Hello Guys,
Hope you all are doing well.
1. I have confusion about the Netbackup catalog, Let's take example, My master server has crash and I have the catalog backup but don't have the DR file. I know we can recvoer the DR file with bpimport command. But how do we know the media if don't have any thing, As we also have to mention media Id also when we run the bpimport command.And e.g we have 500 media's in the library, How do we know the media ID which was actually used to latest catalog backup. Kinldy suggest me on this.
2. My second doubts is also about to the recovery. Do we have any other way to recover in case my Master server OS has been corrupt and I need to bring it up again, As per my thinking, we have to first install the OS on same drive with same windows patch and after that will install the Netbackup application and then will check if backup tape drives are visible at os level and then insert the catalog media and run the bprecover -wizard command and then at last will mentiond Media Id and next next.
Do we have in any other option also for quick recovery in 7.5 apart from the above stps.
2. Can we define one tape drive dedicateupd for any backpolicy in netbackup, Apart from the option, Media server with attach one drive and mention that medie a server to storage unit and same storage unit assign to backup policy.
