Content Indexing Server: index server is running and netbackup couldnt get 
reliable access to the catalog to back it up.
 
RSM: this is the db that contains the tapes, whats on them and other removable 
media/devices that exist on the system.
 
there should be a file w2k.txt in your netbackup bin dir on windows that will 
have some options for backing up these files seperately if you want to.  also, 
are you doing system state backups?

I'm trouble-shooting a problem where at least one file is not getting backed up 
in the differential incrementals when the SA assures me that it changes daily.

Anyone come across these errors before and know what they mean and how to fix 
the problems? Thanks.

Running NBU 4.5 FP5 on Solaris 8 with WIN2003 media servers.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Outlook .PST datestamp change --> Backup overload


Hello,
Thanks to anyone who responded to my previous question
regarding "Restore: putting required tapes w/o having to
redo the restore".

Now another problem is, again, with .PST files. I noticed that
Microsoft Outlook changes the date stamp of all attached
.PST files upon exiting Outlook. And also, for certain users,
the .PST file date stamp gets changed at a seemingly fixed
frequency even while Outlook is open and no change is done.
For instance, I've got a user where the date stamp gets put
to current date at every 4 hours.

This situation makes nearly all .PST files being backed up
every night, even if there is no change to the
files and backups are incremental. This creates an overload, 
and fills out the tapes 
uselessly and too quickly. On a daily incremental backup,
80% of backup space is occupied
by those .PST files just from 2 Windows servers, and the 
remainder is for our hundred UNIX machines including servers.
We're also running out of time in backup windows because of
that.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
Louis-Luc
