Sorry if I have not make the info clear... Master server - NBU 5.1MP3 on Solaris 8 Client OS - Win2k, Win2k3 and Solaris I am not sure where to get the IDR software and the necessary guide. New to it. thanks

Hi, I just heard of IDR and am interested in setting up IDR for netbackup to be used for windows 2k/2k3. Anyone had any pointers on where I can find the software (in which Veritas CD) and how to setup the IDR for Windows recovery? Thanks.

Hi, Everytime I restore my XP workstation from Ghost backup, I have to ask the administrator to come to my notebook and rejoin it to the domain. Is there any files that I can backup and restore together with the Ghost restoration so that the workstation is still joined to the domain whenever I...

Hi, I have sendmail running on Solaris that interfaces with the corporate mail system. Recently, I have user requesting that the mail sent from their applications to have the sender name in the form of apps-id@abc.com, rather than with their name picked up from the gecos field of the password...

Hi, I have checked the 'Backup Network drive' in the policy. I have specify 'G:\to-be-backup' in the 'files' tab. However, the netbackup still cannot find anything to backup. I checked from the explorer and everything is readable. Am I missing something? Thanks.

Hi, I have a few network drive mapping on my v4.5 (w2k) master server, which I would want netbackup to do the backup. It appeared that netbackup is not recognising the network drive mapping. Is it possible to do network drive backup or UNC path backup? Thanks. cavie

Hi, I am running Netbackup datacentre 4.5GA on Solaris 8. Everytime, I try to run jnbSA using X-display on the dt GUI, it will give the following errors. BTW, the DISPLAY variable is properly set and xhost is done. Everything work fine if I use Exceed. I try to debug but cannot find any...

Thanks to all who had responded. I have checked and realised 'net use' is essentially a session based command. No way to inherit this session properties to other session. The only way is to use UNC path directly, but that mean you will require authentication everytime u setup a session.

Hi David, Agreed with the following "Since you are using scheduler to call each job, just put the commands into the batch file for each different job, i.e., establish the job drive, run the job, delete the drive and exit. " The problem is that some jobs make take a while to complete and it...

I have the following requirements: On my scheduler, o In the morning, I have a job to use 'net use' to mapped to a number of servers o From morning to evening time, I have jobs to copy files from time to time from one mapped drive to another. o In the evening, I want a job to delete all...

Hi, I have a netbackup datacentre v4.5 on Solaris 2.8. The catalog is growing day by day and I am quite worried that it will reached it filesystem limits. I am quite puzzled by the trends as the backup is 2 month-cycle. After 2 months, it is still growing. I wonder if there is anyway to...

I am currently running netbackup datacentre 4.5Ga on Solaris 8, both media and master on one machine. Recently I encountered catalog backup error, which keeps showing error status 50. I found out that this had been corrected in MP2 patch and above. I am thinking of upgrading the server to...

Hi Karthik, I was just hoping I can switch between the catalog database. Is there any way I can do it? I have not done any import of whole catalog before. Wonder would that overwrite existing catalog data? Thx... cavie

Hi, I have a similar question. Basically i have 2 master server at the production site, but there is only 1 master server at the DR site. Is there a way that I can have 2 separate catalog loaded on the same master server at the DR site? Thx in advance.

Thx, comtec17. Feel more assured now.
