[Veritas-bu] Prioritizing Restores over Backups in 4.5
2003-09-10 09:19:37
Oh.. I can't hold it in. I'm a fairly new user to Netbackup 4.5FP#, have been
using TSM for a couple years, and I find this troubling. In the TSM world
Restores Always take precedence. If another task is using a drive in TSM, TSM
will make a drive available, then once the restore is complete TSM will know
where it left off on the prior task.
I feel like I've just traded in my Cadillac for a KIA.....
Couldn't you just set your backup policies to a lower priority? There a
priority option....
Regards,
Charles

I am very interested in this as well. We have had a few issues with this
lately. Leaving a few drives "inactive" in case of a potential restore is NOT
an option. Because of lack of slow backup speeds, we operate at 110% during the
backup window. :( We also would like to be able to have restores take priority
(when queued)
Thanks,
Paul

Does anyone know of a way to make restores that are queued, along with
other queued backup, to run next?
We currently have a problem when all of our devices are in use and we kick off
a restore. I know that the restore will get queued up, but I want to make sure
the restore kicks off as soon as a drive is available. I do not want a queued
backup to jump in there and take up the free drive.
Has anyone run into this type of problem?
Thanks,
Kris
