    Hardware or Software Compression?

    I have read from several professional sources that typically, hardware compression will yield better results versus software compression. I'm talking DLT IV using Arcserve 9 now. Well, i had been having issues with hardware compression whereby 80GB tapes would max out just below 60GB. I realize...

    Arcserve Email Alerts fails after upgrade to Ver.11

    my 2 cents on this topic: Since version 6.x, Arcserve Alerts have been a pain to manage. It took me a long while to get it to work on Lotus Notes. I finally had to install a Notes client on the server to get it ti work. When, I finally got SMTP alerts working, I never looked back. Seems...

    Backup Source Priority - how do I set this up? BABv9

    I have used that method, and it didnot work. Arcserve prefers alphabetical order, instead of priority. I noticed when I set HIGH priority on the Client Agent for our MAIL server, it did get backed up first, however. Still don't understand this... Carpe diem, procrastination is the thief of...

    Backup Job cancels mysteriously - out of space?

    DM, I use hardware compression. Would it matter at all if I used Arcserve's software compression? Carpe diem, procrastination is the thief of time...

    Help Desk Software

    Trackit 6 has been upgraded to 6.5. Some minor improvements is the inclusion of Audit Plus and the death of Access as the db (non-Ent. versions). I have used TI6.x for over a year and it has not been an easy conquest. Auditing is ok, but got hung up on hyperthreading enabled pcs. Reports are...

    Track-It

    6.5 just came out. Find out if you qualify for the "free" upgrade. I had 6.0 Standard and they upgraded me to 6.5 Pro, which includes MSDE, Audit Plus and Monitor (email Alerts). I cannot get SMTP messaging to work via Lotus Notes. I, too, wish there was a TI forum out there. Seems like a...

    Brightstor 11 - any good reasons to upgrade?

    DavidMichel, you mentioned an improvement in the Exchange agent. We are a Notes shop, is the assumption correct that the Notes agent is improved as well?? Carpe diem, procrastination is the thief of time...

    Backup Job cancels mysteriously - out of space?

    Actually, the final session begins and then asks to load the next tape (Sequence 2). Again, I don't know why as there is plenty of room left for these final sessions. The last server being backed up is not a database server specifically. There is an MSDE databse on here but it is not large at...

    Backup Job cancels mysteriously - out of space?

    I have a backup job that ends/cancels itself at about 62GB of data. I'm using 80GB compressed DLT for media. Also, that last session that gets cut off by the job is only 10GB, so the total size of the job is 72GB, still plenty of room left on the media. I have other jobs that run over 70gb with...

    Backup Source Priority - how do I set this up? BABv9

    I will try setting this up at the "service side", but can I assume you mean from the Client Agent GUI on each server? Is that correct? Carpe diem, procrastination is the thief of time...

    DBfix and DBcheck in ARCserve 11?

    While on the topic, does anyone have a list of names of the DBs in BABv9. I am running into the same issue using my old Arcerve 2000 database maintenence scripts. Thanks... Carpe diem, procrastination is the thief of time...

    Backup Source Priority - how do I set this up? BABv9

    I tried using Source Priority with Arcserve 2000 and was never able to get it to ACTUALLY work. Now I have BAB v9 installed and I would like to try to utilize Source Priority for all jobs. What do I need to do? Do I need to enable anthing on the Client Agent side? My assumption was that since...

    Brightstor 11 - any good reasons to upgrade?

    I have been using Arcserve 9 for a little over a year. The upgrade from Arcserve 2000 to BAB v9 was a great improvement, especially with the Raima database and overall backup speeds. I don't like to messing with something that is not broken. So I'm looking for feedback on v11, since I qualify...

    Laptop users, Admin rights or not?

    Thank you for all your feedback. I think Power Users is the best setting for road warriors, as it does not completely stifle their abilities to do what they need. Thanks to all who responded!!! Carpe diem, procrastination is the thief of time...

    Laptop users, Admin rights or not?

    Our laptop users had been given Admin rights locally due to some legacy apps that did not behave for "regular" users. Presently, we no longer run these apps, but we'd like to allow user to install AV updates when they are on the road. However, we'd rather they not have local admin rights. All...

    OU's - Rename or create new?

    I had this happen with a GPO that I renamed, which is why I'm gun-shy now. I don't know why or how it happened, but I renamed a GPO and things went askew. I could not confirm it, but reading various newsgroups and message boards, I dsicovered that GUID corruption CAN happen, so this is what I...

    OU's - Rename or create new?

    Do you know this from experience?? My concern is GUID corruption. I may be overly cautious. I just want to be 100% sure a rename won't screw things up, especially since I am setting permissions via GPOs. Anyone? Bueller? Carpe diem, procrastination is the thief of time...
