    SCSI fast locate block puzzlement

    We have a number of STK L700 libraries, hosting various LTO1 and 2 drives (according to location and age of install). These are either SCSI or FC connected, again depending upon age. We use Netbackup 4.5 MP6 currently. We have followed advice and set our netbackup storage units to have a...

    Backup to File capability ??

    The disk storage unit feature seems only to allow you to define a local drive (the browse feature has no 'network' browse capability), and keying in a remote server path using the displayed syntax (server:path) doesn't seem to work...

    VSP seems to be more trouble than value ?

    We have moved from OTM to VSP recently (in fact, we had OTM disabled on servers with large volumes of data as it was too slow and unreliable so Veritas told us a move to VSP would be the way forward). Since deploying VSP, we have had a number of NTFS corruptions reported (could be a...

    hung bpbkar32.exe on windows 2000

    pieheto, does this suggest you run your virus checkers during the backup operation, or would this still apply perhaps if virus checking restarts at the end of a backup window, but bpbkar is still running on some jobs ?

    Netbackup corrupting filestore ??!!

    Since we have applied MP6 to our Netbackup 4.5 Datacentre installation, the backup jobs on the primary file server have failed, and reported that the filestore is corrupt (ntfs error 55 in event logs). Each time, we can fix with chkdsk but whenever netbackup goes near the partition, it happens...

    the drive is not ready or inoperable(277)

    We get this often on LTO drives in our storagetek library; we use the good old reboot fix (library) and it usually fixes it; probably cycling the power on the individual drive would do it...

    drive index vs robotic drive number & SSO

    I have reconfigured my SSO via the GUI, and now the drive index aligns with the robot drive number across the board and makes reading error log entries much easier as suggested earlier -BUT- the drives in my library are split such that only the master sees them all; half are available to one set...

    media list shows 39 phantom entries

    Well, the master compact worked (276 entries) but the process did not, alas, fix my problem ! This activity obviously deals with the volume manager db, but this looks OK if I run a vmquery (i.e I see no sign of any gash entries) and my erros says 'retaining in NETBACKUP database', so is there a...

    media list shows 39 phantom entries

    My volDB file is only 8 kbytes, and when I follow the process you describe it basically tells me there are no entries. A comparision with another similar server (but with no similar problem) on another site reveals a volDB of 1k ? Am I missing something ?!

    media list shows 39 phantom entries

    I don't believe I have a problem connecting to this part of the media db on the media server in question, since the media list report also shows the 'real' media that I would expect to be present, (and that also shows in the corresponding media pools for that server). The crux of the matter is...

    media list shows 39 phantom entries

    I have a problem with media in my environment. I am receiving lots of errors of the form "Media Manager could not deassign media id , retaining it in netbackup database" followed by "Media Manager error 8, invalid media id, host = <srv name>" and the media list report for the affected server...

    drive index vs robotic drive number & SSO

    We run a number of large sites with NB4.5 (MP5) using SSO to control a number of LTO drives in storagetek L700 libraries, and I am trying to understand the relationship bewteen the robot drive number, the drive index and the drive path; I had long assumed that the drive index was the same as the...

    NTBackup and LTO2

    I did some tests with LTO1 on a well spec'd server, and found it could feed the LTO1 drive at the optimum speed, but I have no LTO2 yet to trial - however, I suspect you're right about the performance. Thanks for the reply.

    IBM LTO2 and ntbackup/rsm

    Well, if you must know.... The customer has spent his money on PowerQuest V2I protector to provide server disaster recovery; it is essentially a dataless server that does not need a file based backup; however, the server comes with an LTO drive as standard and so they wanted to use it as an...

    NTBackup and LTO2

    Is it possible to drive an LTO1 or 2 drive on W2K just using ntbackup ? If so, are there any MS drivers yet, or must one use the drive manufacturers drivers ?

    Microsoft Backup

    Assuming you are running the MS driver for the device, and it has been recognised both in device manager and in removable storage management (and that the RSM service is running!), then all you should need is to insert the tape. However, if faced with a wall of silence, use the INVENTORY option...

    IBM LTO2 and ntbackup/rsm

    I know that the obvious answer is &quot;don't do it; use a proper backup tool&quot;, but the question has to be asked anyway ! Can ntbackup and removable storage management on W2K be used with an IBM LTO2 ? I know it is not the optimum combo, but somebody doesn't want to spend £$£$£ on a...

    Upgrade to Brightstor; scarry or smooth ?

    We have 1200+ servers running arcserve6.61 and 7 with various options and agents (all self-contained servers with local tape devices), and are concious that the products go out of support before the current system is made obselete and closed down. So, are we likely to find the upgrade to...

    NTbackup

    I think I have the same problem; even putting aside the apparent fickle behaviour of rsm in recognising a tape, my problem is that when a cli backup is run from an AT job, and includes a /n option to name the tape, the tape does not show with its new name in the restore GUI, and attempst to...

    One Button Disaster Recovery/ IDR &amp; Blue screen of death

    No, I never get to the wizard with the OBDR (but can from CD following the exact same process !) I won't get a chance to try a clean disk or a new version (which was the veritas advice too) until July as I'm off on leave, but I'll give it a go on my return....
