NBU Master is 7.6 and NBU client is 6.5
hi,
we have a new nbu master server with 7.6 version.
most of our clients is on Solaris 10 11/06 and HPUX 11.23 iA64 and SuSE9 which are not supported.
Currently, this clients has nbu 6.5.4 ver installed on it.
Question is can we perform backup given that master is 7.6 and client is on 6.5?
Thanks in advance.

Windows Admin Rights
Hello Experts,
We have a very weird situation out Admin rights on our windows 2008 R2 Master servers i.e 7.6 are being revoked by the management and we were
told to run netbackup with oridinary rights lets say power users by the management. We tested it in windows but we could not open netbackup
console and many commands are not being exucuted lets say Robtest and below. So is there so that we can manage our whole netbackup
operations without the Windows Admin rights?
We could not run commands as well.
C:\Program Files\Veritas\Volmgr\bin>tpconfig
Access to perform the operation was denied
C:\Program Files\Veritas\Volmgr\bin>tpconfig -l
Access to perform the operation was denied
C:\Program Files\Veritas\Volmgr\bin>robtest
Must be administrator to run robtest

The IMG folder is continue created by BackupExec.

OpsCenter State deleted or unknown
We have a few entries in OpsCenter "All Jobs" where the State is "deleted" or "unknown". They cannot be found in the NetBackup Master so they must stored somewhere in OpsCenter database. They are quite old & no longer needed. How to remove these entries?
Announcing the availability of Feature Pack 1 (FP1) for Backup Exec 15
Hot on the heels of Backup Exec 15 we are excited to announce the availability of Feature Pack 1 (FP1) for Backup Exec 15. Feature packs build on the core strengths of Backup Exec by addressing the top customer needs for hybrid environments and mark the transition away from major releases into a more continuous delivery model.
SSL issues with backup exec 2014
Does anyone have any insturctions on how to update the ssl certificate in backup exec 2014?
Our scan shows that the symantec key strength is not strong enough. "Replace the current certificate with one using a high-grade public key strength of 2048 bits or higher" and "Reconfigure the affected application to use a high-grade encryption cipher."
Searches in Netbackup
I was familar with NBU version 7.5 and performed searches via command line as follows - this worked perfectly every time.
E:\program files\veritas\netbackup\bin\admincmd>bpflist –client orlhm-drfiler-a –d 04/01/14 –e 07/07/14 –rl 999
–policy orlhm_drfiler_a_mirror_enrollment_documents –pt NDMP | find “0003713971” > c:\student.txt
Now a new job with NBU 7.6.0.4. Converted the search to the correct information at the new job and it would fail. Finally got this command to work:
E:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin>bpflist -client oocsvondmp -d 04/01/2015
-e 06/28/2015 -pt NDMP -rl 999 -option GET_ALL_FILES | find "Personal.pst"> c:\
output5.txt
I have a few questions:
First regarding command line searches. If I add the switch -policy and then the policy name, I get an error 'No entity was found'. I really need to search by policy as searching by our Filer itself simply has way too much to search thru!
Second, is there anyway to use a wildcard in searches? I have tried to use "*.pst" and then ".\.pst" and both of them resulted in no entity was found.
Lastly, we do have ops center analytics and I would like to try to use it for searches. I think I have to setup an index server but have not been able to find documentation as to what is needed or how to go about this.
I've had a case open with Symantec for 2 weeks, on 3rd engineer. And so far all suggestions have not worked.
Could really use someone with experience in searches to provide some insight!
Thanks in advance to all my NBU buddies!
NetBackup Java-console acting weird. Only BAR panel
Hello Experts,
It's a weird situation today as I see that my NBU Java console is coming up with BAR panel only.
It has all been working fine up until yesterday with full access and when I try to login this morning, its coming up with BAR panel only.
I have checked the auth.conf file under ...\Program Files\Veritas\java and permissions are still intact.
Not sure what went wrong. And I do "run as admin" always.
I tried to access JavaGUI both, on my laptop as well as on master server directly. But the issue remains the same.
As of now, I am making use of NetBackup Admin console, but I prefer to use Java Console always.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Export and Import Backup Exec Jobs (from 2014 to 15)
Hello.
I find this way to export jobs and settings:
Get-BEBackupDefinition | Export-BEBackupDefinition > script.ps1
And in this script Powershell ISE marked string 333 as error syntax:
[CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName = 'NoSelectionsParameterSet')] - unexpected tocken '[CmdletBinding in expression or statement.
Why did this happen? This is first question.
And second: to Import i do this:
& '<full_path_and_name_of_exported_settings>.ps1' -AgentServer (Get-BEAgentServer "<server_name>") | save-BEBackupdefinition
What "server_name" should I insert?

clean drive -- the job failed
After a while I've changed the cleaning tape in an autoloader. Be 2014 (on windows 2008 r2) recorgnized the Cleaning tape in the slot.
The error is "clean drive 0002 -- the job failed with the following error: library error - attempt to clean a drive in a library with expired or bad cleaning media."
Also the error in the Job log is "V-79-57344-34028 - A backup storage read/write error has occurred. If the storage is tape based, this is usually caused by dirty read/write heads in the tape drive. Clean the tape drive, and then try the job again. If the problem persists, try a different tape. You may also need to check for problems with cables, termination, or other hardware issues. "
How to say to BE2014 that the cleaning tape cassette is new?
Thank you.

GRt restore for Hyper-v guest with no agent
Hi
We have Backup Exec 2015. we have a license for Hyper-v agent installed on a hyper-v server. we can backup guest servers on this hyper-v host using the GRT option and this grt option is available as a restore option. However we cannot seem to get the restore to succeed. Each time the Backup Exec server fails the job saying that it cannot contact the remote agent. Reading the documentation it implies that we can:
backup guest servers at the GRT level WITHOUT an agent installed
but we need an agent installed on the guest server to successfully run a grt restore - is this correct ?, and why is this ?

Upgrading to BUE 15 from 10d... Catalog files not working
So...
We are upgrading from BUE 10d and attempting to make 15 work.
We have 10d installed on a 2003 server, while 15 is on a 2008. I have already learned the hard way that BUE 15 doesn't really like the old 10d catalog files.
We have also figured out that we need to take steps to upgrade the BUE in steps to make the program run "smoothly".
My question is...
When we upgrade to 12, then to 2010 R3, do we need to inventory and catalog the tapes, or will the catalog files read and transfer nice like?
We got the BUE 15 to find the old catalog files, but they are just folders with nothing in them, as 15 sees it.
If we step up in increments, will our old catalog files be readable without any additional (horribly painful) steps? We have hundreds of tapes, so manually cataloging each isn't something we really want to do... at all...
Thanks,
Justin
