We are using netbackup 7.6.1 on a windows 2008 master server. Backups run fine except on two windows 2012 R2 physical servers. The speed we are getting is about 500 kb/sec.
Any idea what to look for? These are relatively small servers (less than 500 MB).

Hi All,
I have NBU environment with NBU7.1.0.4.
Many of Solaris clients are having ZFS filesystem on solaris.
Many of the ZFS filesystems are getting backed up but some are getting missed.
Anyone faced this issue , please share some solutions.

In our backup environment, we are using AIR to replicate the backup images from primary master server to DR backup master through SLP. i would like to mention that DR master server also backing up few servers of that Location.
Few days back due to some issue, we had to recycle the primary backup master server due to which all replication jobs on primary master server has been cancelled.
Now i got restore request on DR servers that needs to be initiated from DR master server but the sourse server is backing up though primary site. I checked that we have the backup data on primary site but that was not replicated to DR due to master server recycle.
How can i identify the backup images of perticular server which did not replicated to DR on that perticular date on which we recycled the master server and how we can push that backup images to DR master server manually.
Hi Experts,
I used below commands to create "/var/images" on my NBU client and I created three VMs under "/var/images".
/sbin/lvcreate -L1900G -n images vg00
/sbin/mkfs.ext4 /dev/vg00/images
/bin/mkdir /var/images
vi /etc/fstab add below line
/dev/vg00/images /var/images ext4 defaults 1 2
/bin/mount -a
/bin/df -h /var/images
My NBU client is redhatlinux65 server. My NBU master server is also redhatlinux65 server.
While preparing to restore using media boot, an info poped up:
After BMR restore completed, Checking filesystem failed. After reboot, I can't login to my NBU client from my laptop, can only login via iLO.
Via iLO, I checked that /var/images/* is not restored, there is only directory /var exists and there is nothing in it.
Can anyone told me what's wrong? Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I am running Netbackup 7.6.0.1 and I configured MSDP diskpools, all the backups go to disk. Later it is duplicated to tape. But there is my problem. Duplication is very slow and it never ends. Sometimes I have more then 100 jobs in that queue which never seem to go so I just cancel them. Is it not possible to have more then one duplication jobs to the same tapedrive? My library has only one tapedrive. Also I see that the tape gets mounted over 100 times and they are in use for just a month. Is there a way to speed up the duplication process?
I always thought the images in a MSDP-pool are optimized and they should go to tape fast.
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Rob
Hello,
We have a slow backup situation while attempting to backup a drive a VM in a flashbackup policy. The VM drive is 4 TB (1.8 TB used) RDM LUN.The backup is running extremely slow 2-3 MB/Sec having backed up just 220 GB is over 20hrs, at this speed the backup is never going to complete in time. I have adjusted the read buffer ( followed the technote mentioned below) changing it from 32 to 1024 and then 2048 but it has made no difference. Please suggest if there's anything that I can do to improve the speed.

Hi,
I'm not sure what's going on here. We are having the following issue with brand new LTO6 tapes.
A llitle bit of history. We have an infrastructure with LTO5 Tapes and TD5 drives, and two TD6 drives. So, we have just began to use LTO6 tapes. The policy storaged for the policy you can find in the description, was modified to use LTO6 tapes and it works fine. It only takes the LTO6 tapes. Those tapes goes to the TD6 drives as they should, but then, nothing works as expected. There is a robot operation failed, the tape appear as complete and finally, the paths on the drive, goes down.
The behaviour for the LTO5 tapes seems to be fine, so there must be some kind of misconfiguration related with the LTO6 that we are missing.
Here is the log for the operation

A quick overview of my setup. Primaster (main master server ) backing up data to media server. This SLP will then a 'replication" runs to another 5220 (drmaster) . both 5220 are on 7.6.0.3. This drmaster's SLP imports from primaster and then will 'replicate' to the 2nd DR site which is a site out of state we just set up. its windows 2012 r2 server running 7.6.1.1
there are 2 servers in my domain that the images just take forever to send to the windows site. From primaster to the drmaster (5220's) is performed timely, but they are on SAN. once the drmaster sends to the windows DR site, which is over IP.....is where the problem starts.
the confusing thing is that i have other servers images that are larger and complete just fine. of course it took a few hours, but the 2 I am question has been running for days. i had images already loaded (seeding) and have canceled the replication and let another start. But nothing changes.
any ideas on what i can check or do?
Hi
Master server is running on Windows 2008 R2 Standard.
During the installation of NBU on a Linux 6 RedHat server (Media Server), it failed at the end due to Name resolution issue. It asked to run the following command to see if correct information is cached; /bpclntcmd -hn server
When i ran this command, i see that it has cached the wrong IP address, its the one i had before i changed it. So to correct it i am trying to clear the cache by running following command:
/bpclntcmd -clear_host_cache
It still does not do anything, the wrong IP address remains there. Would apprecitate if someone could help me out with this. Thanks in advance.
Hi,
We have a ploblem of IBM Tape drive path ( from netbackup side) go down when 2 policies activated from same NDMP client. We use NetApp filer as NDMP clients and tape drives are directly zoned to NetApp filers and using 3-way NDMP backups. Recently upgraded to Windows 2012 R2 and Netbackup 7.6.0.4.
Any help appreciated.
Because the system time is changed, all the tapes are expired. some tapes are passed through the import command, but the new backup image can not be written to these tapes.
These imported status tapes can only be reused for lable again?
who can help me ?

You want to export files from Client Catalog (NetBackup 7.6 *) to know what you have
For Example :
i was need a Verint Files to know What Days we have a record track ( phone recording )
from the beginning we start back up end record and all the fail we not backed up
the script cod for nbu on master :
bplist -C (Client\Host we backedup ) -t 13 -b -R -l -I -s mm/dd/yyyy -PI "example*.jar*"> c:\nbu.txt
