Hi all;

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

i have a problem regarding to Network in netbackup 7.6 as we implement 2 Network for Netbackup , one network for Netbackup management "public" and one private vlan for backup.

Master/Media Server and all the clients have 2 interfaces , one for public connections and one for private connections.
please check below:

Master Server/Media Server                                  clients
192.168.1.10" public" ------------------------------>     192.168.1.11 " public"
10.0.0.10 "private"------------------------------->       10.0.0.11    "private"

while i am login to Netbackup via public Network , i push client installation to the client on the private network .
after successful installation of  agent on the client , the client status " can't connect to socket "

Notice : there is no DNS . and the backup Vlan is private " no connections to the public".

please Advice 

Thanks

Hello All,

The hyper-v environment is configured in such a way that the hyper-v files reside on a  Cluster Shared Volume on another SOFS server. I'm able to browse the VM's and add them to the hyper-v policy however I get an invalid snapshot error when I save the policy. The backup also fails. I was wondering if hyper-v backup is supported from SOFS shares.Please help if anyone has had experience of similar setup .

Error Code 4201: Incorrect snapshot method configuration or snapshot method not compatible for protecting backup selection entries

Netbackup Version : 7.6.0.3 on Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1 64 Bit

Hi,

I've changed the retention period of secondcopy for a backupid using the "bpexpdate -recalculate -backupid <bacckupid> -copy 2 -ret 9.

How can i check wether the retention changed or not?

If i use the "bpimagelist -U -backupid <backupid>" it is giving only the primary copies retention period.

Pls help

Hi

We are using Symantec Netbackup 7.6 with Dell powervault 114T( with LTO-5 drives) . Is there is any indication to know how much data is written on the tape and what is the total capacity of tape.

And when the tape is full, is there any kind of alarm generated in Symantec Netbackup.

Thank You

I have following requirement in Windows2008 R2 - Netbakup 7.5 , tried many ways to convince the client for other plans but below requirement I need to implement

1. Stop the application
2. Take application folder to disk level backups on the same server – Z:\Backup
3. Start application
4. Take files in the Z:\Backup to tape from media server

I am following below process

1. Create a policy with automatic schedules for disk backup for step2 in above requirement
2. Create a policy with schedule and without backup window for tape backup for step4 in above requirement
3. Add the command to stop the application in bpstart_notify.bat and copy the file into bin directory in client
4. Add the commands to bpend_notify.bat

1. Command for application start
2. Cd\program files\veritas\netbackup\bin
3. bpbackup -i -p <policy_name> -s <schedule_name>

I have tested it it is working fine for now.

Please let me know if anything wrong in the above process or in future any problem i will face? and also any prerequisite I need to take before implementing it.

Hi,

Somehow I cannot install NBU 7.5 x64 version to one of our client server with windows server 2012. Most of the client servers were able to installed. But this particular server wont. Upon running of installation I got the error message: ERROR: Error 1935. An error occured during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.MFC,type="win32",version="8.0.50727.762",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="amd64". Please refer to Help and Support for more information.

My client installer is a 64 bit version.

Thanks and Regards

Hello,

I need help how to backup client Suse server. Backups were ok in past but now about one Month is not possible to backup it. Master and client are the same version of NetBackup 6.5.6 , connection seems to be ok, bptestbpcd ok, vnetd ok. All other clients server with same configuration run ok in this backup environment. Whole environment is not possible to upgrade to higher version of NetBackup because of old HW.

Backup ending with: ERR - Cannot write to STDOUT. Errno = 110: Connection timed out

I found one Technote where is discribed how to disable IPv6, its done, but backups still cant work and errors are the same.

<16> flush_archive(): ERR - Cannot write to STDOUT. Errno = 110: Connection timed out
<16> bpbkar Exit: ERR - bpbkar FATAL exit status = 24: socket write failed
<4> bpbkar Exit: INF - EXIT STATUS 24: socket write failed

Here are host_info settings:

# cat host_info

See bpcd and bpbkar logs attached.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

I'm configuring a NBU 7.6 master / media server on Windows 2012 R2 physical server.

I want to configure Advanced disk pool with some disk volumes. I need to know the best practice refers to the volume size. I plan a lot of 4 TB volumes to merge into one Disk Pool.

Is this a good practice?

Can I make volumes more bigger?

Hi

We are using Netbackup 7.6 with Dell PowerVault 114X( with 2 drive options).  After each backup to tape media, the respective tape ejects from the drive.

Is there any setting which needs to be done on Netbackup software or it's related to hardware.

Thank You

Hi Guys!

Good Morning,

The more a month I'm having trouble generating the volumetric report using the OpsCenter because the netbackup is not computing the amount of data copied.
Found that, in both is generating the same data, so I believe the problem is not the OpsCenter.
Someone had seen this problem?

Hi,
     Ghost devices are shown in scan -tape and tpautoconf -t.

We are trying to configure 5 new tape drives to an existing media server (it has two drives present already) Configured drives are working fine.
These two existing tape drives are SAS drives.

Device manager shows newly added drives along with already configured drives. All ghost entries are uninstalled as mentioned in Microsoft article.
http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/315539
Qlogic SANSurfer shows the same information as Windows.

Even tpconfig -report_disc is listing both non configured devices along with two ghost devices.

Hi:

We have Symantic Netbackup version 7.6.0.1

We are trying to backup VM's that are part of vCloud Suite (formely vCloud Director). The VM's are created under a sub organization. Here is an example url for an Org name "OUR-GROUP-ORG" - https://[FQDN]/cloud/org/[OUR-GROUP-ORG]/#/orgUserHome?

I am adding the new vCloud Suite Instance IP from "New" option under:

Administration Console -> Media and Device Manager -> Credentials -> Virtual Machines.

Authentication using my credentails to my specific org is failing and I do infact have admin credentials to my org.

I don't see an option to input the ORG name in NetBackup UI.

My login cedentials have access to only the OUR-GROUP-ORG above.

a. What specific privilages do I need to access/backup the VM's under my org form NetBackup UI?

b. And should I be doing something else to configure this.

Thanks!

Currently, I've 3 nbu master server(windows) with different domain(7.0, 7.1, 7.1)

I've planing to consolidate them and will be a Master server(unix server) with 7.6 version.

1. I needs upgrade nbu client(unix) that connected to existing master server then connect to new master server.

    How to upgrade nbu client(unix)?  Is there upgrade shell script like install script(./install)? or Uninstall then new install?

2. How to restore tape that already backed up from exiting master server to new master server?
