Migrating from tape backups to removable storage

January 28, 2013, 12:31 am

Hi

 

We have as of today about 20 clients and we are running Netvault 8.6.1. Our tape library is about to be replaced by removable storage. Today we run DataCopy to archive-tapes that we move out of the building once a month and once every year we store a set of tapes in a bank vault. That works great but since our tape library is an old LTO-3 we are planning to create the same scenario using removable storage instead of tapes.

 

I have some questions regarding this:

 

  • Is it a good idea, do you know of any better way to solve the need for protecting the backups? We do have access to an offsite serverroom.
  • I have found the "Backup Implementation Guide Removable Storage", but ius there any other guides that I might have missed?
  • Can you recommend some hardware for the external drives? It is critical data that we need to store in a safe way.

 

We have volume based licensing so we access to basically all plugins for NetVault.

 

Thanks in advance!

Job E-Mail Notification - Information level

Dear comminity,

 

we are using Job E-Mail Notification in NetVault. Is there a possibility to extend the level of information provided by the E-Mail Notfication Service?

Job completed with warnings isn´t very much. It would be helpful to get information about the warnings in the E-Mail then to need to look inside the Software.

 

Is that possible?

 

Kind regards

I´m using a evauation copy of NVBU vers. 8.61 Build 9 for test purposes against my Vmware Server Esxi 5.10. First I used the Vmware Plug-in vers. V2_1_58 and the filelevel backup of my virtual machine (Win 2003 Sp2) works fine. So I tried to upgrade the Plug-in to the vers. V2_1_80 and the job returns me with completed with warining.

The warning  is 'the system cannot find the path specified'. This path has an very long directory structure more than 186 digits.

With the older version of the Plug-in works with the newer one not.

 

Any idea would be appreciate.

 

Thanks

VMWare Plugin sudden performance degradation

As of Thursday of last week, peak Xfer rates on the backups using VMWare Plugin 2.1.80 have gone from 40Mb per second to 5 Mb per second.

 

I have tried all the things I can thing of, including:

 

-moving VM to another Hypervisor

-uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling VMWare plugin

-recreating job in NV console

-switching target tape drive

-changing target to disk (VTL)

-changing target to disk (SmartDisk)

 

Nothing has changed in my VMWare environment, nor has anything changed in my NetVault Backup setup

 

(I am currently on NV 8.5.2 and VMWare ESXi 4.1.0)

 

Anyone ran into something like this?

It's driving me crazy since it now takes 14 hours to back up a 250Gb server and my nightly backup window is only 12 hours.

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

NetVault VMware Plugin SAN Transport Mode

Hello

 

I try configure NetVault VMware Plugin with SAN Transport Mode (I have SAN iSCSI).

I have few questions:

1. If I am using SAN Transport Mode should I manually mount LUN with virtual machines under "Working Directory" (example: # mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/work_dir ) on NVBU client VMware Plugin machine? If yes how can I mount VMFS under Linux CentOS 5 ?

2. Could I use SAN transport mode only form backup or also to restore virtual machines?

trouble accessing NVGUI

Upon searching the boards I don't know if this is a unique problem. I am new IT admin at a company that has Linux servers with NetVault backup running RH9. I am NOT a linux person and am trying to determine what is going on.

 

When I attempt to access the nvgui on our client machine (a linux running CentOS6), it typically opens the NVBU Console. For some reason, this week it is not doing so. I click on the icon, enter the password for our bakup server, and......... nothing.

 

Again, I am not a linux person and I have not been given any resources as to how this NetVault has been installed or configured. (My predicessor took those secrets with him when he was fired).

 

Is this a NetVault problem or a Linux issue?

 

Thanks in advance for any constructive suggestions.

Hi

 

We have as of today about 20 clients and we are running Netvault 8.6.1. Our tape library is about to be replaced by removable storage. Today we run DataCopy to archive-tapes that we move out of the building once a month and once every year we store a set of tapes in a bank vault. That works great but since our tape library is an old LTO-3 we are planning to create the same scenario using removable storage instead of tapes.

 

I have some questions regarding this:

 

  • Is it a good idea, do you know of any better way to solve the need for protecting the backups? We do have access to an offsite serverroom.
  • I have found the "Backup Implementation Guide Removable Storage", but ius there any other guides that I might have missed?
  • Can you recommend some hardware for the external drives? It is critical data that we need to store in a safe way.

 

We have volume based licensing so we access to basically all plugins for NetVault.

 

Thanks in advance!
