ZFS backup -- Legato Networker / Solstice Backup - supported?

Does Legato Networker/Solstice Backup support backing up ZFS file systems?
Has anyone tried backing up mounted ZFS snapshots?

Specifically I am looking at being able to break the pool up in to various daily backups, but I noticed naming a filesystem doesn't back up the filesystems beneath it. (ie, /zpool/home doesn't mean /zpool/home/group2/bob gets backed up)
Is there a good strategy for backing up snapshots instead of the live filesystem?I think your only choices are to either use 'all' and let the client gather all the live filesystems, or name what you want to gather explicitly. There's not really any other choices. (This is a problem for some Networker admins even without having ZFS involved).
One option is to have a script maintain the save set list. At least then you don't have to do it by hand. You could make it smart enough to add in new filesystems, and you could easily have it reference snapshots instead of the live filesystem.

Legato networker incremental backup hangs

Hi All,
I have once a week database level 0 backup and the rest of the days level 1 cumulative backup. Problem I am facing is level 1 backup always hangs, whereas level 0 backup finished in an hour. Here I am posting all possible info I know of to investigate why it hangs.

There is no information after "starting backup" even after 4, 5 hours. The most of the waits are being observed at "SQL*Net message from client". Also, there is no high load, no cpu usage or no disk activity going on. Everything on server appears to be idle. Also, catalog server is Oracle 9i where db server is 10g.
Any idea ? ?

Dear Tycho,
The script executed fine for like more than a year, so that's not the syntax issue. Otherwise, it might have given a syntax error just in the beginning.
The problem has been solved. Issue was the recovery catalog was having entries for many expired backups for more than a year and was never cleaned up. I crosschecked and removed all expired entries and backup now completes faster than even before.
Cheers !

Legato networker license ?!

Legato is successfully using for backup local file system and backup of oracle database at the remote linux server. It is also nessesary to make backup of local oracle database.
license is ok: nsradmin -c "type:NSR license: type: NSR license; name: "NetWorker Module for Oracle, UNIX Client/1"; comment: oracle; enabler code: xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx; host id: xxxxxxxx; expiration date: Authorized - No expiration date; auth code: xxxxxxxx; Problem description: When trying to make backup the database the following error is raised: ORA-19511: Error received from media manager layer, error text: nwora_open_backup: unable to start save session with server orasrv3: The feature "NetWorker Module for Oracle, Windows Client/1" is not properly enabled for client orasrv3. Why it is querying for Windows client license? - Client and server are on the same host(solaris)! Thanks, Roman 

Some times it is as easy as configuring the client (ensuring it is Unix) and having it assigned to the appropriate schedule/pool/etc, some times you will have to specify a specific schedule, client, server in your RMAN create channel env='{..... ]' parameters. It's usually the rman channel parameters. If you can't figure it out have a look at EMC/Legato's website.

ICS 2.x: Instructions for using Solstice/Legato Networker to back up iPlanet Calendar Server

Instructions for using Solstice/Legato Networker to back up iPlanet Calendar
Server

The following discussion expands upon the instructions for using the
Solstice/Legato client software to back up Calendar Server in the iPlanet
Calendar Server: Administration Guide. You can find this documentation at
the following URL: 

http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/calendar/ics21/ag/calagadm.htm#1064539

If the Solstice/Legato Networker is installed under the default directory (as
per the recommended installation procedures), there should be three files
dedicated to Solstice/Legato Networker. 

<OL>
<LI>icsasm
<LI>legbackup.sh
<LI>legrestore.sh
</OL>

To initiate the Networker backup directory image, use the command 

csbackup -l

This command creates a directory named "
backup/" in the bin
directory and corresponds to Step 1
under the procedure for Backing Up Calendar Server Data in the
iPlanet Calendar Server Documentation.

After you have initiated the directory image, you can use the following commands
to back up or restore 1) a Calendar database, 2) a specific user's default
calendar, or 3) a specific calendar. The following commands assume that the Networker
client software is installed under the /usr/bin/nsr
directory and the iCS 2.x server is
installed under the /opt
directory.

