NetWorker still has savegroup notifications. Check the action field for this notification to see where it sends the group report to. By default, the default is to use nsrlog to send the savegroup completion to the /nsr/logs/savegroup.raw. Some administrators prefer to change this to email the...

>>When running: mminfo -avot -q "group='Weekly Pool',savetime>'-n days'," -r volume, savetime(20)" There appears to be a comma after '-n days' Try using: mminfo -avot -q "group=Weekly Pool,savetime>-n days" -r "volume,savetime(20)

Erasing the tape is not related to NetWorker operations. erase and tapeexercise would, or should, work even if NetWorker was not started. If it is a Unix system, the "dd" utility can also be used. mt -f /dev/rmt/0cbn rewind dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rmt/0cbn bs=32k count=10 Try using a...

Either the tape cartridge has the write protect tab on, or something is at the beginning of the tape that makes NetWorker think the tape is read only. Before NetWorker will label any tape, it will try to see if there is a NetWorker tape label. This is done by reading the first 64 KB of tape...

When looking at client id's, it's better to run something like the following, and then examine the output file: mminfo -avot -r client,client | sort | uniq > clientid.txt ( 'uniq' is a Unix utility ) The reason for this is because you may not know what the fqdn is, or there may be a...

You cannot delete client id's. You can, however, reassign a client id to a different n/w client. In addition, backup savesets are owned by client id, not client names. Questions: - when are you trying to recover from? - determine the ssid of the saveset you are trying to recover. Also...

Did the installation complete, or did it roll out and not install? Does task manager show a nsrexecd.exe running? Was there a "NetWorker Remote Exec Service" in the list of services? These would tell you if NetWorker was successfully installed as a service. By default, the "NetWorker Remote...

This depends on what version of sharepoint you are using? If it is sharepoint 2000, then the NetWorker backup client saveset is SHAREPOINT:. This needs a sharepoint license. If this is sharepoint 2003 or later, then this is backed up using NetWorker module for SQL. Any version of NetWorker...

Try using NetWorker Management Console. it has good reporting capabilities now and should be able to generate the reporting that you want. With NetWorker 7.3 and later, you no longer need a license to use NMC. You can download 7.3.x/7.4, then only install NMC and configure it to gather data...

Windows upgrading (as opposed to uninstall and then install) does nothing to the configuration. It will automatically: - stop networker - uninstal the current version - instal the new version - start networker Always make an online copy of the res folder before making any configuration...

The Microsoft article that you provided also tells you to add the Persistence registry entry after you install the MS hotfix... this is how you set up persistent binding in Windows. Regardless, once windows is booted and the devices are discovered and assign a drive path, then there is no...

There is a couple of patches that are in 7.3.2 build 399 for NetWorker Management Console that relates to the console not refreshing itself. You didn't mention what jumbo version you are running. build 364 is the original 7.3.2 jumbo 11 was the first jumbo after b386 build 386 is also...

Assume that you did a full backup at point B and incremental backups at point C and D. Then if you perform a database recovery right after point D, then it would recover the full backups, then recover and playback the transaction logs from C and D. Unless in the recover options you disabled...

Usually you would also want to backup the client file index to the same pool. In a complete server failure, you would need to recover the bootstrap and the indexes, so having them all in the same pool would be helpful.

Do you really need to backup the Exchange SRS??? Site Replication Service (SRS) implies that you are using Exchange 5.5 in an active directory environment with other Exchange 2000/2003 servers. Is this correct? SRS could be enabled, but not used/configured. Verify this with your exchange...
