Re: [Veritas-bu] Strange question

Patrick,

Which version of Netbackup are you running? In 6.5.x, there are some conditions in which a SLP process gets status SLP_COMPLETE without all copies being done.

Now infinite retention is standard as long as slp status is not SLP_COMPLETE.

Hi All,

I have a strange question which may be related to my misunderstanding of how SLP works.

I ran the nbstlutil command on a particular client with the following results (many lines)

Image <client_backupid> for Lifcycle SLP is COMPLETE

Copy to Disk is NOT_STARTED

Copy to Tape is NOT_STARTED

What is confusing me is that the image for the specified backupid does not exist anywhere that I can find. Bpimagelist –backupid <client_backupid> show no entity found.

So how can the Lifecycle be complete if there are no images? The actual backup does not exist on disk. The SLP backups to disk then copies to tape, ONLY. Also this particular SLP has a retention level of infinite. L

Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated.
