Exclude Files / Folders from Backup

$

I need a solution

I want to exclude files like *.JPG , *.PST from the backup policies.

I am not using a Windows File Server, instead , i am using EMC Storage as CIFS , for a file server.

Hence i cannot see the windows client host properties option.

Backups are taken through NDMP agent.

Is that possible.

Netbackup 7.5.0.6 Clients for AIX & Linux

I need a solution

Hi,

I've upgraded my Master Server from v7.5.0.3 to v7.5.0.6 which is running Solaris. Now i'm backing up Servers of different platforms (Solaris, Linux, AIX and HP-UX). For Solaris servers, i was able to 'FTP' the client software and installed it with no issues. Now i want to upgrade the other servers (Linux & AIX) but there's no install file on the clients folder under those 2 platforms and others, i only have a client for Solaris.

root:/opt/openv/netbackup/client/RS6000/AIX53# ls -l
total 0
root:/opt/openv/netbackup/client/RS6000/AIX53#
 
 
How does the install work?? Does it only install the packages of the Master Server (Solaris)?... becuase i had all the clients in my inatial install folder
 
root:/netbackup/Softwares/NBU_7.5.0.6# ls
NB_7.5.0.6.solaris.tar                VrtsNB_7.5.0.6.preuninstall           VrtsNB_CLT_7.5.0.6.MACINTOSH.tar.gz

VrtsNB_7.5.0.6.preinstall             VrtsNB_CLT_7.5.0.6.Linux.tar.gz       VrtsNB_CLT_7.5.0.6.preinstall

So now, how do i upgrade my other servers? i remember i had the same problem with v7.5, i had to download Netbackup 7.5 CLIENTS separately. If this is still the case, then where do i find them been looking everywhere. 

 

Thanks in advance

I need a solution

Hi guys!

I'm in the process of moving from EMC Networker to Symantec Netbackup. And boy is that a bit of a travel! - A good one though :)

One thing I'm missing is a command that does the following:

  1. Eject all tape drives in a given tape library
  2. Return tapes to their slots

Is this possible, or do I have to fiddle with robtest and the sorts?

Kind regards,

Hi All.

In short whilst monitoring the Master server NIC (through TCP Dump) we are seeing attempted communication to a huge number of virtual machine IP addresses  over port 1556 ad 13724.

14:44:30.526337 IP <<master server >>>.39312 > xxx.xx.250.23.veritas_pbx: S 1942355283:1942355283(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 1566508170 0 ,nop,wscale 7>

14:45:10.550537 IP <<master server >>>..48410 > xxx.xxx.145.13.veritas_pbx: S 3037287126:3037287126(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 15665481940,nop,wscale 7>

I know this is not part of the backup itself as these are being done through the Vstorage API and seperate backup host rater than Netbackup clients. I expected to see comms between the master and Vcenter servers over 443 but nothing between the individual VM's. Because of the work we are currently undertaking I need to explain what this attempted comms is and why its happening.

I hope you can help ?

Regards

Nick

I do not need a solution (just sharing information)

Hi all,

Recently we had a problem like explained in this forum discussion. This topic has been closed but we experienced the exact same "problem" and I followed the TECH130103 to solve this.

I want to know the reason of this event from going from 1% to 30% after running the compact command manually. And also a way how we can modify this ? (if it's possible)

This is Backup Exec but the commands are the same as in NetBackup so maybe someone from here can help me ?


How to identity Status of a backup using Netbackup CLI ?

$

I need a solution

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.

Any help is highly appreciated.

shared memory configuration for netbackup 7.5.0.4

I need a solution

Hi,

Can anyone help me out in configuring the shared memory on solaris 10. Currently, netbackups are happening with 7mb/sec, so i've created SIZE & NUMBER buffer files to speed up the backups.However when the increase the value in SIZE file backups fail with "problems encountered during setup of shared memory (89). Currently no shared memory is configured on the machine.

2) Will there be any performance degradation with these BUFFER values when restoring

Environment.

Netbackup master server : solaris 10

Backup Ver: 7.5.0.4

RAM : 32GB

SWAP: 25GB

NETWORK: 3 NICS with each speed 1GB.So created an aggregate which comes to 3GB speed.

SIZE_DATA_BUFFER: 3670016

NUMBER_DATA_BUFFER: 512

TAPE LIBRARY : DRIVES(2); MPX=1; TAPES =LT05

Nummer of tape drives  * MPX * SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS * NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS = TOTAL AMOUNT OF SHARED MEMORY

2*1*3670016*512 = 3758096384 ( almost 4GB)

I followed the steps to create 8GB shared memory as per KB TECH62633. As i am using solaris 10 i am bit confused with steps 3 & 4 in KB TECH138168

#/usr/sbin/projadd -U root -c "NetBackup resource project" -p 1000 NetBackup
 # /usr/sbin/projmod -a -K 'project.max-msg-ids=(privileged,256,deny)' NetBackup
 # /usr/sbin/projmod -a -K 'project.max-sem-ids=(privileged,1024,deny)' NetBackup
 # /usr/sbin/projmod -a -K 'project.max-shm-ids=(privileged,1024,deny)' NetBackup

Netbackup and deduplication of VM's

I do not need a solution (just sharing information)

I am thinking of moving to Netbackup from a Backup Exec environment and I'm not sure I understand the Deduplication process of VM server in Netbackup.  In BAckup Exec I select the VM server  and I am doing a snapshot backup of the VMDK files.  If I do a full backup of a VM in Netbackup with Client-Side Dedup enabled does it still do a snapshot backup or does it backup each individual file so when it does my next full backup it only backs up the chnages.  Most of these VM's are App servers with a few file servers mixed in.

I need a solution

Hi,

 

I am able to export the client attributes from the Admin Console and populate them into a csv but the way that it populates is not how I need to view the information.

I can Copy & Paste the client info from the Summary of all policies

 

I have ran the bpplclients and get the same info.

 

 

What I would like to populate for Migration and Upgrade purposes is

 

Client Name     Hardware    OS    NBU Version

oracle archive log backups scheduled with netbackup

I need a solution

hi, i have several oracle database instances that need to be backed up.  These are not RAC.  I would like to use netbackup to schedule both hot and archive log backups.  The hot backup seems simple enough using the samples.  I would like to know the proper way to backup archive logs.  On some servers these archive logs need to be backed up every hour.  To make things 'simple' i am thinking about doing hot backups every night then the AL backups throughout the day.  Please share some insight on how to do this the most efficient and effective way. 

thanks!
