When you use the BAR tool to perform the restore, are you definetely
selecting FlashBackup-Windows as the Policy Type?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU5.1 MP6 anf FlashBackup-windows

Hi,

first I want to apologize for my english, it is far to be perfect.

I work for a new company and I am in charge of Backups.

We have plan to change the backup system (maybe to commvault) in few
weeks but for the moment we used NBU enterpise server 5.1 MP6 on windows
2003 32bits master server.

I am not a specialist of Netbackup so I have started to read a lot of
think on it but today I have an issue with one of our servers.

This server is a windows 2003 64 bits files server with millions of
small files. The backup job don't work anymore. 

When I check in NetBackup Client Job Tracker I see that he read each
files but nevers start the write.

it seems for this type of server (with millions of small files), we need
to use FlashBackup-windows.

I can choose Flashbackup-windows in my policies and the backup is
completed without problem but When I try to restore a file I always have
an status code 5 error. I notice that Advanced Client part of the
porperties is grey so I cannot configure the snapshot part.


 (http://postimage.org/image/1o20ld8n8/)

Here my questions:
     - Advanced client option muist be enabled to use FlashBackup or can
we use it without this option?
     - if advanced option is necessary why we can choose
flashbackup--windows in the policy? is it a bug?
     - when we configure the policy can we backup only some folder or
use only the full drive
     - can we restore only 1 file or only the full drive?
     - can we restore on an alternative path or only on original path?
      - How the client must be configured if we want to have the
possibility to restore on file level?
     - where I can find a totial to configure the job properly ? in the
documentaion i have found, The syntax for selecting a drive on a flash
backup is different like this \\.\D:. but when I use the wizzard I have
the same syntax than MS-Windows-NT policy so I am very confused.


Thanks for your Help.

Christophe