1) Calendar Database
? To back up a database: 

/usr/bin/nsr/save -s legato server host/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup
? To restore a database: 

/usr/bin/nsr/recover -a -f -s legato server host
/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup
 

2) User's Default Calendar
? To back up a user's default calendar: 

/usr/bin/nsr/save -s legato server host
/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup/userid
? To restore a user's default calendar: 

/usr/bin/nsr/recover -a -f -s legato server host
/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup/userid 

3) Specific Calendar
? To backup a specific calendar: 

/usr/bin/nsr/save -s legato server host
/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup/userid calid
? To restore a specific calendar: 

/usr/bin/nsr/recover -a -f -s legato server host
/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup/userid calid

You can also use the Networker graphical user interface to schedule backups.
For example, you could set up a client saveset to back up
/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup
periodically.

For more information regarding Solstice/Legato Networker software, please
see the Sun documentation at 

http://www.sun.com/storage/software/backup.html

csbackup/csrestore and the Solstice/Legato Networker functionality?," at

Windows 8.1 System Image Backup - Unable to backup to network share due to unsupported "version of the file format"

I have a Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit system that I am trying to make a system image backup via Windows 8.1's System Image Backup feature.
The backup destination is a network share, but the image creation is failing with the following error:
The version does not support this version of the file format
After some investigation, it appears this is due to the network share (a Netgear BlackArmor NAS 220)not
supporting sparse files. The consensus out on the web seems to be that your smb.conf file on the NAS needs to have strict allocate = yes added, in order to support sparse files. However, as far as I can tell with the BlackArmor NAS
220, there is no way to edit the smb.conf file (and I'm not even 100% positive they're running Samba--but I bet they are).
Some more searching revealed another possible option here:
If you don't need to exclude files from your backup, use the "-allcritical" option in your command line. AS IN:
wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:\backup1\backupdrive1\ -include:c: -user:administrator -password:xxxx -systemState -vssFull -allcritical -quiet
This changes it to Block backup and gets rid of the error.
I'm trying to do a complete backup, so no exclusions are wanted or needed. So, i tried this, and got the exact same error (only this time it was on the command line, rather than a GUI dialog).
Is there any way to do backups to a network share that doesn't support sparse files via Windows 8.1's System Image Backup facility?
Alternatively, is there a way to enable the strict allocate = yes on a BlackArmor NAS 220?

Hi,
When using BackupAssist to perform a backup from a Windows file system to a Linux (ext4 or XFS) file
system, the backup can fail if the following conditions apply.
The backup is running a system protection job to the Linux based NAS.
The Linux NAS has sparse file allocation turned on.
These two contition can cause the problem like yours.
You can refer to the document which also contains an solution for further details.

Is that represent a hardware failure either on the jukebox or the SCSI controller? Or it is indeed a software corruption that can only be solved by reinstallation? But unfortunately I don't have the media on hand.

How to backup a network share using Time Machine

My Mac connects to several network shares on my network.
I'm having Time Machine running backups to a local attached USB disc. Works great.
But I would very much like to backup up the network shares as well - how do I do that using Time Machine?

Apple does not support backing up to a network share. Why? Who knows. but you can find a "hack" here:
http://blog.imulus.com/george/software/using-leopard-time-machine-to-backup-of-a -network/
http://www.flokru.org/2008/02/29/time-machine-backups-on-network-shares-in-leopa rd/

RMAN backup to network share and local at the same time ?

Hi all,
is it possible to force rman to backup database into two different locations ? one location would be network drive, another local directory.
I was trying to do it with this script:
run
allocate channel c1 type disk format '\\10.236.196.247\BACKUP\%U' maxpiecesize 2g;
allocate channel c2 type disk format 'F:\data\flashback\db_recovery_area/%U' MAXPIECESIZE 2g;
backup database;
backup current controlfile;
release channel c1;
release channel c2;
what I get is my backup is split between these two locations... unable to recover database from one of them.

