which leads me to believe I'm heading in entirely the wrong direction. Is anyone out there sending backups directly to a CIF share, and can shed some light on this for me? I'll provide whatever information needed about my current setup.

Thank you!!!

Hi Everyone,
This is my first post in the forum.

Environment Details:

One Master/ Media server and two media servers.

Out of the two media servers, one uses a DELL ML6040 FC tape library. There are 5 FC tape drives present in the library which are not shared with other media servers.
DSSU starts duplication jobs for this media server but only 4 tape drives are being used and one is left free always.

This left tape drive is not the same. It shuffles across different tape drives.

DSSU is done using media manager created using a storage unit group.
Maximum concurrent write drives : 5
Maxmimum stream per drive: 8

MDS allocation is done only for 4 drives at any particular time.

bpstulist for robot storage unit group.
Label: XXXXXXXXX
Storage Unit Type: Media Manager
Host Connection: XXXXXXXXX
Number of Drives: 5
On Demand Only: no
Max MPX/drive: 8
Density: hcart3 - 1/2 Inch Cartridge 3
Robot Type/Number: TLD / 0
Max Fragment Size: 1048576 MB

Staging storage units point to the right media server in "Host connection"
nbrbutil -resetmediaserver <mediaserver> and ltid deamon was reset.

Kindly help me in resolving the issue.

hi Team, 

Does Netbackup Evaluation License  contains all features / funtionality of netbackup ? and how to check the Evaluation License   is standard base or capacity based?

Thank you

Hello,

We're using NBU 7.6.1, and we're asked to back up MacBook Pro (OS X Yosemite) today.
I'm not sure if it works or not, does anyone ever give it a try? 
Thanks!

OS:- Solaris

Clustered Master Server

We are having issue where we are unable to check the media tab from Java Console. As soon as we click on Media Tab we get the error

"Xonnection coould not be established timed out while making the connection verify the services or daemon are working fine"

I had verified all the daemons are UP and backups are working fine.We are able to view the content of library fine from GUI by running the inventory robot,also through CLI we are able to get all the information from bpmedia, vmquery, bpmedialist. Only problem we are having with Media Tab access vie GUI

We had also restarted the NBU but still we are unable to access it.

It has been over 10 months since I have used NetBackUp. I am out of touch with the trouble shooting process.Our old file servers from which the backups were created have been decommissioned. I need to restore a folder from a backup tape. I have the backup tapes I added them to the library and did an inventory. I then started Backup, Archieve and Restore. From FILE>SPECIFY NETBACKUP MACHINE AND POLICY TYPE I selected the following as per FIG 1. I started the restore with these settings in FIG 2. I get the following as per FIG 3.

I need immediate help as the tapes are due to expire after 5 hours.

I have about 4.5 TB on a basic disk storage unit that isnt valid I just discovered. The partition is 7TB used for Server_Diff storage.  This storage unit is for Diffs only and actively being written too without issue.  I notice these images are not listed in the catalog for the clients.  I did a search and didnt see anything identical to this issue in the forms.  If I delete these images manually is this going to cause any issues.  My thought is no based on my understanding, but I would love a more knowledgeable confirmation.  Thanks.

EDIT:  The images here shouldnt be older than 2 weeks based on retention.  Some are 2-3 months old.

I'm running Netbackup 7.5 in a Windows environment.  I have lots of Windows clients running backups to a Media Server Deduplication Pool and all the deduplication is happening on the media server.  I have a single master server. 

I have a remote office with 6 or 7 Windows servers that currently has its own media server and tape library but soon will have neither.  I will need to back them up to my local dedupe disk pool over the network.  Seems a good situation to enable client-side dedupe on those 6 or 7 servers. 

From what I can tell I need to go into the Properties of the Master Server under Host Properties.  Then under Client Attributes I make the change under Deduplication Location from 'Always use the media server' to 'Prefer to use client-side deduplication' (or Always use ...).

Since I only have one master server this is pretty much a global change, right?  I can go to each policy and check the 'disable client-side deduplication' box but that's a lot more work than just enabling client-side deduplication for a few servers. 

How do I enable client-side deduplication for just a handful of clients?  If I change the Deduplication Location in the Client Attributes of the Host Properties does it just apply to the clients listed in the client list or does it apply to all the clients of that master server?

