Hi, please can anyone help explain..when a job has multiple schedules, how does Netbackup 5.1 work out which schedule is due to run? I have a job with 3 schedules with different frequencies: Daily_Incremental - freq. 1 day, M-Th 8pm-8am Weekly_Full - freq. 4 days, Fri 8pm-Mon 8am Monthly_Full -...

Hi, please can anyone help. I have a lot of tapes with 0 valid images on them, showing in the media list report. They're not frozen or suspended and as far as I can tell, they should have expired out of the media list. I think it's because the 'bpexpdate -deassignempty' command isn't working...

Hi, we intentionally set the retention period of a bunch of tapes to infinity using the "bpexpdate -ev <tapeID> -d infinity command". Now we want them to be reset back to the original expiry dates (a 3 month retention). I've reset the expiry dates of the backups back to 3 months using...

Hi, please help, this one's driving me mad. We have Netbackup 5.1, W2K. Multiple libraries (mainly Storagetek), multiple sites, multiple master servers. If I eject some tapes using the Netbackup Admin GUI, the robot puts the tapes into the media access port so that our on-site tape ops...

Hi, I seem to be asking questions that noone can answer but here goes again anyway.... How do I (or can I) back up a range of Exchange mailboxes with NB3.4.1? I believe I can use wildcards in NB4.5 and above, ie. in the policy files list I can specify "Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes\[a-f]*", but...

Hi please can someone help I'm trying to verify that what images Netbackup thinks is on a tape are actually on a tape. I believe the bpverify command (or Catalog Verify GUI) can do this. However when I start a verify operation using the GUI, the results window shows the following, then...

Hi please can anyone help...NB5.1MP1 W2K3...got a client that has suddenly stopped backing up, backup jobs hang at the 'begin writing' stage. VSP is *apparently* disabled (via master server properties, client attributes tab), but when the backup is running there is a bpfis process that appears...

Via the bpdbm -consistency report we have identified some inconsistencies in our Netbackup catalogs. Basically we have some images in our image database (ie. images on media report) that shouldn't be there, they should have expired long ago, relating to expired tapes that no longer appear in the...

I have a single W2K NB4.5 backup job that contains two full backup schedules. One called WEEKLY, with a start window on Sunday and frequency of 3 days (to ensure it runs every Sunday at least 3 days after the last one, ie. once per week), the other called MONTHLY with a start window on Friday...

Hi, imagine a full backup that has run for hours, writing 200GB to tape, but then fails for whatever reason near the end, so I don't have a valid full backup of that 200GB worth of files - in other words, those files *haven't* been backed up. However, will the archive bits on the 200GB of...

Hi, a couple of weeks ago we had to rebuild a media server. I did a fresh install of NB and restored the netbackup\db\media (including the mediadb), netbackup\db\var, volmgr\database folders from the most recent backup. It appears to be working, backups on that media server work fine and...

Hi, does the backslash make a difference when specifying a drive to back up in the backup policy file list? I've took on support of our Netbackup backups and I noticed we had a job that specified c: in the file list, but on trying to restore from these backups (the full backups), I've found...
