How to identity Status of a backup using Netbackup CLI ?
I launch 'bpbackup' command in my program and it just gives the return code. There is no way to know the corresponding JobId. Before I launch the next backup, I want to check the status of the Previous backup and make some decision. 'bpimagelist' command can be used with 'keyword' as filter so that I can search my backup job uniquely. Problem is, it only lists the Successful backups. 'bpdbjobs' command can be used to list out all jobs (successful, failed, in progress) but there is no way to uniquely find the backup job because it does not support filtering the result with 'keyword' attribute. Also Want to filter the status of individual client what I still not able to get using bpdbjobs. Any help is highly appreciated.

We are running RMAN backups to MSDP. The fulls and archive backups are very fast and dedupicate pretty well using filesperset 1. When the incremental backups run, it can take as much as 9 minutes to back up a 288k file, which makes no sense. It looks like bptm is waiting on something, but I cannot understand what it could be. Oracle is 10G, changed block tracking is enabled. The DBAs set filesperst to a higher number, and its faster, but it hardly deduplicates, so that's not gong to work. Anyone else see anything like this? I don't think its due to deduplication - it seems to be something on the oracle side. All the other jobs that run against the MSDP run very well. The behavior is the same using client side dedupe and server side dedupe. Master and Media are on 7.5.0.4 Oracle boxes are on 7.1.0.4 due to an old kernel they run.841Views0likes4CommentsHow to Merge Archive PST Files in Outlook 2013?

I have 3 very big fileserver, more than one billions of files. Presently we using the MS-Windows policies to backup'em. I was reading that I could use the FLASHBACK policie (block level) for that kind of file server. So if i'm using this kind of policie, should I use the FLASHBACK or the FLASHBACK-WINDOWS policie if my server is a windows 2008? I dont fully understand the difference between MS-Windows, Flashbackup, Flashbackup-Windows. We using flashbackup-windows to backup our VM on ESX server. thanksSolved2.1KViews0likes4CommentsAbnormal growth of the catalog file system after upgrade
Hi Friends, I have recently upgraded my netbackup environment from Netbackup 6.5 to netbackup 7.5.0.4, after that I could see that my catalog file system increases 10GB by every week. Catalog compression already in place but not helping much. Any one is facing this issue after the upgrade? Any idea why this is happening?

I found this request "SELECT DiskPerTapeReadBytesPerSec, DiskPerTapeWriteBytesPerSec, Frequency_PerfTime, Name, Timestamp_PerfTime FROM Win32_PerfRawData_TapePerf_NetBackupDiskPerTape"on one of the old forums, but as far as I understand it does not work at this time. Having looked through all the documentation I did not find at the remembrance of this I would like to understand how you get data about tape lib for example for veritas NetBacup OpsCenter. Whether is possible to get this information from command line? Thanks =)2.8KViews0likes12CommentsSLP Images Removel
Hello Team Let me explain the scenario NB version = 7.6.0.1 OS = Redhat Linux 2.6 We have RMAN backups which were previously backed up using SLP ( 1 Month Onsite + 1 Month Offsite ). in mid March 2014 Some once changes SLP retention (2 Month Onsite + 2 Month Offsite ). Which was wrong .. And we have changed it back on 19th May 2014 So in normal case, if backup would have beentaken on 1st April 2014 then it should be in our Netbackup environment till 1 June ... this is what we want. but currently Huge No. of Duplication jobs running in our NB .. when I checked some of the Duplication jobs, it showes Backup image dates of March & April 2014. which is needless. In simple terms I don't want to run duplication jobs for those images whose Retention period is ( 2 month Onsite + 2 Month Offsite ). These backup images are taken in between 15th March ( when retention level changed ) till 20th May ( when we reverted back those changes ) No matter those images are in ACTIVE, PENDING or IN PROGRESS status .. I don't want to run Duplication jobs for above mentioned period backup images. SLP name = lou_rman_slp \ sim_rman_slp please help me with ./nbstutil command syntax to achieve thisSolved3KViews1like5Comments- 4.4KViews1like5Comments

The file list of my policy is: NEW_STREAM /a NEW_STREAM /b When I make backup all is correct, 2 jobs appears, one in drive 1 and the other in drive 2, making backup in parallel.

But until the first one no finish the second one don`t start. it is possible to make a multi streaming restore? How? Thank you very much for your help.Solved2.6KViews0likes4CommentsNetApp NFS and CIFS backup
Hi A quick overview on how we take NetApp backups, and why we ended up doing this way. Initially our plan was to take backup of NetApp directly to Tape by utilizing the NetApp plugin and Replication Director. Backup was very slow so we ended up with a staging disk to speed up backups. The negative side of this is that Replication Director utilize SLP to operate, and SLP does not support a staging disk so we ended up excluding the Replication Director. Later on we moved the backups to a MSDP pool. and the way we take backup of CIFS share todayis by mounting the CIFS share to a Windows client, and setting upWindows\File policies on Master Server using the UNC path as selection to take backup of theese CIFS share. Our Linux team has raised a concern that this method would require alot of time and manual steps in order to achieve similar for NFS shares mounted on a Linux server. My question is as simple as follows: Is there a way to take backup of NetApp volumes, without involving a client which have CIFS or NFS shares mounted?Would i be able to achieve this by implementing the Replication Director? My understanding is that NMDP is a way around that, but the problem is that it is very slow, and accelerator is only available on 7.7 version of Netbackup. Is there any other way?Solved3KViews0likes5Comments
