Re: [Veritas-bu] Disk Storage units

I have only use DSU's on 4.5, 5.0, and 5.1, but on those versions, if you get a clean exit on the error, it will clean up after itself.

If the job died because someone killed the daemons, then it could linger.

Use bpimagelist on the image name (first 2 parts with "_" as the separator are the backupid) to see if it is valid.

If the image is not valid, you need to delete the file.

bpverify can be used also, but I have better scripting results with bpimagelist.

Gentleman,

I have a quick question concerning NBU DSU’s.

I do not have much experience with NBU Disk Storage Units. If a single streamed backup of a 100GB’s is running and it fails at around 80GB, for whatever reason, and does not restart because the backup window is out of range, does that 80GB remain on the disk or is it removed once the backup fails?
