All these suggestions assume that whatever original media server backed
up the files is still available (the bpmedia -movedb & FORCE_RESTORE...)
choices.
If the media server was destroyed and the media database on it was
destroyed with it (without transferring it first to another live media
server) then these are not going to work.
You might be able to use "bpmedialist -h <old_media_server>" to see if
any tapes were still assigned to the media server pre-destruction. If
they were, you might then be able to import these media on a different
media server to recreate the info.
Losing faith in Netbackup as a product is understandable in times of
stress, but there is a process to destroying a media server and
preserving its data. Maybe v6.0 will change all this since the
databases are becoming centralized.

Simon,
What you need to do is the following:
1. Bring down Netbackup Daemons
2. cd /usr/openv/netbackup
3. vi bp.conf
4. add the folowing line:
FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER = old_media_server current_media
server
None:"Please replace the media server with your media server
names"
5. Save
6. Bring up the Daemons
7. Start restore again
Thanks,

:-((((((((((((((
Guys
I just CANNOT believe how unlucky this site is!!!
I attempted a restore from one of my Servers IP Addresses, that was
being
BACKED UP by the OLD Media Server that was destroyed.
Backup, Archive, Restore tool can SEE the Data, and I have specified the
source and destination client as being different (Destination now being
SERVER001) however when performing the restore it shows the following in
activity monitor....
Activity Monitor shows....
08/06/2006 06:43:48 - begin Restore
08/06/2006 06:43:51 - 1 images required
08/06/2006 06:43:51 - media 0234L3 required
08/06/2006 06:43:51 - media 0236L3 required
08/06/2006 06:44:26 - restored image 194.35.68.208_1148074371 - (cannot
connect to server backup restore manager(205))
08/06/2006 06:44:26 - end Restore; elapsed time: 00:00:38
the restore failed to recover the requested files(5)
I came in early to do this, as I feared something like this may happen
when
I was in bed last night!!
Im starting to lose faith in not only Veritas, but also the people
surrounding me!
Any help or quick answers would be appreciated.

Ive tried that, and that failed, HOWEVER thanks to Martin and a change
in
the DB ownership of the tapes I may have just cracked it, but running a
consistency check on the DB at the moment!
So will let you know later!
Thanks everyone

Most of those in the listed, its in the manual what it not documented
that
well is ...........
On you desktop go to C:\Program Files\Veritas\java or where the
desktop
client is installed in there lives files with names of the format
hostname.vrtsnbuj
Change the line SET NBJAVA_CONNECT_OPTION= to have the value 1 the
default
is zero it should look like this
SET NBJAVA_CONNECT_OPTION=1
Do this to all files hostname.vrtsnbuj
Test impact on conectivity to other master servers - there should be
none.
Netbackup appears to grab any of these files irrespective of which host
its
connected to. If you have a specific match to the master you are
connecting
and set it as above. It may not work cause its a different .vrtsnbuj
........very dodgy....another example of rainforest software.

We use disk staging in NBU 5.0 MP5. Our backups to disk were greatly
delayed last night and are now contending with the disk to tape jobs.
We've manually killed all duplication jobs, but new ones keep starting
based on the schedule we set. Does anyone know of a way besides
stopping bprd to stop only the Duplication jobs from starting? Thanks!
