I need a solution
We have a large number of WAN sites on local backup exec2010 solutions. I need to commence backing all these sites to the a central location using Netbackup
Pre migration questions
- I intend to have just 1 policy WAN-Backups and have all the sites as client to this policy. Is this a good idea?
- Also was wondering if there are any issues with Backup exec agent and Netbackup running on the same client as might be needed before final cut over?
Migration Plan
My Migration plan per site over two weekends per site include
Weekend1
- Run full backup on remote site with Backup Exec as normal
- Send BE tapes to central location
- Restore Backup Exec tapes into Netbackup http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH125069
- Seed restored data into Netbackup MSDP pool
Weekend 2
- Run full back up on remote site with Backup Exec as normal
- Disable backup exec services ( ?? is this needed)
- Install Netbackup agent on remote client
- Edit pd.conf file on client to use seeding fingerprint cache
- Run first NetBackup backup job. (Will backup windows be adequate? if not can Backup exec and Netbackup overlap if needed???)
- Uninstall Backup exec
- Enable Netbackup client-side dedupe , accelerator
