Hi we are running Netbackup 5 mp7. We have an automatic vault policy in the activity monitor in queue but stuck there for days. It can not be stopped or deleted. We have rebooted the master server. Any ideas? Thanks, Jay

Hi everyone. Does anyone know if you can take an old tape that was written to by backup exec and extract the data back onto hard disk using Netbackup 5.0?

Hello all!! Here's the deal. Lets say you pull out an old tape, no barcode or catalog to go with it. You want to put it in your tape device and read it. Does anyone know the procedure viewing the data from an unmarked tape. prior to our current management, some of our client and catalog...

Hello everyone! Does anyone know how I can view how much leftover space is available on an LTo3 tape in a library? I am looking at a media list and realize that it may be time to eject some tapes that have been written to but would like to get an Idea of how much available space there is on...

Hi, here's the situation. We recently installed a new master server and Storagetek L80 LTO robot. We had to also install a stand alone SDLT drive to accomodate restores from previous SDLT backups. THE PROBLEM: When we go to restore data from an SDLT tape, NBU is looking for the data in the...

NETBACKUP 5 mp6 Hi folks, heres one I am trying to figure out. I am looking at the details of a duplication failure "Status 191: no images were successfully processed". Within the details box some of the lines read: Warning bpdm(pid=2640) socket option SO_REUSEADDR failed, errno = 2, No such...

Thank you RustyMajor, but there were no entries in the media list that resembled A#####. As I said previously in my list by slot number, some numbers were skipped ie; 1 2 3 4 5 7 8 9 11 etc. This morning I attempted a deferred eject which yielded a few tapes. I then added a few tapes to the...

I am not familiar or sure if there is such software installed on this master server but will find out shortly. I am covering for someone and believe I would have been informed during my short training session. Will get back to you...

Hi I am new to netbackup 50 mp6. I have been observing someone in charge of managing a plethora of approx 119 daily / weekly / monthly policies. One of the daily procedures is to run a deferred eject (to a large robotic library), rotate the ejected tapes and then inventory the new tapes back to...
