Re: [Veritas-bu] Restoring Shadow Copy Component/System State

I don’t think adding a new client is an issue. If I remember
correctly, the default selection is for NetBackup to ask the client what OS is
loaded. So if the lines of communication are open (and they should be) the OS
should self-populate. But you’re right, most of my discrepancies are from
years of upgrades and no one tells the tape dude.

I think you may have that backwards but that's besides the point.
I actually have a formal change request into Symantec on this one - the backup
admin should not be telling NetBackup what the OS type is when there's a
NetBackup client sitting out there that knows exactly what it is.
This gets even uglier when you have the client in multiple policies (common for
clusters) and you have to keep them all updated on a regular basis. And
I'm just willing to bet at least a cup of coffee that the vast majority of
backup admins aren't told when an OS is upgraded.
