Re: [Veritas-bu] Problems with HOT Catalog backups on NBU 6.0 mp4

Hey Justin..............

We just took over this new environment... So historical data isn't there....

The HOT catalog works.... We have a test environment were we have done catalog recovers...

Just the timing is way off.... This occurs on both tape and disk....

COLD backups are speedy... These usually run at 1hr....

Thanks....

Do you have a tape drive available at the time of the hot catalog backup? I suggest setting VERBOSE = 5 in bp.conf, make the appropriate log directories and see what is happening during the time the catalog backup is scheduled to run. Justin.
