Hi everyone
A week and a bit, I mentioned that all my tapes had expired through no fault
of my own.
Veritas has not been able to re-produce this and under their guidance,
carried on running as I am, but having to import tapes BACK into Netbackup!
This is not going well! The majority of imports are failing, and I am
becoming increasingly concerned about the entire system, and much more
importantly, the previous backups!
So, thinking about the situation, I wanted to know if this theory is
possible.
I still have a Catalogue Backup on a tape going back to 16th November 2005 -
prior to the problems.
Rather than importing the tapes like I am doing, if I need to do a restore
from a Tape say that was run in September 05, could I revert the system BACK
to how it was prior to the problems I experienced. This Catalogue tape is
currently suspended, and I have told NBU not to use this tape as a Catalogue
Backup (presently using 1 tape and 1 drive).
Once the restore is done, I could use BPRECOVER to revert the system BACK to
how it is now (ie: todays date).
I am sure there is going to be a con here (for example, recovering back to
the 16th will mean the Netbackup Database will now wonder why there are new
tapes in the Robot and probably send them to scratch!!
I really am looking for some alternatives options here and open to some real
help! Veritas have told me its the media thats the problem!
This is not looking good :(
