    Win2k Server Running SLOOOW! Can't even work on SMode

    Hi, If it's all of a sudden running slow, it could be infected with a virus. I presume you have anti-virus software, how often do you update your definitions? New ones can get through before your definitions are updated. Try using FAQ...

    Problem upgrading from SP5 to SP6a

    The NTSSD.exe I found on www.hp.com using their search facility was for Windows NT3.51. A search on Compaq Server Management did lead me to a download of Proliant Support Pack version 6.30A, so I installed that. Had a look at Q179636, the file it mentions, winhlp32.exe is already in the right...

    Problem upgrading from SP5 to SP6a

    We have a Compaq Proliant 5500 server running Windows NT4 SP5 that I wish to upgrade to SP6a which I have downloaded from www.microsoft.com. The upgrade appears to go fine, but SP6a only seems to see 1 processor, while SP5 recognises that there are 2 processors, i.e. at the blue screen during...

    Connect to a server

    Check in services that all the backup exec services are started. If they are, what version are you running? Do you have more than 1 backup exec server? Smile anyway, Perry.

    Backup Exec CREATES SQL Database?

    Sorry, can't help you there, we don't use NSE. Smile anyway, Perry.

    how to read what in the old tape

    If you load the tape and then do an 'inventory' on it do you get a valid tape label? If you do, and you have already tried catalog on it before, go to the media tab and see if the tape label is listed. If it is, go to 'restore selections' and search through it looking for the tape label. This...

    Backup Exec CREATES SQL Database?

    Surely there is someone there you can ask if they are using SQL? If not, make sure services MSDTC, SQLSERVER and SQLAGENT are all stopped then backup the whole server 2 or 3 times before you remove them. That way you can be sure to be able to return it to how it was. Always better to be safe...

    Norton Antivirus Version 5.

    Hi, As mentioned by others, first check the version number and date are changing when you update the virus definition files. If they are, restart one of your PCs after you've done the update. If you have to click on 'end task' to get it to go down then NAV v5 is probably not able to use those...

    Port Question

    Just a little additional note, I monitor our firewall's alarm log to keep an eye on who's trying to do what. One of, if not THE, most popular ports people try to get in on is 445. Smile anyway, Perry.

    Hospital network security..or lack of.

    'Nice' hackers wouldn't damage a Hospital computer network, 'nasty' hackers wouldn't see any profit in it. I'd think you would be the least likely people to be harmfully hacked. Privacy issues would be another story. I wouldn't expect anything to be necessarily confidential if it's on your...

    Backup Exec error log

    The (presumably) remote server you're trying to back up is not responding at all. Has it ever backed up? Because the most likely cause is that it doesn't have remote agent on it or remote agent is stopped. Alternatively, does your BE server userid have authority to access the server? Smile...

    Veritas spits out tape before completion

    Dats vary in quality, 120m dats are particularly poor. Once a week for 8 months is about 33 to 36 times used, so yes that is ample usage to have dats go bad on you. Before switching to dlt, I had 120m dats that only lasted being written over 3 times, before they needed to be replaced. If you go...

    Tape runs out of space?

    A few possible reasons for this. The 200 Gb with compression is wishful thinking. It's theoretically possible if all your files are ideal, but 150Gb would be a more realistic expectation and data intensive files like .pst files are unlikely to compress at all. On the other hand, if your tapes...

    Moving Backup Exec

    Cataloging takes about the same amount of time as the backup did in the first place. If you have a lot it may be more effort than it's worth. You can always catalog a tape that you need to restore from and then restore from it. Smile anyway, Perry.

    Use Cleaning tape goes one after DLT was used once only and device was

    Run the cleaning dlt through 3 times for a thorough clean. Go to 'properties' for the device, select the 'cleaning' tab and reset the cleaning statistics. Run your backup with a new dlt, then check your cleaning stats for errors, especially if the cleaning light comes on again. It's quite...

    Veritas spits out tape before completion

    Just in case you don't know, running a cleaning dat through a dat unit once does not give it a thorough clean. I believe that 3 times is best for a good clean. Once cleaned, do the reset under cleaning statistics and use a new dat for your backup. After the backup, check the error counts under...

    Directory not found error in Veritas backupexec

    When the backup job was first created, those directories probably existed. If you don't unselect them in the backup job before they are deleted they continue to exist in the jobs selections BUT do not display under the selections tab so that you can't unselect them afterwards. Either create the...

    Backup Exec 8.6 rejects DLT

    You could try doing a quick erase on the tape before you start the backup. Smile anyway, Perry.

    stuck at 99%

    Check your alerts and see if anything is outstanding. Sometimes I find that the display freezes, it sounds like your job has finished but the display hasn't caught up, try pressing F5 to refresh it. Smile anyway, Perry.
