We run with the Vault permanently set to level 5 logging. Info for
failed images is then captured in the sessions directory in the log for
that particular vault stream. You can tell from the activity monitor
which duplicating session failed as it will say something like 10 of 12
images duplicated. You then look in that session log for the specific
problem. e.g.
 
03:19:23 INF - Beginning duplicate on server ccobkp01 of client
ccovcs01.
03:19:25 INF - Beginning duplication on server ccobkp01 of client
ccovcs01, creating copy 2 on destination media id GC9012
03:38:14 INF - host ccobkp01 backupid ccovcs01_1157711364 write failed,
media write error (84).
 
or 
 
05:27:39 INF - Duplicating policy SQLLog schedule SQLLog backup id
ccobwpci01_1157990414 copy 1 created on 09/12/2006 04:00:14 on source
path E:\
05:27:39 INF - Backupid ccobwpci01_1157990414 copy 2 already exists
05:27:39 INF - Duplicate of backup id ccobwpci01_1157990414 failed, the
entity already exists (226).
 
One of the reports generated during the eject phase also lists images
that have not been duplicated.

        Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] How do we duplicate skipped images in
vaulting
        
        
        Yes thats true,
        
        The problem is that I have just enough VTL space to hold data
for 3 days. We engage 8 Gen3 drives 3-3-2 for the vaults {3 at at time}.
We are in the process of changing the polcies to implement daily
vaulting, but would take some time. For now it happens that we are not
able to overlap one of the vaults in the 3 day period. Thus we end up
loosing some images.
        
        How can quickly get a list of skipped images during the vault.
There shd be some way to extract this list from the files in the
"/usr/openv/netbackup/vault/sessions/" directory. I could then probably
manually duplicate them.
        
        Any suggestions are welcome since I have run out of ideas.
