Hi,
Thank you very much for your advice, I have configured the catalogue backup
to be done after the duplication of the images and it seems to be working
well at this time.
Thank you
Andrew Walker

I am not sure if u have catalog backups set up after vaulting.
We have that set up and we noticed that the disk images would be removed
only after the vault finished a calalog backup.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Disk based backups with Netbackup 4.5fp3
Hi,
I am currently investigating the theory of backing up images to disk and
then Vaulting them to tape once the backup has been completed using
Netbackup Vault.
The process that I have been following in my test plan is as follows
1) Manually initiate a backup to disk.
2) Manually initiate the vaulting profile which duplicates the disk image
to tape and then forces expires the disk image in 1 hour.
The first problem that I had was that after the hour the disk image
reflects that it should have expired, but the disk image was still present.
This could be see by the bpimagelist command for the client and a ctime
command against the EXPIRATION field in the client.f file.
I have queried this with Veritas and the answer there is that this would
be a standard process as the image will only clear when a nights schedule
ends, or I can implement a work around solution of a manual process of
creating the CLEAN_IN_BACKGROUND file and running the
bpimage -cleanup -allclients command to delete the expired
images.(TECHNOTE - 236274)
I have tested the scheduling process as specified by Veritas by scheduling
everything but it seems that even though the image is set to expire, the
actual disk image will only clear once the scheduled backups have been run,
which in this case would be the next nights backup schedule.
With the limited resources that I have I can not afford to hold two nights
images on disk.
If there is anyone else who is following the same process, please can you
advise me on the process that you follow to backup the images to disk, vault
them to tape and then clear them in the shortest time possible.
Thank you in advance.
Andrew Walker
