Re: [Networker] Netapp NDMP backup setup

Hello,
If your volumes are not large then just avoid qtree backups, if they are 
then you need to maintain & review your savesets, perhaps dumping qtree 
info from the filer then comparing against your configured 
clients\savesets will be needed.
I only do backups on the qtree, but our environment does not have 100's of 
Qtrees.
you may be able to do a perl script to list qtree and compare it against 
configured savesets, i do feel that you are overly complicating your 
environment by designing client for each day, at the most configure two 
clients for each filer and control the backups via central schedule, 
dividing up the qtrees that match with your backup schedule.

Netapp NDMP backup setup






Hey Guys,

 

We have a FAS3040c configure as below.

 

Aggr0

                Vol0

                                Qtree0

                                Qtree1

                                Qtree2

                                ...

                Vol1

                                Qtree0

                                Qtree1

                                ...

...

 

Backups are working just fine, but I would like to set them up in a
safer way. Currently I have a client entry for each day of the week, and
that client has some subset of the qtrees defined in them so they all
don't run fulls on the same day.  I don't do it on the volume level,
because our volumes are very large.

 

I'd like to do something like an All on each one, then skip certain ones
on each client for a given day.  Unfortunately using All resolves to a
list of volumes not qtrees.

 

I'm just wondering if anyone has been able to setup qtree level backups
in a way that prevents data loss, in the event that there is a qtree
added, but mistakenly left off of the backup list.

 

Thanks!


Joel
