Rebuilding File/Applicaiton Server 2003 – Need Suggestions

Magoo — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 17:29:51 +0000

Hi Guys,

Here’s our situation; our file and application server 2003 is running out of disk space on the C: drive (10 Gig Volume)!

We are using Netbackup software.

Has anybody had to rebuild (Restore) a App/File server with Netbackup and if so what are some of the pitfalls to look out for. Will be attempting this task soon so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, RT

error (25) cannot connect on socket netbackup 6.5

Bkupmatt — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 06:35:18 +0000

Hi

I have a test network consisting of a windows server 2003 Domain Controller, a windows server 2003 with netbackup 6.5, and a Netapps filer, all on the same isolated VLAN. All windows servers are updated with the latest updates.

I am able to add the Filer under NDMP hosts, and the credentials are verified. But I am not able to add it under the client. I get the error 25 cannot connect on socket. I am able to see the drives and shares in the filer when I run Backup and Restore Wizard. But the backup does not run, failing with an error 236.

All services are running, and no firewalls are enabled.

I have tried everything. gone through the troubleshooting guide. Would appreciate any help. I have also installed Backup Exec and the backups run without any problems.

I am trying to use Veritas net backup on my network. Several other engineers are able to use it successfully, and when I try setting it up, I get the errror 37 requested by invalid server. What causes this and how to fix it?

Disk backup solutions

Current Environment -
Main Data center — NBU 6.0 MP 3 running on HP-ux ( Media and master run on the same box )
Tape backups around 8 TB /week

Remote office — NBU 6.0 MP 3 running on redhat Linux ( Media and master run on the same box )
Tape backups around 820GB/week

Remote Office — NBU 6.0 MP 3 running on redhat Linux ( Media and master run on the same box )
Standalone tape drive – 1G/week

We would like to move to disk backups this year — Not exactly sure which way to go ( DSSU or VTL or de-duplication)
Was wondering if I can get any kind of suggestions ? – Also Is it possible to decommission NBU at the 2 remote sites and back them up a main Data center .

Here is the suggestion I got from the Veritas sales person -
Having Pure disk agents at the remote sites and backing those clients from main data center — Not sure how feasible and reliable option is this ? Any comments

Thanks in advance

Large-scale Veritas NetBackup Question

Jstickel — Thu, 21 Oct 2004 16:31:03 +0000

My company is currently merging and we are in need of several NetBackup gurus, as the organizational merger will result in an incrase of 2 Petabytes/month (500 Terabytes/month in Jan. ’04, 1 Petabyte/month as of Apr. ’04). This is a state-of-the art environment supporting 3,000 servers, soon to be upwards of 30,000. We are looking to add 10+ engineers with strict backup focus and about 15% of work will be in redesign. Various locations. Permanent positions. Relocation possible.
