Hi, my project audit 2015 got finding regarding SSLv3 and TLS1.0, Auditor advice to disable both as they are not secure. Understand at the moment any version of the Backup Exec also need SSLv3 and TLS1.0 so we have to seek exception on this. As mentioned by the auditor, SSLv3 and TLS1.0 got vulnerbility and not safe, please consider to remove the support for both protocol.

NBvcPlugin (Thick Client Version)
I do not need a solution (just sharing information)
Just wanted to share as I have some issues during this install where the communication seems to be off and you then cannot search for clients or do restores via the plugin. It seems that the go to answer if you open a case is to completey remove and reinstall the plugin which can be time consuming. I wanted to share that I have had luck with editing a couple files on the plugin server itself to adjust the vCenter server name information or even the master server name as well. You can change it to be the short name or FQDN as needed and this is much quicker than reinstalling from the .ova and so on.
On the plugin server built via the .ova:
/opt/SYMCnbvcPlugin/data/servers > vcenterlist (Change vCenter:servername)
> serverlist (Contains the master server name)
/etc > nbvcplugin.env (Change export SERVER_NAME=servername)
You will also find the port information in these as well.
I have also had luck with adjusting OS related name files by adjusting the files below which include DNS search string information...
/etc/hosts
/etc/hostname (Ensure hostname is accurate as your master server and vCenter servers resolve the same name)
/etc/resolv.conf (Edit search string and DNS servers as needed)
I am no expert, but being able to adjust these settings has allowed me to get the plugin working on 2 different occassions and saved me time where I did not have to completely reinstall over and over.
Also in the interest of making it a bit easier to work on as I do not enjoy working via a VMware console...you can do the following...
On the plugin server:
vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Find
PermitRootLogin
Change no to yes and save
service sshd status - You will see that its not running
service ssh start - This will start the service
You can now SSH into the server and work on it as needed. If you reboot it the SSH service doesn't start so you have to start it again if needed.

I have been asked to restore data from another NBU domain, the data is on one tape. I have successfully completed the Phase 1 import, then started the Phase 2 import but it fails with these messages:

I would like to check if backup job (ms/sap) finished correctly using Windows Event
I need a solution
Good Day all, and Happy New Year!
while a bit tired of eating for the new year's celebration, i was thinking how to improve the overview of a Netbackup solution for my customers.
One of the thing i would check is the completion of all the backup for all the window agents we have, using both MS-WINDOWS backup (full/INC) and SAP/ORACLE ones.
I run a Nagios, which already checks for critical event on every agent, but i would like to add one or more checks for the completion of those backups.
I was not able to find any relevant events after a backup finished successfully or even wrongly.
The alternative way would be to use the linux master server, but for the moment i'm trying to figure out how to do it using window agents.
Someone of you already did something similar?
Could you please inform me if NBU agent write some events (which one for which case) for backup status?
Thank you.
Kind Regards,
Michele

Grandfather-Father-Son Tape Rotation
I need a solution
ever since i've started with backup, i've used this GFS tape rotation scheme (more info on https://www.backupassist.com/education/bsg2.html) but that was during the time when one can say, this backup goes to this physical tape/s.
now with tape libraries and all, one cannot control which tapes will be used for certain backups. only a set of tapes using pools.
so i have implemented the GFS tape rotation by creating a Daily, Weekly, and Monthly pool. so far it works as the backup policies i updated uses the correct pool depending if it's Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
now my question is, how to rotate the tapes? for example, from the Daily pool, this consists of several tapes how would i know which ones was used for Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday?
or should i just leave the Daily pool tapes in the tape library? but what about the weekly pool tapes? do i also leave them in the tape library until they expire and gets reused?
or is my tape rotation outdated and not applicable to today's backup strategy?
EDIT: i will use the "Data Expiration" column to know when to insert back one of the daily tapes. only if there is a notification system from NBU to tell you when life will be a piece of cake.

(Probably silly) question about inserting blank tapes into library and being assigned wrong hcart type
I need a solution
Hi guys,
I'm totally new in the backup to tape world.
I am following a SOP that my predecessor left for the backup system. I loaded new tapes into the library, and my backups are not starting (error 96) because no media is available. After loading the new tapes I run an inventory and then assigned the correct volume pool.
But I can see that the previous backup jobs used hcart tapes, and the ones I loaded are labeled as hcart2 when I go to the robots section and check the list of tapes in the robot.
Could you help? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

Configure media server with two IP addresses?
I need a solution
Hi,
I'm configuring a Windows 2008 R2 media server running NB7.5.0.6 to write to tape from Data Domain storage. It has two network connections to different switches, as each switch can only offer a max throughput of 1gb, so I want to utilise both to maxmimse throughput.
How do I set this up? Do I create a second hostname and then create two connections to data domain using nbdevconfig and tpconfig? For example my if servername is server1 and Data Domain hostname is dd01 my plan so far is:
Configure hostname server1_a with ip 10.0.0.1
Configure hostname server1_b with ip 10.0.0.2
Create nbdevconfig entries on the media server for both hostnames:
nbdevconfig -creatests -stype DataDomain -storage_server dd01 -media_server server1_a
nbdevconfig -creatests -stype DataDomain -storage_server dd01 -media_server server1_b
Then after adding the tape library to Netbackup using the Configure Storage Devices create two storage units for it, one with server1_a as the media server and one with server1_b, e.g SL150_Library_Server1_A and SL150_Library_Server1_B.
Finally configure half of my SLPs for tape writes to use SL150_Library_Server1_A, and the other half to use SL150_Library_Server1_B.
As far as i can see this would work, the only clumsy aspect is that there's no automatic load-balancing, we would have to manually assign the tape library storage units for each SLP so that both are used equally.
Or is there a better way?
Thanks!
