Anyone recommend any tools for analysing/streamlining netbackup? Kinda inherited an old 5.1 server and want to tidy it up. Netbackup knowledge is.... lacking.
Cheers.

What platform are you running Netbackup on, and what platform(s) / apps are you backing up? -
Running NB 5.1 on Windows Server 2000. Backing up Redhat, Debian, Ubuntu, Windows Server 2000 and Server 2003.
Tbh it's all a bit of a cluster ****. What I really want to do (if pos) is demote the 5.1 master server to a media server and introduce a brand new Win 2003 server running NB 6.5 as the master.
But if I cant do that then I was hoping I could get something to analyse the tulip heap currently in place and help me fix the 30-odd failed backups I get told about every morning ;(

Most Netbackup problems are caused by not having correct DNS entries (forwards and reverse).Comment

I work with Netbackup 5.1 on my site. Agree - most issues are either dns not being right or in our case, often client not running / configured properly. It does come down to that. Most my experience is with NB5.1 & Windows, but we use it to back up all unix and windows clients.
pm me if you wantComment

If you can spare the cash and downtime - it'd be well worth the upgrade, and removal/renewal of client agents.
NB is not a simple beast by any means and it may even be worth getting a specialist in for a couple of days to get it green...Comment
