[Veritas-bu] NetBackup Administrative Tasks

It’s taking me forever, but I’m still plodding along on developing the outline for my latest book.

I have a question for you about managing a NetBackup system. What are the things you find yourself doing on a regular basis and how do you do them? Let me give you a few examples.

Monitoring backup success/failure.

CLI
NBU GUI
third party product

Rerunning failed backups
Putting tapes in a tape library, making them ready to use
Getting tapes offsite

I send originals and don’t make duplicates
I send duplicates and make them via scripting
I use NBU Vault

Monitoring for capacity/throughput issues
Installing new clients

I’m not taking a survey of the different methods, here. I’m just trying to make sure my list of recurring activities is complete.

Thanks in advance for any help.