Thanks a million.

Hi all,

Using nbu 7.6 as master/media server, and Windows2k8 client.
A CIFS share (30 million files) is backed up with Accelerator enabled.
I can see forced rescan is automatically used for some backups, even I don't enable it in the schedule.

Is it a bug?

Hello All,

Can you please share any Netbackup interview questions if you have. Iam looking to crack a job in this area. Also can you please let me know the area that interviewers will be stressing on if I go with 4 years of experience on resume. Appreciate your help on this. 

Hi ;

I'm newbie in Symantec Netbackup , i will be grateful if you could help me .

we need to backup from client to NAS Storage Directly  , without mounted the NAS Storage  to the media server. is it possible ? and if so how to implement it ?

Hi All,

In a plan, I went to enable the NBAC on my standalone master server Using: \Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>bpnbaz -setupmaster

Output ----

You will have to restart NetBackup services on this machine after the command completes successfully.

---------------------------

But after restarting my NBU Services i found that most of the netbackup services are not running. In event viewer i can see error EMM initilisation failure 334.

Post couple of R&D i dint resolve this issue. Finally i disabled the NBAC in Registry using USE_VXSS = PROHIBITED

After Server Restart, Services came up successfully.

Hi, 

There will be any issue if i backup active database in Full backup but backup passive database in Incremental. The real issue is when i backup incremental in passive database error 130 or another snapshot error happened. And when i backup full in active database same error happened no matter how many times i restart services or server. 

Thanks

Dear all,

I'm trying to add a trusted master server but the following warning appears:

Although the master server specified is now identified as a trusted master server , a secure exchange was not made between these two hosts. This is because one of the master servers is rejecting connections. Please refer to the logs for further troubleshooting. After resolving the issue you need to reconfigure the trusted server. (5680)

I cann add a replication target server but doesn't allow to create SLP replication (access is denied 117).

As suggested in the forums, i've checked the host files in both servers and they're ok. also resolution works. 

bp.conf contains the entries in both servers.

Hi All,

Currently i have a client thats run DFSR service with total data size ~2TB. The current policy is set to backup the root folder of DFSR which is taking ~3.5 days. Therefore, i have created a new policy (duplicate of existing policy) and in the backup selection list, i have added DFS shares individually to enable the multi-stream. However, when i run the backup, only 3/4 folders is succesffull and the rest ended with error "71 - none of the files in the file list exist"

Could someone advice me if i have missed anything?

Existing Policy - Backup List:

Shadow Copy Components:\User Data\Distributed File System Replication\DfsrReplicatedFolders

New Policy - Backup List:

Shadow Copy Components:\User Data\Distributed File System Replication\DfsrReplicatedFolders\Folder A
Shadow Copy Components:\User Data\Distributed File System Replication\DfsrReplicatedFolders\Folder B

.....

Shadow Copy Components:\User Data\Distributed File System Replication\DfsrReplicatedFolders\Folder Z

Hi,

If I'll be adding Quantum Scalar i500 Tape Library, I just need to use the Device Configuration Wizard, right?

Can you include some best practices?

Thanks! 

Hello,

I am testing live update on my environment as we have to upgrade lots of windows client. I am running the live update policy for one windows machine only.

This is what error I am getting.

==================

I am ataching the logs from liveupdate directory on client as well.

Master Server: Solaris 10 (7.6.0.3)

Client:  Windows 2003, (7.6.0.1)

NFS  server on master server as live update server:

/usr/openv/liveUpdateServer       (everyone)

Please let me know if I am doing something wrong.

Dear Gurus,

We have a policy atatched with an SLP. Many clients are using this policy and we already have many existing backups for them. The current retention for the SLP is 1 year. We plan to change the retention to 6 months. The issue is there are some clients for which we want to keep the backup for 1 year (for the existing backups; for new backups of these clients requiring 1 year retention, we will be creating new SLP and attach it to the existing policy). So would like to know how to tackle this? What are the alternates available to us (for exmaple: duplication, new SLP etc.) and what are the implications/impact of each of them. We don't mind in creating new policy and/or SLP for this purpose.

Thanks.
