I should also mention I do a backup once a month directly to the tape drives from a server that I see an average 225G/hr. This particular client is a Apple x-serve.

Its a Dell MD1000 with 15 drives(7200 RPM sata drives) connected via a Perc6 external controller. The drives are configured in three raid 5 sets.

I have a 6TB disk backup that I Aux copy to tape every weekend. My tape library is a TL2000 connected through a 6G sas connection configured with two LTO5 drives. My average tape performance for these Aux copies is 140-150g/hr. I have multiple streams that backup to disk and then spin copies to...

Anyone have an experience with Media Agents in a remote "branch office scenerio" We aquired a location and I am putting a media agent and a library there. Just wondering about configuration.

Unfortunately I do not have enough storage space to attempt to do a full restore in my lab(this is a 1tb backup) only 60G available. My connection to the tape library is SAS 6gbit and I get good read speeds 300G/hr of tape. When I do my lab restores I restore it directly to the Commserve which...

I installed the updates and still no change in the retore times.

I did check my lab and I was missing media agent and other SP's I will give it another try and see if I get any better results.

While I am running Commvault SP5 in my live enviroment I will have to go to the lab and double check the SP level.

I was wondering if when restoring data from LTO3 tape in a LTO 5 drive if restoring small amounts of data(mb) vs large (G) should take any longer. I did some lab testing doing various restores, since we will be migrating from an LTO3 tape library using Commvault8 to a new Library using LTO5...

I had no issues to speak off when I upgraded from version 7.0-8.0. I don't have that that elaborate setup however since I only use the Idata agents for FS. I just upgraded the Commserve and then the Idata Agents.

Does anyone know if the Simpana 8.0 Idata agent for MAc OSX supports server 10.6 & Dedupe?? Looking at new equipment and seeing if anyone has experience using it.

We used this feature and stopped it because of the problems you were describing. We now backup the entire Exchange Database nightly, which in our case is 125G and then backup this file to disk and then to tape using Commvault. seems to work well if you have a lab environment where you can...

Hello I have been testing the Commvault Microsoft Hyper V agent backing up some test Virtual Servers. I am in the planning stages for backing up a server that has multiple VM's and wonder how to do incrementals weekly with fulls on weekends. Will my storage requirements for the incrementals...

Does anyone know what this means?? Failed to read chunk [2051679] in media [G:\] for storage policy [Disk_Library_New] copy [Offsite_Clone]: Backup job [ 127735 ]. Release reservation failed as the specified reservation was not found in the database table.. Seems to be a random error that I...

Hello They were going to try to roll back the Firmware. And the Blue screen error message is a 7B stop error. At this point the failed server role has been moved to other servers so I am mostly on a fact finding mission for the next time we have to do a System State restore.
