The fiber card was replaced in the FT media server, I followed the step by step instructions from the guiide on "marking target ports" in RHEL. The issue is when I run the command /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbhba -modify -wwn [ wwn string] -mode target it changes all the nodes to target. Same thing if I switch them to Initiator it changes them all not just the 2 that I need as target. The system has 2- 2port QLogic 2342 in stalled. Any suggestions? Thanks

I have just installed SQL Server 2012 SP2 and have installed the Backup Exec 2012 agent. I see the server in the console and the credential test works fine. When I try to setup a backup for just the databases, I see no options to do this. Only to backup the disks. The SQL server agent and database agents are enabled on the BE server.

Any idea what I am missing? I was expecting to see options to backup only databases.

Hello,

I have very stupid kind of question. We have Linux server given us as master. It has two IPs one in prod network one in backup network.

Prod network name:- master

Backup network interface name: - master-bkp

I have configured the installed the server with the name with "master". Now I am thinking to uninstall NBU and install every thing with "master-bkp".

Right now we have added two DB backups in this new master server. How wise it is to do. Datadomain is also on bkp network.

Hi All,

When I installed new media server 7.5.0.6 on linux redhat  2.6.32-431.23.3.el6.x86_64, it asked a question: "

sfmsap1blpc  sfmsap1clpc nodes are not ssh equivalent
Passwordless SSH is not configured between cluster nodes
It is recommended to use SSH for secure communication
Do you want to use RSH instead? [y,n] (n) n

after I said Yes , I think itnstallation failed because I am not able to see /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf

Anyone see that message before and how can I fix that issue? Thank you.

We have about 3 TB of data across 4 virtual servers running Redhat Linux on an IBM Blade Center. Net Backup for back up on IBM LTO Autoloader.  Compliance requires 15 years of Data to be available.

Q 1.  I would like to take a full back up out at least once a year.  Do I need additional tape drive to do that or the single drive of the autoloader help me create a copy that can be taken off site?

Hi,
 
We have to take an encrypted NDMP tape backups from a NetApp filer connected via fiber to LTO 4 tape library. Backups jobs (schedules) should handle by Symantec Netbackup software.

My questions are about encrypting the data before the data goes on tape. 

1. Is encryption possible? If so, who controls the encryption keys?

2. What sort of licenses do we require in Symantec Netbackp?

3. Do we need to buy an encryption kit for our tape library?

4. Since the actual data path is through NetApp Filer to tape, does it really require to have encryption license in Symantec Netbackup?

5. What is the minimum version of NDMP & Netbackup supported?

6. How can this system be set up?

Many thanks

We recently upgraded BE 2010 R2 to 2014 and get the following error when trying to back up one of our servers:

"Final error: 0xe00084f8 - The network connection to the Backup Exec Remote Agent has been lost. Check for network errors."

What we've done so far:

• Set a rule in SEPM to not allow SEP to scan the file beremote.exe.
• Spoke to Symantec BE tech support who had me run numerous pings between the BE server and the remote server which did NOT detect any network connectivity issues.
• Uninstalled/reinstalled the BE remote agent.
• Removed/restablished the trust relationship between the BE server and remote server.

The issue is still unresolved. Please help!

Hi All,

I need to know how do we calculate the required disk space for customers that how much cpacity of MSDP pool they needed to manage their backup environment. 

Actually I am facing difficulties with few customers, where MSDP pool is getting full. Now I wanted to analyze and setup SLPs with different retentions so that MSDP disk pool wont get full. Most of the customers requirement are to keep the first copy with 2 weeks retention on disk and then duplicate it to tape with AIR replication.

Kindly help me with any tool and calculated formula for MSDP pools on Symantec Appliances 5220, 5230.

Thank you for your help.

