Does NetBackup have a feature that can backup a “deduped” volume in Optimized format.

0

I need a solution

Hello,

Does NetBackup have a feature that can backup a “deduped” volume in Optimized format.

Optimized means that the data has been deduped.

      Start with 15 GB of data.

  1.       Optimize or Dedupe the data; Data is now 10 GB.
  2.       Backup the data, using Netbackup with no special settings; restored data is back to the 15 GB measure. (production data is unaffected.)

Scenario:If this can be backed up in optimized fashion, that is what we would like to do and we need to test a backup and restore. we do not want Netbackup to dedupe production data or necessarily dedupe the actual backups.

Thanks in advance,


BACKUP EXEC 15: RD 1000 Tape Drive Detected as External Removable Storage

0

I need a solution

Hi,

I have 2 Backup Exec Servers. 

Same OS (WIndows Server 2012 Standard)

Same Tape Drive and driver (Dell Powervault RD 1000)

Both OS Detect the Tape drive in device manager

RD1000.JPG

But on the server with BE 15 installed, it is detected as an external storage device and therefore, not detected inside BE.

RD 1000 external.JPG

I have uninstalled/reinstalled the driver and rebooted the server. It is still detected as a removable storage so BE cannot see it.

I know this is leaning towards an issue with the drive. But has anyone else experienced this?

We've tried to restart the target machine which sports the error below; we also tried to stop and start the said writer, still got the same issue:

Full output for "last message being suppressed after 10 occurrences"

I need a solution

We have a huge Windows File Server and we never get a status 0, always status 1 for the backups and thus accelerator never runs to its full potential (always with forced rescan).

To get a list of all the skipped files should help steer us in the direction of how to deal with them. Such as excluding all files that start with ~$  as they are tmp Office files.

But the trylog as well as the media server's bpbrm log gives this entry below:

last message being suppressed after 10 occurrences

Is there any way we can un-suppress the output, so we can get a full list of skipped files? Must bpbrm's verbosity be increased?

Much thanks

Error opening the snapshot disks using given transport mode: Status 23

I need a solution

Hi,

     Bit of a strange one this !

7.6.0.3 HP-UX Master, VMware backups using SAN transport to 5230's as the backup hosts.

All was working ok.

New LUN added, made visible to the appliances, cant back any VM up on new LUN. Get the status 23 error.

My storage guy assures me LUN has same access as all other LUNs so should be ok.

Now a few other previously working backups have started to fail. Ones residing on the old LUNs !

I have enabled vxms logging up to 8 but all I see in the logs is below.

Its says disk open error. I know that, just need to know why !

Any help much appreciated - Darren

Netbackup Reporting option

I need a solution

Hi,

I am looking for the option which will give me media label with the backup status as well.

Like in Status of backup it gives policy name, schedule name, status of backup. So along with this it should give media ID also.

Is this possible in any other tab of reporting ???

Netbackup Master version is 7.6.0.3

I need a solution

Hi, 

I am pretty new to Symantec backup EXEC 2014. 

I have a SQL Server 2005 instance on my PROD server. I have been given a task to migrate databases from that instance to a different box (SQL Server 2008 R2 on Windows 2008 R2). The current instance has over 8 database which backs up  every night.

is there something called .BAK file that it creates while backing up the database? i am tyring to find one but wasnt able to. i was told that it doenst create the .BAK file using Symantec tool.

Now where do i go to find the file thats been backed up and restore it onto the new SQL Server 2008 R2 instance? 

What is the best approach to migrate all databases in single shot from SQL server 2005 to 2008R2

SQL1 is the SQL server 2005 Service pack 2

SQL 2 is the SQL server 2008R2 service pack 1.

I would apprecaiate if you could advice, me how to do upgrade or migration using Symantec backup EXEC 2014.

Hi,

I upgraded from 2014 to 15 and seemed to go well...just an odbc error about the catalogs and I just conducted a catrebuildindex -r to see if that fixes it.  Other than that, can someone explain what the .prev file extension in the catalogs folder is for?  Is it for retention?

B.Exec 2012 clean install...can't run a job

I need a solution

We have B.Exec 2012 installed on our network.

I decided to test SDR, so I installed it on a Windows 2008 R2 stand-alone server  [2012 - Version 14 Rev 1798 (64-bit) ].  My storage device is a USB external. I started a Full backup of the media server. And it wrote about 12 GB to the BEData folder. As it was still a job in process, I was looking at some config settings and the prog file hung. Regrettably, I had to hard boot the server.

Here is my question

I re-run the same job and it stays in queued status. I cancel job.

I delete the job and create a new Full and that job stays in queued status. I cancel job.

I stop/start all services and  job stays in a queued status. I cancel job.

I reboot and create a tiny job to back-up and job stays in queued status.

Any ideas to get past this so I can start testing SDR?

Symantec Backup Exec 15 & Oracle 11G on the same server

0

I need a solution

Hi.

I plan to get one (1) server with 30+ drives to run my Oracle Database & Backup Exec 15 applications.

For sure this is not the best practice but I force to deploy this set-up as of the moment.

Questions:

1. Can I install  Symantec BE 15 & Oracle 11G R2 on the same server? And do backups on my Oracle Database?

2. Will I be able to do backups on my Oracle Database to my Tape Library which directly attached to the sever via SAS?

3. As I understand I will just need the following licenses:

   - 1x Agent for application & database

   - 1x Symantec Backup Exec 15

4. Are there other things I should consider?

Thanks,

Paul

How to set up incremental/differential backups with alternating sets of removable media?

I need a solution

I have some questions about best practices and how incremental backups work with removable media.

So we have a total of four USB HDDs. These are split into two pools, "Drive Pool A" and "Drive Pool B". At the end of each day, one of our employees is responsible for taking home both the disks from one pool. The next day he plugs those disks back in and removes the disks from the other pool and takes those home. 

My question is how should I set this up with differential or incremental backups? 

I can provide more info if required. Thanks.
