As I understand the TechNote, you would only
be affected if you had any EEB's of nbpem applied to your 6.5.2x environment,
as the original version of nbpem in 6.5.2a is unaffected.
The problem only involves backups using the
calendar-based backups. When a backup window opens and the job queues
before midnight, and the job goes active after midnight, the backup would
succeed as expected. The problem is that the next backup may not
run as expected due to the bug. In addition, it does not matter if
the backup is a full backup or an incremental backup.
By using versioninfo, you can verify the
version of nbpem. If the version output list anything other than
just NetBackup 6.5.2 / 6.5.2A or SET1448343 this issue may
be experienced.
Since we have calendar backup policies that
do span midnight, as the TechNote states, I have a support call opened,
however, I am told that there is no EEB currently available to correct
the issue.
Given all the problems with nbpem, I am sure
this involves quite a few shops as most probably have some version of nbpem
other than the original version.

Anyone else seen this?
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/311581.htm
The description is a bit ambiguous so I’m
trying to get clarity:
“A potential for missed backups
without notification has been discovered in NetBackup Server/Enterprise
Server when calendar based schedules have a configured window spanning
midnight and go Active after midnight. This may result in a client
backup not running during the next open window for any calendar
based schedules configured in the same policy. This is independent of the
scheduled backup type being configured as Full or Incremental.”
Does this refer to jobs going active after
midnight or the policy itself being made active after
midnight? I think it’s referring
to when queued jobs go active after midnight but wanted to be sure.
TIA,
-Dave

I believe that it means that
the job goes active after midnight. But you have to have 6.5.2 or better
with an eng binary or 6.5.3 to have the problem.
