Hello Mark



I have had the same issue, it is probably because of the way 6.5 allocates tape 
drives, where a job get a certain tapes and not just one of free ones. I had a 
case with Symantec where got some settings to nbrb.conf to get it to behave 
like Netbackup of old.

We have just upgraded to 6.5.1 and we're now seeing a large number of 196's 
from backups that sit queued until their windows close.  The only change to our 
environment has been the NBU upgrade, all other hardware etc. is exactly the 
same as it was in 6.0 MP4. We also had an issue this weekend where our hot 
catalog policy stopped running for no apparent reason.  Tech support could only 
suggest deleting the old Catalog policy, restarting the NBU services and then 
re-creating a brand new catalog policy.  This has worked but doesn't explain 
why the catalog would just fail !!



At the moment the most noticeable improvement over 6.0 MP4 seems to be the 
speed that the admin console responds while navigating around it.  Very helpful 
when we have to keep going in and manually kicking off backups of policies that 
didn't start during their allotted window !!

I am in the process of going to 6.5.1 and will be interested in getting some 
good comparison figures, as the hardware is going to remain unchanged.



In my test environment, some LAN based clients have seen a "small" increase in backup 
speed, but that does not interest me as much as the "recovery" speed, which I would see 
as slightly more important.

So you believe the Netbackup software itself was the performance limitation in 
your environment?



Otherwise, I assume you made some significant hardware or process changes as 
part of your upgrade.

        I would have to say that I love 6.5.1. <http://6.5.1./>   I have seen 
client backup speeds increase by 7 times.
