We have a new server doc ( some SharePoint
thing that when you check a box it sends emails to people)
So when they setup a new server they can
check Netbackup, if they do it sends me and email to add it to backups.
I do that, and verify the next day that it
works. Then I go into the doc and say it was verified, when I do that it then
sends an email to have it added to shavlik.
If they do not do the doc they have to
tell me. If they do not tell me then it is not my fault.

Policy - Responsibility for adding client intoNBU
All
A general chit -chat question really. I discovered a project
where it holds 500mb Data and was NOT backed up !
The only reason this came to light was due to a problem on
the Server, when the NBU Admin realised it had not been backed up (but should
have been).
Looking at the history, it was backed up, but somehow its
been removed from a Policy. Luckily, the fault was rectified and all data was
recovered intact.
Question is this - who is responsible for ensuring any new
Servers get backed up into your Backup Environment? Sometimes I think its easy
to blame the NBU admin, but how do they know what should or should not be
backed up.
Does anyone have any process or routine in place or regular
checks with their System Admins to make sure the backup client lists have not
changed or need new servers backed up?

Simon