We backup 5 servers to a NAS. This all worked before we had a drive failure. So 1 drive failed on the NAS (disks are RAID so the NAS continued to operate). We replaced the defective disk and now none of the jobs run (full and incremental on 5 servers = 10 jobs). An inventory works fine. Inventory and catalog does not. I have recreated a couple of the backup jobs and those fail too. Test run fails on existing jobs but works on new test run with new B2D storage. The existing jobs give a status of Ready: no writeable idel devices available. All B2D storage reports online. This stopped working when we replaced the faulty drive so i feel like i need to somehow "reinitialize" the B2D storage (i have rebooted the server). Any suggestions as to how to get our jobs working again?

I have an additional question on the Media Sets..

I found this on the Admin Guide:

The append period starts when the first
backup job is written to this media

For example I have a media set of 4 tapes, as I understand they have the same attributes such as OPP & APP.

Questions:

1. Will the OPP expire at the same time for all tapes of the media set or is it a per tape basis depending on when was the specific tape last written to?

2. Will the APP expire at the same time or is it a per tape basis depending on when was the specific tape first written to ? (The first second data was started to be written to tape)

3. You adviced one job per media set.

 Can we have multiple jobs write to the same media set ? For Backup Exec 2012, as I remember we could have multiple jobs write to the same tape or tapes.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi there

I am facing an issue here with my vmware backups and maybe someone can help me.

Here is configuration:
master server -solaris 10

media server - windows 2008R2

netbackup 7.1

vmware version 5.5

policy type flashbackup-windows

In this policy there are 4 VMs

2 of them have vmtools in older version (prior to vmware migration from 4 to 5.5) and they show no error when trying to check what to restore in file and folder tree view

Other 2 had 3rd party ones (all 4 are some kind of linux boxes) and showed error stated in title of this post

I faced the error when those 2 had 3rd party vmtools installed and thought that that was the reason. I installed current vmtools, but  I still face the same error.

Interesing thing is, when I choose to restore from virtual machine backup, I do get whole vmdk file available for those 2 machines that show error (this proves that I can restore whole VM, rather than specific files and folders from this client).

I've checked and client name appears in console in capital letter (the same it appears in vmware infrastructure and I am stating the same name in BAR console).

Any thoughts?

thanks

Dear Team, I was in this forum for an help in configuring mail notification. I have configured notification by backup_exit_notification script and blat. However, as per the client's demand I have modified the script so that the mail notification in the subject line carries clear information of success / failure of backup. However after I made that change, the email notofication stopped. Here is the script after modification. I have attached the modified script

If I am running the blat command used in script from command line as below it is working and I am receiving mail.

blat %OUTF% -to  xxxxxxxxxx@abcgroup.com  -s "Backup for %1 : Policy %2 : on %DATE% has been %STATUS%" -q

However, when the same command is inserted in the last part of backup_exit_notify script, and if I execute the script from command prompt it is not sending mail.

Suspecting some errors in the script I have fired the command like below from command line.

~bin:> backup_exit_notify >c:\mail.log 2>&1 .

However no error messages are found logged in mail.log.

Could any one help to fix the problem with this script.

Thanks and regards

Hi

When i add the target storage server for AIR configuration, it is asking the credentials. I am confused whether i have to give login credential of the target appliance or the deduplication credentials of the target appliance.

Above two links are confusing me.

I need help. I work in distributer and have Backup Exec 3600 Demo Appliance. How can I to upgradу USB module from Backup Exec Appliance to Backup Exec Appliance 3.0 R3?

My client should reset the appliance to default factory settings after testing.

Hello,

I have selected "enable optimized backup of Windows deduplicated volumes"  attribute on a policy where dedup'ed data on a Win2012R2 server should be backed up. The problem is that the data is being backerd up is accually nondeduped / rehydrated / "full" size when I run a full backup. 7.6TB instead of 4.5TB is being transfered...

The NFS server and client is installed and the NetBackup Client Service is running as local admin according to the instructions:

http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?pag...

And according to the 7.6 Admin guide my selection list in the policy is \system volume information\dedup (at the top) and then the actual data folder.

The target storage is basic disk (not MSDP) and I have "TIR restore... with Move detection" enabled on the policy.

The Master/Media server is running 7.6.0.3 on Win2008R2. The client (with the deduped data) is running 7.6.0.3 on Win2012R2.

Thanks for any suggestions!
