This document discusses potential issues that may occur when using Veritas NetBackup software with Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) and provides solutions. Specifically, it addresses that: 1) Individual files cannot be backed up or restored through NDMP, as the software is designed for backing up entire directory structures. 2) The expiration date cannot be set through the GUI for NDMP backups and must instead be set using the bpexpdate command line tool. 3) Tapes cannot be erased or formatted within the NetBackup software and must be expired using bpexpdate before they can be overwritten.

This appendix describes problems that may occur while you use Veritas NetBackup
software using Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP). Where possible, it also
explains how to resolve these problems.

You cannot back up or restore individual files through NDMP with Veritas NetBackup.
is generated if this is attempted. The software is designed to back
up entire directory structures and is not oriented toward single-file backups and
restores.

The expiration date cannot be set through the graphical user interface (GUI) when
using NDMP to backup a filer. The command bpexpdate located in the
\veritas\volmgr\bin directory can be used instead at the command line. See your
Veritas NetBackup documentation for a complete list of command options and syntax.

Erasing or formatting tapes is not a supported feature of the Veritas NetBackup soft-
ware. Tapes are expired through the command bpexpdate located in the
\veritas\volmgr\bin directory. Once a tape has been expired it can be over written.
See your Veritas NetBackup documentation for a complete list of command options
and syntax.
NOTE: Incompatibilities in tape formats may cause problems. For example, if you
have digital linear tape (DLT) tapes used by a backup application program other than
the one that wrote the tape originally, the tape may provide false error indications. You
might receive no-tape-in-the-drive messages or see an indicator lit on the drive. You
can avoid these false error indications by using a commercial bulk tape degausser to
completely erase your old tapes before using them in your new library.

If a tape has been previously used by either the Veritas NetBackup software or by
another backup application program, during a scan of the 130T Tape Library the tape
status is set to assigned. This will not allow the Veritas NetBackup software to utilize
the tape for future backups. Once the tape has been assigned, it can be expired using
the command bpexpdate located in the \veritas\volmgr\bin directory. See your
Veritas NetBackup documentation for a complete list of command options and
syntax.
