Hello Dean,
=20
Yes, I had this information but I was reluctant to change the
configuration for DR purposes.  I have implemented it though as I have
no alternative.  It tests ok.
=20
Thank you

Sandy

Sandy,

There are instructions in the admin guide, and on the Veritas support
site, on how to do a two phase catalog backup. The first phase is a
"normal" NBU backup of the /images directory, so can span tapes and uses
the normal media pools. The second phase just backs up the master's
images directory, along with the other catalog related files which are
relatively small.=20

Expiring old tapes to reduce the size of the catalog would be possible,
but probably very messy. You need to consider images spanning multiple
tapes. This can get very fiddly when you need to import, particularly if
you've expired one tape, but not the other.=20

Cheers,
Dean

        Hello all,
=09
        NBDC 3.4.6/Solaris instance with NB Database backup issues.  I
am pretty
        much constantly getting 84's.  I know it's an old instance and
before I
        go down the road of modifying the database backups (I have
narrowed it=20
        down to the fact that the databases are too large / cannot span
tape) I
        want to check with you folk.
=09
        Is there any way to determine the specific failure point on the
database
        backup?  Can I remove some older tapes from the database and be
able to=20
        import them again?  If I can reimport, are there any gotchas I
should be
        aware of?
=09
        Thank you