Hi,
You can check the documentation: Multiple Copies of RMAN Backups ;-)
When backing up datafiles, archived redo log files, server parameter files and control files into backup pieces, RMAN can duplex the backup set, producing up to four identical copies of each backup piece in the backup set on different backup destinations with one BACKUP command. (Note that duplexing is not supported for backup operations that produce image copies.)
There are three ways to specify duplexing of backup sets when using the BACKUP command:
Specify a default level of duplexing with CONFIGURE... BACKUP COPIESAll backup commands that back up data into backup sets will be affected if you use this option, unless you specify different duplexing options for a command using SET BACKUP COPIES or provide a COPIES option for the BACKUP command.
Use SET BACKUP COPIES in a RUN block All commands in the RUN block will be affected, overriding any CONFIGURE... BACKUPCOPIES setting, except those where you provide a COPIES option as part of the BACKUP command.
Provide a COPIES option to the BACKUP command For this specific BACKUP command, files will be duplexed to produce the number of copies you specify.
Cheers
Legatti

Error While Using MDT 2013 to Refresh Windows XP to Windows 8.1 during Computer backup to network

Hi,
I am getting below error in Deployment Summary while Computer backup to network during Refresh from XP to 8.1 through MDT 2013.
1. I followed URL-
http://blogs.technet.com/b/mniehaus/archive/2014/01/09/migrating-from-windows-xp-to-windows-8-1-using-mdt-2013.aspx to use USMT for the UserProfile through MDT 2013.
2. For User profile I am using Hardlink USMT through MDT Wizard, that is working fine.

I currently have Solstice Backup v5.0.1, patched with 105658-05 on Solaris 2.6. When I upgrade to Solaris 8 can I reinstall Solstice Backup v5.0.1 or will I have to upgrade it too?
Thanks
D

Minimum release of Solstice Backup for Solaris 8 is 5.5.1. Latest is 6.1.

How to exclude savesets in Solstice backup ??

Hello Everyone,
I have a very large database on 3 filesystems, approx. 120 G and it has been backed up 2 times and doesn't need backup anymore being a static datawarehouse database.
I would really appreciate If someone can help me to exclude it from being backed up.
We are using Solstice backup.
Thanks,
Gtma

Read the man page on nsr, it explains how to create a directive that allows you to specify specific files/filesystems to skip. Here is an example of a .nsr file that would skip all .dbf and .ctl files in the oradata directory:
<< ./oradata >>
+skip: *.dbf *.ctl
This .nsr file would reside in parent directory of oradata.
Hope this helps

Solstice Backup for Intel, Does it Exist?

I have been trying to find the packages SUNWsbu* for Solstice Backup on all the media I have for the Intel platform and can't find it. Does anyone know on what CD-ROM it can be found and the package name, if different from above? Thank you in advance.

I don't know what Sun's storage division are playing at, but you can
purchase the x86 version at store.sun.com->storage->data management
However I note from the product descriptions that this is for Soalris 2.4 and 2.5.1 (both obsolete versions) - I hope someone can tell you if this runs on S8!!!

Time Machine network backup swapped to USB backup

Hi there,
I have a Time Machine Backup drive connected to my Airport Extreme network, which backups both my iMac and Macbook Pro which I love - it is totally no hassle and has been great.
However I have just moved house and will not be able to set up a network again for a few weeks - my question is can I plug my Time Machine drive directly into my MacBook Pro/iMac to back up as normal? I don't want to erase the backups already on the drive, I just want to add to it as it would do automatically on the network. Has anyone had any experience with this - I'm hesitant to try it out incase I lose my backups!
Thanks!

Hi. Don't know if you ever got yours working, but was having the same problem after many successful backups and nothing changed on my system. I shut down my computer and then unplugged the TC for a few minutes. Let it restart. Then restarted my computer and reselected the TC in Preferences>Time Machine>Options and now it's backing up normally. Of course I have no idea if this actually fixed the problem, but it is working.

Hat is this "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to "***Network Name***' The Backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is already in use"

"Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to “***Network Name***’ The Backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use"
What does this mean and how do you fix it?

I got that the file is in use, what is the trick to release the file. This has something to do with X.8, never had this problem befor I uploaded .8
