Re: [Veritas-bu] Restoring Shadow Copy Component/System State

This is the correct behaviour. When adding Windows Clients
(which I use), it populates the OS providing that the NetBackup client is loaded
and running on that specific system.
However, even though NetBackup detects the OS, the Backup
Policy must clearly state the correct directive. In which case, a Win2k3 client
will be selected as Windows 2003 and then choose shadow copy
comp.
thats what I do ....
I
just tried it again, maybe we’re adding clients differently but in the GUI, the
OS self-populates when I type in the client name and hit
Enter.

I
don’t think adding a new client is an issue. If I remember correctly, the
default selection is for NetBackup to ask the client what OS is loaded. So
if the lines of communication are open (and they should be) the OS should
self-populate. But you’re right, most of my discrepancies are from years
of upgrades and no one tells the tape dude.

I think you may have that backwards but that's besides
the point.
I actually have a formal change request into Symantec on this
one - the backup admin should not be telling NetBackup what the OS type is when
there's a NetBackup client sitting out there that knows exactly what it
is.
This gets even uglier when you have the client in multiple policies
(common for clusters) and you have to keep them all updated on a regular
basis. And I'm just willing to bet at least a cup of coffee that the vast
majority of backup admins aren't told when an OS is
upgraded.
