Thanks, Bentley45 -- I got the following from a Veritas Tech person attached to Dell Computer Co.:
"As for BE in your SAN, you need a licensed copy of BE/SSO on each server in the SAN that is going to share the tape library.
Ex1: Tape library/drives are connected to a switch- all servers...
Backup Exec 9.1 on Dell Win 2k SAN, with Dell 136T tape libraries fibre-attached. We had some problems at first, but after several swaps of fibre-channel/scsi bridges and cables, backups worked for about 5 months.
We have had lots of problems the last few months, and this past weekend a Dell...
We are considering going to Netbackup on our new five host Dell FC600 SAN with a six drive Dell 136T LTO200/400 library (which I believe is actually a rebranded Scalar 1000). Does anybody have similar hardware? We would like to be able to back up Snapclones to tape on a differential basis...

csplev -- can you run the lotus backup first and then the other server?
cokeandsushi -- if you are not backing up using the lotus notes agent, how can you restore? Do you stop lotus notes before the backup? Otherwise, won't it see the files as in use by Notes and just skip them?
It sounds silly, but make sure that no other box is checked higher up in the sessions tree. I have a server where the topmost backup session always comes up expanded by default, even though I have not clicked on it. You may have accidentally clicked a box in an old session, and it is looking...
THanks, Databasebaba. I cannot run the utilities because I cannot get the database engine started. I copied my existing Database dir to a temp directory, then I copied a new Database dir from a fresh install and it seems to be working ok now. Of course, I have lost all my old data.
Do you...
Can't start the database engine. Keep getting Dr. Watson's in rds.exe. One of my colleagues initialized the astpsdat.db while I was on vacation, due to space needs. Since then, the database is unavailable. I have rebooted the server. I can't run dbcheck.exe or any utility. I would like to...
Cyklops -- I have had this problem, too. What is the significance of files in the temp folder? I don't know if I had any, but I might have. This Arcserve backup db is huge -- 15 gb or so.
Thanks
NT 4.0 Server running Arcserve 2000, sp4 on Arcserve. Runs two huge (350gb each) backup jobs simultaneously to a san attached Dell 136 tape library. Arcserve Database usually gets screwed up so I deleted astpsdat a couple of weeks ago. The backup jobs can run 36 hours sometimes; when I looked...
I have an existing install of Arcserve 2000 backing up a Lotus Notes server. It has the latest patches, and Lotus Notes Agent, and has always been pretty slow, but it has gotten slower even lately.
The latest glitch is that after killing a job while running, I cannot open the Arcserve...
I am using Arcserve 2000 with the Notes Agent and Backup Agent for Open files. Some nights my Notes database backup via the agent will be of 1000 databases/transaction logs and 300 gigabytes. The very next night it was 831 databases/transaction logs and 226 gb. Last night it was 698...
My users say they have not been creating any/many new databases lately, but my Arcserve results for daily backups will vary from 600 databases and transaction logs to 1,000. I am assuming that maybe the number of transaction logs open is what is varying, and that my backups are okay. Is this...
I want the backup job to name the tape when it starts the job, like Arcserve will. Ideally, it should have the Job name and Date, but I'd settle for just the date if that is all there is. I tried using switches in the job description, but nothing worked.
Thanks.
You need to have a file with a .dir extension in the default Notes\data directory pointing to any databases you have that don't reside there. ALso, there are a bunch of Notes service packs you need. Look at q021794, q022616and qo22886 on the ca website.
We had similar problems out of the blue. After 10 hours on the phone with Dell Gold support, they contacted CA and were told to have us apply qo24708.caz. Son of a gun -- it worked. I only applied it to the SAN Primary Server, and it is ok for all the servers in the Primary/Distributed...
