I am running version 2.0. Server is 2000 SP4 and the backup device is an LT02. Typically the catalog process, on backup exec using an LT01 is a couple of minutes for a 100GB. I have been running Powercontrols for 15 hours and it has managed to catalog 122GB.
We were hoping this would reduce the amount of time to restore, not increase. It could be a configuration issue with the new LT02 we are using, but I have no idea because Ontrack tell me it depends, and will not give any indication whether the time lag might be with the device or the software. I had to build a new device and use our brand new, not yet tested LT02, as they insisted I install the windows drivers over the veritas drivers. Since the backup server is production, I decided it better to try the new hardware on a new server specifically for the task. Since I have invested all this time to try and save time, I don't want to give up on this but I am hesitant to install windows drivers over the veritas on the production server, what do others think? -----Original Message----- From: Woodruff, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2004 4:36 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Powercontrols It depends on db size. It will take quite a while. Are you running 2.0? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Boyd, Nathan Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2004 8:31 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Powercontrols Ontracks support is useless for powercontrols. How long does it take the people using Ontrack to catalog the tapes?

It needs to be in the drive instead of an open slot. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Boyd, Nathan Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2004 1:43 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Powercontrols I need to restore 5 mailboxes over three different periods of time. The Exchange restore server was recently taken away for a different project, so rather than recreating the restore environment I thought it a good time to try Powercontrols. I have used it before and liked it. Ok long introduction over. I have installed Extract Wizard on Backup Exec Server. I have installed Powercontrols on member server. I have placed first tape in Slot 1. Extract Wizard sees the drives but does not see the tape inside. The problem, according to ontrack (powercontrols), is we need the Windows drivers, rather than Veritas Drivers. They are telling me to install the windows drivers, as the product does not use the veritas drivers; I don't need to call Veritas to know this will be bad for our production backups. What do those who use Powercontrol in the same environment do? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
