Preserve RMAN delete obsolete

$

I need a solution

Hi all,

 

I am lookup for another (better) solution where archive log backup retention in Netbackup will preserve against RMAN obsolete delete.   Actually we run any script frequently where we do change retention for critical Oracle images to infinity. Next solution is using WORM medium as preserve against rewriting critical data after expiration :-) .

SQL restoring with transaction log

$

I need a solution

Hello,

I need some advise please.

 

We are running Symantec Netbackup 7.5.0.6 on windows server 2008 R2 SP1.
 

We got SQL server 2008 R2 that backup Full backup every two weeks and transaction log every hour.

Yesterday I received a request to restore the database to month ago, so I chose for the restore the last full backup and all the transaction log until the requested date. Unfortunately it failed due to this following error:

ERR - Error in GetCommand: 0x80770004.
    CONTINUATION: - An abort request is preventing anything except termination actions.
DBMS MSG - ODBC return code <-1>, SQL State <37000>, SQL Message <4305><[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The log in this backup set begins at LSN 366151000000458700001, which is too recent to apply to the database. An earlier log backup that includes LSN 366151000000379700001 can be restored.>.
DBMS MSG - SQL Message <3013><[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.>
ERR - Error found executing <restore log "GVIYARST" from VIRTUAL_DEVICE='VNBU0-2828-356-1386781688' with  stats = 10, blocksize = 65536, maxtransfersize = 4194304, buffercount = 2, replace , norecovery>.
ERR - Error in VDS->Close: 0x80770004.

 

It seems that is trying to restore a recent transaction log after the DB is already restored to a later time point.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

BE 2012 Optimize Dupliacation - PureDisk

$

I need a solution

Hello

I need to be sure whether optimized duplication from BE 2012 Deduplication Storage Folder to Netabckup Pure Disk appliance will work.

BE admin guide and various tech documents says that optimized duplication is possible when we use devices from the same Vendor.
Backup Exec deduplication has Puredisk technology behind but so far I was not able to find any confirmation that it is possible ( again optimized duplication between BE 2012 DD storage folder and NBU Puredisk).

If some of You have some documents about it please share it.

I’m thinking about following implementation:

Few branch offices with BE 2012 DD Storage folder  plus one central location with BE as well and Pure disk attached using OST. All managed by CASO.
I want to replicate backups from branch offices to central location using optimized duplication.

What about GRT enabled backups ??  As far as I know there some limitation regarding GRT backups and its replication.

Thanks for any info

Scheduled Jobs Missed - On Hold, not rescheduling

I need a solution

Hi all - so my services hung the other day and I had a bunch of jobs "missed".  Now, those jobs are showing "on hold" and only one of my jobs is showing "scheduled" and has been running.  I don't want to "unhold" the jobs because I will be running the jobs from 12/6-12/9.  Instead, I'd like to move them out of the way and have Backup Exec reschedule the ordinary jobs to continue the ordinary process.  I attached a screenshot so you can see.  I can "delete" the job out of the Current Jobs area of Job Monitor but I am not sure if that deletes that instance of the job or the job itself entirely.  Can anyone assist?  I want to get my jobs scheduled on track as usual.

Please see attached screen shot!

Thanks,

Jon


REQUIRED_INTERFACE still valid on 7.5?

$
0
0
I need a solution

I haven't had to use REQUIRED_INTERFACE since version 6 days, but I was recently asked if there was a way to redirect backup traffic from a client via a separate NIC, so naturally I thought REQUIRED_INTERFACE would do the trick. However, in reading the admin guide, its not clear whether it is a supported parameter, with the new REQUIRED/PREFERRED_NETWORK settings that are available.

Also, is there an NBU log that would show that the backup connection is using the appropriate interface? I know you can check the stats on the client side during the backups, but I don't have access to the clients. And on the media server side, all the data goes to the same interface, regardless of which nic the client is sending the data from.

thanks

[Limit the number of Recovery Point sets saved for this backup] vs. [new recovery point set (base)]

[Limit the number of Recovery Point sets saved for this backup] vs. [new recovery point set (base)]

Atually I am a little confused here about this issue

 

Now my computer is fully backed up then I did the following

(1) What if I *replaced a folder on my computer  , Would SSR back that up including the both folders with the same name and different contents ?

