Hello all, I am currently looking deeper into the VM resource limit settings on NBU 7.5 and have a question on the following resource limit:
DataStoreType. The documentation states that the value is "The maximum number of simultaneous backups per datastore type".
It looks like you can only put a number into the value field.
Question is, how can you differentiate between the datastore types ? Because the way it looks now, since you can only set one number, then the setting applies to all datastore types. And if that is the case, why wouldn't one just use the "Datastore" resource limit.
Thanks.

Hi,
Does anyone know what Symantec or Quantum or Sony recommends for the "maximum mounts" setting in the media properties? We are running out of tapes quickly as many are hitting the current 500 max mounts as setup by a previous admin. We are not sure this is correct and are wondering if we are retiring tapes too earfly that could be used again after rewturning from 1 month offsite storage. Hardware info mis below.
NBU version 6.5.4 <----Ya, I know it's EOL
ADIC scalar i6000 w/ 12 Quantum LTO5 drives.

Hello,
We have Exchange 2010 which we are now running 4 databases. My backup is only getting 1 so the others are not purging.
Do i have a setting wrong in the policy or ????
Thanks.
The backup job failed at 95% and therefore the files are not showing on the catalog. I know there are a lot of files and I nned to view and restore some of those files from the tape.
How do I view/list files saved onto specific tape backed up from server A?
If files are on that tape, how do I restore those files back to server A or any other?
Thanks for the help,
Mark
We are running a NBU 7.5.0.6 on a windows 2008 R2 as master server.
Had a huge backup failures with 96, and we found that there we no media in volume pool or in the scratch pool.
I would need a script that send me an e-mail every 24 hours about the available media in all the volume pools and scratch pool.
Do any of you have one? Will Available_Media.cmd under goodies can help me?
The whole idea is to proactively monitor that all volume/scratch pools have "AVAILABLE" media to use to run the backup.
Any reporting OPS center?
Hi to all,
Can any one please give tips for downed Tape drives to bring UP.
Thanks
Hello experts,

Hi
Any help/advice on this issue would be appreciated.
I have managed to successfully back up an Exchange 2010 using GRT however when attempting to restore individual mailboxes or subfolders my restore fails with the error 23 Socket Read failed.
Although I am selecting the DAG within BAR, when the restore initiates a new stream in activity Monitor appears (in addition to the main DAG stream), named EMAILACCESS.[XXX].[XXX]. I suspect the issue is arising from here, possibly to do with the FQDN stored in the Host file, but even though i have tried including the short Domain Name as well as the FQDN I cannot get any further without it failing.
NFS has been configured as has the correct login accounts required for Exchange.
Environment
NB 7.0.1
Master/Media Servers - Windows 2003
Exchange 2010 on Windows 2008 R2
Curious messages are displayed in the Vsphere client console, when a backup succed or failed in the "Task and Event" folder.
===
event.com.symantec.netbackup.backup.success.fullFormat (com.symantec.netbackup.backup.success)
XXX com.symantec.netbackup.backup.success.category not found XXX

NetBackup is 7.5.0.6 and VmWare is 5.1.
Can we have more explicit messages?
Thank You.
Hello all,
One of my customers is going to start using Vault to duplicate images, and they’d like to know if there is a way to generate the pick list for tapes to eject, but not have Vault eject the tapes.
Their library is not large, and right now their process is to open the library, remove all the tapes at once, and then inventory the library. They’d like to have Vault email out a list of media so they can double check what they’ve removed…
The eject step in a profile will generate this report, but will also move tapes to the MAP, which they do not want (they’d have to remove tapes from the MAP ~4 times or so to complete the eject…
is this possible?
I found in the help files that disabling the eject function may cause the report to fail, so I am not sure if disabling eject is the right way to go.
Thanks for your help in advanced.
Hello, I had a problem W/ a Server that I just wanna use it for a POC (prof of concept)
the awkward thing is that my lics has gone but I can't put UP any deamon, even the
Help --> Licence Keys give me a socket error.
I have asked Symantec fot another demo lic, but I'm little bit worried about the environment at all
is that normal NBU 7.5 w/ no lics get this crazy, no deamon are started?
I have absolutly no access to NBU, even the Activity Monitor,
Best Regards
Hi there,
There was a business requirement to have more than 1 backup to of critical server number of times througout the day. Apart from tape backup. I have configured disk based backup as 1 weekly full and 4 differential backups every day all throughout the week. I was just wondering if this is right approach.
To be precise....
in my case I have 2 full backups...one on tape and one on disk STU
Similarly i have 1 diff backup on tape and numerous diff backup directed to used disk STU.
Will the restore work properly if i have restore from either of differential backups.
Would anybody know about it. Please let me know...Many thanks !
Hi Experts,
It is configured to take backup one mailbox DB on passive copy of one of the passive DAG node. (without GRT, normal exchange backup)
I have triggered a full backup and the snaphost has completed but i dont see any byte movement in backup job.
I dont see any errors in detailed status of both parent and child streams. Nothing is showing under kilobytes in activity monitor and the time elapsed for this job is morethan a 30 mniutes.
Please let me know what should be reason ???????
