Bob, What about a windows environment. The cumulative wont backup files backed up in the DIFF cos the archive bit has been cleared. See my worried CINC post on Symantec !! - Darren

Hi, I am trying to fine tune the buffer configuration for an oldish NT client being saved via a gigabit dedicated network to a W2K Media server with LTO1 SSO drives. However I cannot get client side bpbkar logs to display any "delayed" buffer messages despite logging going from 0 to max. Media...

Cheers Bob just what I wanted. Sorry, I meant master server license issues. Thanks again.

Hi, Does anybody know if you can manage a 4.5 MP6 environment via Remote Admin Console at release 5.1 MP2. I am managing two environments and am about to upgrade one from 4.5 MP6 to 5.1 MP2, and also upgrade R.A.C on my PC to 5.2 MP2 I will not be able to upgrade the other env for some...

Hi, I have NBU 4.5 MP6 installed and am looking to install media server s/w on linux redhat ES 3.4. However I believe 4.5 FP6 is needed as a minimum patch level for this OS. I don't particularly want to upgrade my master at the moment so my question is this. Is anybody running 4.5 FP6 media...

Bob, I think I may have cracked it. Initial testing looks promising. Try this. @echo off REM Netbackup script that runs after end of backup to re-start Virus checker set OUTF=c:\"program files"\veritas\netbackup\logs\bpend_notify.POLICY.txt date /t >> %OUTF% time /t >> %OUTF% echo...

Has anybody scripted a bpend_notify.POLICY.bat script on W2K to identify the last stream to finish ? I dont want virus checker to restart until the last stream is done. At the moment it would be restarted by all streams. I know the STREAM_NUMBER and STREAM_COUNT but cant work out a way to only...

Hi, I am trying to read Backup Exec media on a W2K media server. I have installed NBU 4.5 MP6 and the BE Tape Reader, no Backup Exec s/w existed on this server, it was a new server. I am using a stand-alone DLT8000 drive for this testing. When I run the bephyinv -m BE0001 -h voldb_host, it...

Hello, I have been using Netbackup for years on Unix and pretty ok with that. However we now plan to start migrating our windows servers from backup exec to NetBackup. I have little windows experience. What is the best way to set up the windows drives ? Some single drives could be 145 GB...

Hi again, Its late on a Friday and I must not have a life ! My bpmedia -movedb commands seem to be taking much longer these days. We regularly restore from our duplicates that are taken offsite and do -movedb's of the media required, and then back once the restore has done. FULL...

Hi all, Has anybody looked at or bought Datacentrix version of advanced reporter. I am installing it on a trial basis next week and would like anybody's opinions. Many thanks

Thanks comtec17, I will look into the firmware revisions.

Hi Comtec17, I am creating our Year End tapes, but the images needed were previously duplicated on the night those backups were performed. I normally have number of duplications set to 2, so until the first set of dupes expire, I couldnt create a 3rd copy. I changed the setting to 3 to be...

Hi, NBU 4.5 MP6, HP-UX 11.nn SSO STK L180's, 6 LTO1 drives, HP Surestore Bridges between SAN and drives. In all my media server bptm logs I regularly get the following when running backup and duplications. get_tape_position_for_read: cannot read tape position, read_position scsi command...

Does anybody use the available_media script. Have you noticed it does a bpmedialist for each assigned media. I have changed ours to do a bpmedialist -mlist -l to a flat file before the media loop, then changed the bpmedialist in the loop to a grep of mediaiD from the flat file. Info may be...
