Hi all,
This may be far fetched, but, is there a way that netbackup can validate all primary copies (or others) within a given period. So, lets say I backup 1 TB to disk and duplicate to tape. I'd like it so that Netbackup can check to ensure that all images on the tapes are good before I send them offsite.
I've recently run into an issue with this error on a few tapes:
bptm read error on media id A01157, drive index 4, reading header block, More data is available.
I than recalled the offsite copy and checked it into the library. I got the same error on the offsite tape as well. Didn't matter what drive read the tape.
I've seen this on 6 different tapes so far and found that they all belong to a specific policy. This was also around the time I got "Storage Full" errors on our DSU (recently increased the size to compensate).
Anyway, I'll open a support call about these tapes and was wondering if any of you out there regularily validate images and if so, how do you go about doing it.
Thanks in advance.