(2) Is issue(1) controlled by the "limit number of Rec. point sets" ? = what I mean that If if I make the limit <2> >> So after the First big full backup - I changed a file 'counts 1' - then I changed it again 'counts 2' - then I CHANGED It AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME 'counts 3' , So  do i loss my first old set <1> and loss my files and it will be replaced by the last one ???

(3) [new recovery point set(base)] >> Does it mean that after, say a month, everything will be removed and a new backup will be done and all my files will be lost ? ----- if so? what if I do not need that ? .. I need to accumlate changes over changes, not even change it yearly or in a century

(4) for example, I need to back up my D-Parition, just one time and then accumlates every change I did on my computer that If i replaced one file with another in the same name different content, I go to my backup and find both the 2 folders backup well, may be over five times of changes "replace", it is ok to delete the first one and replace it by the last one ... so now I have always last five changes for the same file

---------------------------------------------------------------

(5) Is there anyway to browse my backed up data on another computer ? without installing Symantec things

just open folder normally by 2 left mouse clicks ?? ..

 

that the backup reads any change I did and then I can easily handle my data on any any any other computer, just a copied folder but aupdated with any changes I did

====================================================================

*Replaced = [replaced "x" folder with some content with "x" folder but different contents]

 

 

I am glad for getting some program like that, simply a PROFESSIONAL one ..

 

Thanks in advance, I hope I am really not bothering you , xD

OpsCenter 7.6 Upgrade Purge Setting Changes - Important for Analytics Users - Please Read!

$

I do not need a solution (just sharing information)
In OpsCenter 7.6, purge settings will change from 420 to 220 days.
 
For fresh 7.6 installations, there should be no cause for concern.
 
However, upgrades from previous versions of OpsCenter, could cause a large amount of historical job information to be purged from OpsCenter.
 
Symantec NetBackup OpsCenter 7.6 Administrator's Guide PDF
 
pg. 254
 
Note:  Before OpsCenter 7.6,the default data purge period for the backup jobs data was 420 days.
             In case of OpsCenter 7.6 upgrade, the default data purge period that is displayed for backup jobs data
            depends on what you had in the previous  OpsCenter version.
            If you retained the default data purge period in the previous OpsCenter version (that is 420 days), in OpsCenter 7.6, it is set to 220 days.
            If you changed the default data purge period in the previous OpsCenter version, the same period is displayed in OpsCenter 7.6. 
 
For example: If you changed the default period in OpsCenter 7.5 from 420 to 500 days, in OpsCenter 7.6, it is set to 500 days
 
 
In short, if you have never changed your default purge settings from 420 days (default) in OpsCenter 7.0, 7.1, or 7.5, and upgrade to 7.6, your default will become 220 days. When OpsCenter triggers its purge cycle, 200 days of historical information will be lost.
 
Please Note:  This is only for users that have never modified the default purge setting of 420 days, in previous releases.

Services stopping and starting

I need a solution

I am having a bit of a problem. The problem seems to be Windows related but I want to make sure that there isn't a related issue. Here are the particulars:

Windows 2003 R2 SP2

OpsCenter 7.1.0.4

This happens to be a VM.

I'm getting alerts that the Server and WMI services are stopped. When I check, they are running. A look into the events logs show that they were stopped and started, but give no indication what stopped them.

Has anyone seen this before. Could OpsCenter be causing this somehow.

Thanks,

Backup Exec 2012 encrypting tapes with Quantum's QEKM

$

I need a solution

I need to enable hardware encryption yet I don't want Backup Exec to manage any keys. Quantums has a QEKM, Quantum Encryption Key Manager Server, that handles all the key. I noticed that in the past on other backup software, that if the QEKM server is down the backup will not happen. With Backup Exec it appears it doesn't matter. How do I set Backup Exec to ignore the keys and still do hardware encryption?

I see under each drive in Backup Exec that it says under "Supports Hardware Encryption:" No

Which is incorrect because I own the license and the library says it is working just fine. Is this a drive issue with Backup Exec?
