Subject: [Veritas-bu] One class with two full backup schedules within
it.

I have a class with two full backup schedules within it. One schedule is
the
"weekly", and the other the "monthly". There's no problem with the
"weekly"
schedule, as it is defined with a frequency of 1 week and set to only
occur
Thursday mornings between 1am-4am. The issue is with the "monthly"
schedule.
It occurred three times, successfully and within it's defined time
range.
That "monthly" schedule is set with a longer retention time than the
"weekly" schedule, a frequency of 4 weeks, and to only occur Thursday
mornings between 5am-8am (note that this is different from the
"weekly"). 

Any ideas on what might have caused the "monthly" schedule to occur
three
times, and how I can prevent it from happening again???

Additionally, I fear that the "monthly" will also occur again next week
(once or three times I can't say), as the following are my results from
several "bpschedreq -predict" commands:

  C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>bpschedreq -predict

Is there anybody out there that is FULLY administering Veritas Netbackup
who
is not a UNIX administrator nor has the ability to become root or has
the
root password.  If so...how are you able to accomplish this?

Yes. You just need to edit the /usr/openv/java/auth.conf (as root ;-)
appropriately to give a non-root user the ability to do all NBU
functions. For user 'billybo' to have all administrator functions would
have an entry like this:

billybob ADMIN=ALL JBP=ALL

This is for using the Java GUI, jnbSA.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Daily batch of status notifications? NB 3.4

We use a notification setup whereby an email is sent out for each
non-zero
exit status job that completes.  This tends to fill up the inbox.  Is
there
a way to send one email a day with a list of the exit status codes for
the
previous night's backups?  This idea is partly inspired by the option on
this mailing list to get messages in a batch.
 
Thanks!

We do this.  We have to backup on both networks since we have some
legacy
machines not on the backup network.

So we have both a master and a master-b name. (question 1)

On the client side, if you push your client installs from your master,
your
client will get a copy of the master's bp.conf file.  So just make sure
you
have both names listed in your master's bp.conf before you push.  Then
edit
the bp.conf file on the client side to remove the production interface
name
of the master.  Make sure that the client name in the client bp.conf
file is
the backup network name.

We don't use a required interface directive.  But we try to make sure
that
the client bp.conf file has only one network to look at.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Dual homed servers & clients


Hello,

My Master, Media and most clients are dual homed, with a public and a 
backup network. I have a design question.

1. When I install NetBackup 4.5 software on the Master, would I enter 
the host name as Master or Master-b, where the -b is the backup network 
interface name?

2. How about the clients? Would I enter the Master server name as Master

or Master-b when I install the software on clients?

3. Would I still have to use the REQUIRED_INTERFACE parameter on the 
clients even if I enter Master-b?


Thanks very much
Prasad.
