A "Synthetic Full" uses the same amount of space as a real full. You can save
a little bit of space during the week if you use differential incremental
versus cumulative incremental, but that would depend on your change rate. I
personally, would not use synthetic backups in a tape environment. If you do
your incremental backups to disk and only the full's to tape, that would be ok.
If you try and create a synthetic full off of a weeks worth of tapes it will
be cumbersome and slow.
The biggest advantage for us with Synthetic full backups is that our backups
that used to run for 12 hours on our client systems are now off loaded to run
on the media server as the Synthetic is being created.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Trying to implement synthetic backups
Hi all,
We have NetBackup 5.1 running in a Windows 2000/2003 environment. I would
like to implement synthetic backups, but have some conflicting info regarding
them. Will doing synthetic backups actually save tapes, or will it use the
same amount of tape as a standard Full backup? I have two different opinions
being offered to me, and need to sort this out quickly.
As I understood it, a Synthetic would use 1 true FULL backup, and virtually
create new ones based on pointers in the catalog based on the original full,
and subsequent differentials. Now I am being told that the "Synthetic" Full
will use the same number of tapes as a traditional full, just coalesced from
the original full and the differentials. Can someone who has actually
implemented synthetic point me in the right direction??

These are the list files I used last time.
# Veritas NetBackup v4.5FP6
ftp://ftp.veritas.com/pub/products/NB45FP6.list
# Veritas NetBackup v5.1
ftp://ftp.veritas.com/pub/products/NB51.list
# Veritas NetBackup v6.0
ftp://ftp.veritas.com/pub/products/NB_60.list
Then you can just append the filename to the base URL above to download with
wget or your favorite download tool.

Our NBU6 MP3 install is creating many huge logfiles in /usr/openv/logs. I have
checked the vm.conf and bp.conf files, but nothing.I have checked the admin GUI
and logging is set to minimal. Over the weekend it created over 3,500 files, in
excess of 5Mb each. We were doing some troubleshooting recently, and we were
sure we had turned down all logging, but I guess not.
A filename example is 51216-111-175907973-061009-0000000001.log. I would
appreciate any ideas?

Hi David
It's the unified logging. You can minimze the logging either thru the Admin
console (robust logging enable too) or with the command line.
See the troubleshooting guide page 74.

Under 'Host Properties'... 'Master Server"... Logging... in the bottom panel
'Debug Logging' section. I set all to same as global, which is minimal' If I
then exit out of the GUI and restart all NBU processes, it goes back to 4 for
all. Is this getting set elsewhere?

Run the following every hour:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/vxlogmgr --auto --del --quiet
This will take care of them for you.

There is also the vxlogcfg options to set the Debug and Diagnostic Levels,
6 = the highest, 0 = off for the vx* processes.

Make sure you did a prepare to restore, and that the boot server (or
helper) is on the same subnet as the client.
If there is more than one Ignite server on the subnet or if you are using a
boot helper to boot from an Ignite server on a different subnet, specify the
Ignite server to boot from by using the following command (replace x.x.x.x with
the IP address of the Ignite server and y.y with the gateway):
boot lan.x.x.x.x.y.y
