Re: [Veritas-bu] Flash backup for mount-points Windows 2003

Chris,

Flashbackup treats the backup as if you are backing up a “raw” device, but the backup itself shows the total number of files being backed up. The only time I have seen the number of files backed up as 1 is when the “raw” device was backed up using a Standard policy and not a flashbackup policy.

Steve,

When you backups are performing is it showing a file count of one or many? I was under the impression the way that flashbackup worked is that it would be a single image of the device that would be backed up, and if the backups competed it would show number of files backed up 1?

Thanks,

Chris Hall

I use NBU5.1MP4 flashbackup for my EMC BCV’s. Granted they are on a Solaris 10 server, but I checked one of the policies and there is an option for flashbackup-windows.

I hope this helps.

All,

Veritas Netbackup 5.1MP6

Master server Solaris 8

T9940B tape drives X 26

ACSLS 7.1

SSO

Windows 2003 media servers X 20

Emc Symetric storage

EMC Clarrion Storage

EMC 9820-E HBA

Cisco 9513 SAN

Quantum DX-100 VTL

According to VERITAS published documentation I am reading. Fash-backups does not support mount-points on version 5.0. Does this also apply for 5.1? I have not found documentation for 5.1 that says the contrary. Is there anyone out there that’s using flash-backup with mount-points with 5.1? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris Hall
