    Split a BIG Drive

    I've used that technote before and it works. You have to have the exclude (W:\Drive3\*) configured first. Then the include W:\Drive3\[a-dA-D]*\* would work.

    NDMP Netbackup Newbie - can't backup NDMP Host

    NetBackup client software cannot be installed on the NDMP filer (Symantec doesn't make an agent that actually installs on the filer itself.) That is why admins cannot click the browse to 'see' selections on the filer. You have to manually enter the paths as they would appear if you were logged...

    Scanning tape labels in a robot

    I think you're looking to perform an inventory. The following command lists the media contents of TLD robot 1 and the volume configuration for that robot on the host named niagra, along with a list of any mismatches that are detected: vmcheckxxx -rt tld -rn 1 -rh niagra -h niagra You should be...

    Windows 2003 X64 as OS for NBU

    Be sure to hit the OS Compatibility Lists for NBU 5.x and 6.0...some versions only support 64 bit as client and not as a mediasvr/master...depends upon the CPU platform too. 5.x: http://ftp.support.veritas.com/pub/support/products/NetBackup_Enterprise_Server/263839.pdf 6.0...

    Configure backup_exit_notify to duplicate a particular policy/schedule's backup upon backup exit.

    1. Add following lines to the /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/backup_exit_notify script after the 8 'echo' statements: [color green] ############begin custom edits############# if [ "$5" -gt 1 ] then exit 1 fi ###### if [ "$2" = "laptopTest" ] then...

    DSSU won't do multiple copies?

    Here's what I did: - added following lines to the master server's /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/backup_exit_notify script before the 'echo' statements: #######start custom edits########### if [ "$2" = "laptopTest" ] then /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpduplicate -dstunit DSU_vault -dp...

    DSSU won't do multiple copies?

    Per page 160 of the NBU System Administrator's Guide: "The option to create multiple copies is not allowed for synthetic backups." ...bummer. You could duplicate that synthetic later. Or you could use a bpend_notify specific to the policy and synthetic schedule name that kicks off a...

    Catalog Migration - How to Migrate a Catalog?

    Me again...that last command won't work either...because the density has to be the word, not the density number. But you should get my drift. You'll have to use the '-L' switch with the bpimmedia command to get it to display density as the word. You'll have to edit my *nix syntax to pull the...

    Catalog Migration - How to Migrate a Catalog?

    Correction: I fixed that bpimmedia command, this one works (all one line): bpimmedia | grep FRAG | cut -f7,9 -d ' ' | sort | uniq | awk '{print "bptm -makedbentry -m "$2" -den "$1" -poolnum 1"}'

    Catalog Migration - How to Migrate a Catalog?

    Here is what I would try if this were my problem and all I wanted was the /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images information to move to the Linux master... - upgrade the Solaris master to 6.0 as there may be differences in the image database header/.f structure - run following command to create a...

    DSSU won't do multiple copies?

    Yo, you probably have Host Properties of your master > Global Settings 'maximum copies' set at default of 2. Run this to check the Maximum backup copies: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpconfig -U Run this to change it: bpconfig -max_copies 10 ...or whatever # you want up to 10. Then...

    How to Find out what is getting backed up?

    the bpcoverage command is a good start as far as what file systems on what servers got backed up. Beyond that, check out bplist and bpflist commands to list what directories/files got backed up by specific backups.

    bpend_notify scripts on Windows

    Yo, the following 2 scripts will stop the Windows 'Automatic Updates' service at the start of the first backup stream and then stop the service at conclusion of last stream. Enjoy! @REM BPSTART_NOTIFY.bat contents: @echo "" > c:\temp\backup\%1.%STREAM_PID% @REM IF THIS IS THE FIRST STREAM...

    why are there double back slashes in the bpdbjobs -reports allcolums

    Yo, just run 'bpdbjobs -all_columns' the '-report' can be left out (it is the default anyway).

    Netbackup 5.1 can't connect to client anymore

    Yo, you got a bpstart_notify.bat or .cmd (I forgot the extension) script at \NetBackup\bin on the client. Rename that and retry. If you need the script, increase the timeouts. Lata
