    Can't search catalog

    We haven't had an occasion to do this since we upgraded from 11.5 to 12.5, but I just tried to search the catalog and it comes up empty (it takes a long time to search, but ultimately returns no files found. I know the catalogs are there because I can drill down to any file that way and restore...

    Move 10d to a different domain

    We just did this two days ago, when changing from NT4 domain to Active Directory. You'll have to simply ensure that the credentials are valid for the new domain. You'll have to change or re-create all of your scheduled jobs.

    Defragging

    Lawnboy, Fat12 is still used on floppies I think. In theory you could use it on a hard drive, but I think you'd be limited to something like 32 meg. Fat16 works up to 512 meg. cdogg, FAT (any flavor) will put the first cluster of a new file in the first available cluster of the disk, without...

    Defragging

    http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/Library/58bb0cab-2cb8-4d1d-97f9-c94e305140891033.mspx "When a file is written to disk, the file system tries to find enough contiguous clusters to hold the file."

    stupid question on fan

    Usually push. Pushed air is denser, and can remove more heat.

    Defragging

    It depends on the file system and how much file manipulations that copy and delete, or change the size of files. Fat and NTFS are completely different. NTFS will 'try' to put a file in a contiguous area on the disk. So for example you have three files: XXyyyZZZ and you take file yyy and edit...

    Keeping your PC clean & strange problem.

    Something that will help. Go to your nearest *.mart and buy some of that filter material intended for home window air conditioners. You'll probably need 3 pieces. Take a needle and some thread and make a 'sock' large enough to fit over the PC. Oyu will have to make slots for things which stick...

    Best config for heavy Excel usage

    Memory is more important than speed to Excel.

    Migrating logs

    Hi We are in the process of replacing all of our servers. All have been replaced except the one housing the Backup Exec program (ver. 10). I would think this would be common, but I cannot find it in the help. How do I migrate the job history logs, catalogs, etc. to a new server?

    Catalogs gone.

    BE 10 We had it set to keep catalogs for 12 months, and catalogs are on a drive with plenty of space. After this latest round of updates, all the catalogs over two months old disappeared. I had done a restore a week or so prior to the updates from April and it done fine. THen this week, a user...

    USB Key default drive mapping

    A partial solution is to power up the PC with the key drive NOT installed, then after you insert it, it used an available drive letter. Something I discovered after installing one of those 8-in-one memory card readers (normally uses 4 drive letters) and having the same problem, is that they...

    Can burn everything except audio CDs - Why?

    Also make sure you have nothing running in the background eating a lot of CPU cycles while burning audio CDs at high speeds.

    Safely remove USB key drive?

    Lots of times I would try to let windows safely remove the device.... ended up having to shut down the computer. Then I found a setting! Right-click your drive, select properties. On the policies tab check "Optimize for quick removal".

    Type of memory needed??

    Are these "multi-player over the internet" games? THe lag could be caused by something outside your control, such as game servers. See if it does the same thing in "single player" mode. Are there other computers on your network at home, could be one of them is using a lot of bandwidth (file...

    Veritas 8.6 29GB not fitting to one 40GB tape

    The question being, is the time taken to compress the data then write the compressed data longer than the time taken to write uncompressed data?

    Veritas 8.6 29GB not fitting to one 40GB tape

    Not a question, but as info. We have a 10 tape library 33/66 tapes) and using hardware compression, and when looking at media properties, I noticed a wide range of compression ratios, depending on what data is on what particular tape. Anywhere from .8 (bigger than original!) to 3.2, with the...

    IPAQ 5550 Cisco LEAP - anyone experienced?

    I have two problems related to this. 1. When I go from the range of one access point to another, it will not pickup the new AP. 2. When set up for work (leap). I cannot connect to home wireless without cold-resetting the device (which loses all the leap settings).

    Opinions on Concept.

    to Zelandakh Just a thought: Are we measuring the same thing? Is your tape running 35 megaBYTES per second, or 35 megaBITS per second?

    Opinions on Concept.

    Probably because I'm backing up remote servers across the lan (100 mbps full duplex but each server has dual nics set up as load balancing team. One server is in another building the two switches connnected by fiber). The servers are also older(>5 yrs), a Dell PE4400, a compaq DL320, and two...

    Opinions on Concept.

    Thanks, Everything is locked up, the server room, as well as fireproof safes in two offsite locations. As to wear, only the ones that are active will be running, and I've replaced a lot more tapes in my life than hard drives. We have redundancy, sort of. In addition to the backup, we are...
