Is there a way to disable the file list estiimate for file number and
size that happens before a backup begins?  I have a NB 6.0 MP3 media
server with approx  50 million files and 3 TB of disk.  It is taking
over 30 hours to back up the system, part of that 36 hours is file list
building that takes over 11 hours on one of the drives and over 13 hours
on one of the other drives.  This makes daily backups impossible.  If I
can disable the estimates the backups should complete in less than 24
hours.  I don't have a problem if the media server runs 24/7 backing up
files. I just can't see it taking over 24 hours.

Media server is backing up local fiber attached data drives.

The media server is win2k3 server
Netbackup Enterprise server 6.0 MP3
The library is an ADIC Scalar I2000 with 12 LTO2 drives and 700 slots.
Drives and robot are fiber attached to the media server.

Fiber zones are split.  Data Drives use one zone.  Library / Tape drives
use a different zone.

As usual thanks all for the quick responses this is a great group to
belong to. As for the storage unit question it sees all 4 drives. I set
the max jobs from 1 to 99 on the master server this was how it was
before I had problems a week ago some how got reset. I will try this and
see what happens. I will recheck all of my settings one more time.

 

Thanks

Have you set the max jobs to 99 for the master server ? Host properties
of the master :-)

        Have you checked your storage units?  Are both policies set to
write to the same storage unit, and thus to the same drive (assuming
this is how you are configured?)  Are both backups of the same server.
I've had mixed results trying to run multiple policies on the same
server at the same time.  If you fire off policy #2 (the one not running
now) and then Policy #1 does the same issue occur?

        Hello all,

         

        I have a weird one I have two separate policies that start at
the same time with 4 available drives. One starts writing and the other
stays queued.

         

        They are both windows systems running through a windows media
server with a Sun Solaris master. I am running NetBackup 5.1 mp5

         

        TIA

         

        Matt
