    Quantum or Spectra Logic?????

    Getting ready to invest in a new Library.. We cant decide between a Quantum i500 and a Spectra Logic T950. We will probably go LTO3. We are pretty much NAS only and I don't think we can pump enough data from our NetApp's to an LTO4. Any one have any thoughts here?

    optimal configuration with NetApp & SAN??

    Hello, I have some questions about a future implementation. We currently back up about 4 tb's a day from a netapp r150 and r200 using NDMP (4 scsi connections per netapp). We also back up about 175 win/unix/linux clients over our network. Our current configuration is fairly stable and I am...

    NDMP Cloning

    Anyone out there doing NDMP cloning? I recently was allowed to buy a large quantity of tapes.. I was thinking of cloning my NDMP backups.. along with normal client based backups and trying to do a consolidated full. I have never done this before.. was wondering if anyone had any success with...

    Index Retention

    Thanks 605 - This makes more sense now.. from a logical standpoint i guess i really dont need any index on tape anyhow since my browse and retention policy are both 10 years. One more question... From a best practices standpoint, what is the preferred time to do keep your browse policy.. I...

    Index Retention

    I thought that it would hold the index data for 10 years.. but the volume that it writes it to is set to expire in 30 days. I thought since the backup has a 10 year retention, then the index would too. mminfo -a -r 'volume(7), location(10), pool(7), %used,space,volretent' |grep -i ndmpfull...

    Index Retention

    Our retention policy has been 1 month for as long as I have been doing backups. We recently were told to do a once a month full and keep it for 10 years. I am not sure if I set this up correctly and am looking for some advice. before I start.. We are networker 7.2.1 on Solaris 8. 90% of...

    NDMP backups hanging

    I would just try mounting some tapes in your NDMP drives.. I would think if you can get your NAS to do this you should be able to perform a backup. 605 - So what you are saying.. is that if I can do an NDMP backup to a drive that is scsi attached to my Legato server? Does this work in the...

    Interrupted system call message in daemon.log

    I am also seeing this message as well: 04/11/06 13:05:19 nsrd: Jukebox 'p7000' failed: write eof: I/O error I see this somewhat frequently, but again, my backups show as completing successfully.

    Interrupted system call message in daemon.log

    The jokebox robot is controlled by the Legato server. There are 13 drives in the library, the first 5 are scsi attached to the legato server.. the next 8 are (scsi)attached to two seperate netapp heads. Could this be a timeout thing?? SOmewhere in the library settings in Legato?? Thanks for...

    Interrupted system call message in daemon.log

    I have been seeing a few errors in my daemon.log. None of the backups have been failing, but the keyword "fail" sets off some alerts. The errors are: 04/04/06 09:00:07 nsrd: SYSTEM error: Interrupted system call 04/04/06 09:00:07 nsrd: Jukebox 'p7000' failed: Interrupted system call 04/04/06...

    LTO-2 Ultrium tape fullness again !!!

    This might be a dumb question, but do you have software compression turned on for that specific client? When I had it turned on it caused lots of issues. btw - I am doing mostly nfs based backups and I probably average about 500 to 600g per 200g lto2 tape. This is mostly oracle data files.

    Netapp NDMP

    I had been using ndmp to back up our filers for the past 2 years before switching to BakBone.. I would back up our nightly.0 backup. I used the following options: nsrndmp_save -T dump HIST=y UPDATE=y DIRECT=y EXTRACT_ACL=y The only problem we have had is that you cannot restore a snapshot...

    Advice on moving Legato server

    I just recently moved my 6.1 server. I downed all the services first, then tarred up the /nsr directory to an NFS mount. The new server took on the same nodename and IP of the old server, so I untarred the /nsr dir, then installed the scsi drivers on the new server. I needed to reinstall my...
