Need help with the backup Selection

I need a solution

Hi All 

Below are the environmental details 

Master Server : 7.6.0.4 ( RHEL ) 

Media Server : 2.6.0.4 / Aappliance 52330 

Client ( Win 2008 ) 

We have three drives on client C:\ , F: and E:\ 

C and F drive is less in size but E drive contains around 5.5 TB of data .There are around 11 folders. in E drive  Since the client is at remote site the backup speed we are getting is a bit slow and it takes 4-5 days when doing full backup of E drive .Therefore I created seperate policy for this client with below selection and enabled multistreaming in the policy 

C:\

F:\

E:\*

I also enabled checkpoint , resiliense network , accelerator and client side dedup for this client and triggered the  backup . Now when the backup is triggered F drive backup fails with Error 90 and hence the parent job failed as well . 

Below are the job details for the failed job

This is what we see in the file list when I open the failed job

SET SNAP_ID=vds_bos_env_storagepc_1431756725
BACKUP F:\ USING \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy147\ OPTIONS:ALT_PATH_PREFIX=C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\temp\_vrts_frzn_img_7112_1,FITYPE=MIRROR,MNTPOINT=F:\,FSTYPE=NTFS

The backups are going to appliance and I was expecting one backup stream created for each folder in E Drive . 

So what I want to know is

a) Why F drive backup failed with error 90 , when it used to backup successfully when all local drive was selected 

b) There should be one backup stream for each of the folder in E , but thats not what is happening

Oracle backup and restore issues

0
0
I need a solution

Hello,

I am new by to Symantec BE, one of my customers is interested in BE as a backup solution for his Oracle databases, but we have some difficulties in using BE for that purpose and I need your assistance please, we've started the demo by backing up a single tablespace then restore it, the backup was very successful according to BE's report, but when we restored it the whole Oracle instance got corrupted, but it's a testing instance so we have no data lose, I've read the user's guide of the product but I still have few questions:

  1. regarding backup, or let's say a correct backup method, for the very first backup, should I perform a full backup of the whole instances? or I can just backup a single tablespace? 
  2. the customer deleted some records after taking that backup, but when restoring, the process fails, I need to know what should I exactelly restore to retreive the deleted records, should I restore the control file for the whole instance or just do a database restore and choose that tablespace? the restoration os performed on the same DB server, just to recover the lost records, not redirecting the data.
  3. I am confused and don't know what is meant by "restoring from online database" in the restore wizard, I can't figure out what exactelly is backed up withing the backup sets, it's very confusing.

the administrator's guide is a bit confusing here, especialy that there's no screen shots, nothing useful on youtube as well.

Awaiting your kind responses.

Thanks,

Redirecting NetBackup logs to another drive and estimated size on windows client

0

I need a solution

Hello All,

Typically I face a lot of resistance from OS admin or application owners when enabling NetBackup logs on the client, in this case windows. Couple of questions which I always get asked is can we redirect the logs to another drive which has more space and how much will the size of the logs. I do not know of way if eirther is possible.

However I just wanted to be sure and was wondering if any of you SME's  know if its possible to place the log folder on another drive other that the one NetBackup is installed on. Also typically what would be the size of the various log files  and is there way to truncate them after it reaches a particular size.  

Thank You.

Netbackup 7.6.1.1 VMware Snapshot Jobs stuck waiting for deletion

0

I need a solution

Hi,

We have just upgraded to 7.6.1.1 and have a new issue whereby every day 5-10 of 50 or so of our VMware Snapshot backups sit waiting for the snapshot created at the start of the job to delete.

The child job to back up the snapshot completes sucesfully and VMware does sucesfully delete the snapshot created for netbackup, but for some reason the message that this deletion has completed doesn't ever get back to the netbackup console and the jobs just sit there indefinately until they are cancelled by the administrator.

It effects differernt cilents every day, across several different polices and on different media servers.

Has anyone come across this problem? It seems to be new with 7.6.1.1

If anyone can give me and idea of what logs might be useful to look in that would be really helpful.

Although the backup are working correctly the hung jobs are taking up precious slots in our backup window and stopping others from running.

I need a solution

Friends,

I have got strange problem going where one of my media server keep on rebooting mostly over the weekend.

OS SuSe Linux 11 SP2

NBU 7.6.0.3

Physical box HP DL180 G6

Its an onsite appliance that backs up client locally and replicate (AIR) to central location. 

/var/log/messages doesn't contain much information..

I have ran the HP diagnostic to see if there are any problem with hardware componenets but all came out. 

I have upgraded the FW and number of drivers and due to upgrade BIOS but i dont think abnormal reboot has anything to do with BIOS. 

Has anyone seen this problem. any input/ideas will highly be appreicated otherwise i would have no choice except to rebuilt the server.

Hi All,

I am running NetBackup Enterprise 7.6.1 on Solaris 11. Just this morning I started to get a strange event. When ever I use the Java GUI to make changes to the NB database I get a, short lived, Java box that says "Action succeeded but auditing failed" with no error message number. It doesn't sound too dangerous But I would like to find out what's happening.

Thanks!

SQL backup error

I need a solution

Hello,

Thanks for your detailed explaination, really informative. I do like some clarification on the best practices to back MS SQL with Symantec Backup Exec 2012.

I'm having a MS SQL 2008 RT thats installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2, Standard Edition. This server hosts almost 18Databases, I've checked all of them and found that all the Databases are set on Full Recovery Model.

Backup Exec is configured to run Daily, Weekly and Monthly always as Full Backup. I found that all the databases log files are reaching bigger than the database file size.

After reading this article, I have configured one more backup to run after the Daily as Incremental with Log Backup and another Incremental with Differential Backup.

Now whenever a backup runs, it leave a Warnning/Explination mark as the backup completed with Execptions.

Any help / thoughts?

Thanks,
