Re: [Veritas-bu] how to copy backups from data domain totapew/netbackup

It would have to be a DSU since it is a disk based de-duplication device. Here we use GigE connections to it but Fibre is available (for a price).

In our environment we DO have Vaulting so we regularly vault from the DSU to tape for those items that require offsite storage.

One alternative to that (which we don’t use) is to get a second Data Domain and put it at an offsite location then use Data Domain’s ability to copy images directly to the offsite unit from the onsite unit.

Is the data domain a DSU for netbackup?

When you say you're backing up to it, can you give more details?

You can use the bpduplicate command to copy one backup image to another. The source image can be Data Domain and the target can be tape. If you know scripting it should be fairly easy to create a script that calls this command. Type “man bpduplicate” for more details on the command. Look at the storage unit options for setting source and destination.

Hi,

This is the first time for me using this mailing list. This list was recommended to me by someone and here I am.

Here is my current dilemma:

We went to using a Data Domain device along with NetBackup 6.5 in late December. We do not have the Vault add-on for NetBackup. Currently all of our backups are going to the Data Domain. Our corporate policy requires us to make quarterly full backups to tape. I am trying to figure out how I can copy backups off of the Data Domain to a tape library. I was told that this can be done with the help of some scripts but, I have not been able to find any information on how to do this or where to even begin though my research attemps. I am hoping someone on this mailing list has experience with this process, or is willing to point me in the right direction. Please reply if you can help and many thanks!

B/R,

Tony H.
