    How can I list ALL copies of a chosen file/folder that i have on tape?

    Hi guys, I'm being asked for the oldest copy that we have of a particular folder, but it's not immediately easy to see how I can find which oldest copy is still on tape. Is there a way of choosing a folder, and listing all copies of it that are still recoverable, and havn't been aged? Sorry...

    What are your thoughts/experiences with NDMP?

    Hi all, I'm curious as to your personal experiences, and general opinion of NDMP with regard to it's performance and reliability etc. I have an NDMP Filer (Netapp) here, connected directly to my MA via fibre and experience all sorts of problems. Backup is about 12TB. Whilst it essentially...

    How do you discover multiple tapes

    This is probably an easy one, but I can't see how to do this. I had a problem over the weekend where 70 tapes were moved to the retired media pool. I need to bring these back into the default scratch pool, so selected all the tapes and deleted all 70 in one hit, so as to rediscover them as...

    How do you decide when a tape is *really* deprecated?

    Hi guys, I don't know about you guys, but fairly regularly, i find tapes ending up in the retired media pool, when i'm fairly confident there is nothing really wrong with them. Reason given is usually excessive read write errors. I've got two libraries, with about 150 LTO4 tapes in each and...

    Backing up Volumes with Millions of files - Suggestions?

The volume is on a Netapp Filer, which backs up via NDMP to a Tape Library with 4 LTO4 tape drives. All other volumes on the NAS backup fine (and...

    Commvault Updates oddity

    I'm noticing a lot of warnings in my event viewer (error code 68:49) for "Total clients selected to update in this attempt [1], skipped [1], will be attempted [0]" If i look at my client list (which i havn't done for a while), i notice that only 5 clients are showing as 'up to date' and the...

    Synthetic Backups

    Is anyone using these? I'm looking into implementing these. From reading the documentation, I'm happy with the concept of how it works, but what isn't clear is how often you should do a *REAL* full backup? In theory you could do sythetic backups forever more and never touch the box with a...

    Data Aging

    Is there any difference between enabling Data Aging and setting it to infinite, and not enabling Data Aging at all?

    Archiving and Stubs

    Is anyone else using the Commvault File Archiver to Archive data to Tape? I am currently in the process of testing and implementing File Archiving for both long term data (7 years) and data with an infinite retention period and experimenting with the associated stub technology although this is...
