RE: Datadomain / Exagrid - Backup Times over Cat5
Not necessarily, don't mix capacity with speed. A 2 link Port-Channel is still 2 x 1 Gbs link. If the backup is between only 2 IP (not multiplexing backup from multiple sources), the Port-Channel algorithm will still give you only 1 Gbs per IP pairs or port pair, etc. You have to check the load-balancing option of the Port-Channel in your system. There is multiple algorithm available to load-balance in the Port-Channel. You have to chose the correct one for your system. De : Andrew S.

If the change-delta, de-dupe, compression, and other magic happens on the agent side of the backup, you may see significant gains. For example, if you're backing up a bunch of small files, and churn is low, and the backup solution uses the maintain a full mirror of original model, and it only copies the changed files, your nightly backup might only need to ship a tiny amount of data over the wire. Or if they're large files but it has good change-delta handling.

Re: Datadomain / Exagrid - Backup Times over Cat5
We don't use DD or Exagrid but i can give you some numbers on that size. We do a NAS backup not through NDMP. 4.3TB ~5.6 mil files. NAS and backup media server are LACP'ed at 4Gig. We hit at least 2.4Gbps on the media server nightly We dedup at the mediaserver for the NAS A new full takes ~2-3 days using one stream. Multi-streams i could get it under 1 day. Incr takes 9 hours single stream, pretty regular at 140GBs and 1.4 mil files We no longer do real fulls and instead do synthetic with take 16 hours to compile. Our Friday INCR which includes PST files takes 19 hours, ~1.4 mil files but the sized is increase to ~640GBs We have another file server with 12TB and some where close to 20 mil files We multi stream this server with Dedup at the client Incr backups of 1.6 mil files at ~36Gbs takes about 4 hours. A raw full takes almost a week. While backup technology is changing for the most part when an incremental is completed you are still scanning every file to check the modify date or archive bit. I am not sure about DD or Exagrid but for us Netbackup they started tracking file changes to dramatically decrease the full backups. Not that we have the latest version to take advantage of this. If network bandwidth is really a challenge and not file count then look to spreading out your fulls less often. Do a Full backup every 1-2 months, a differential every week and an incremental every day. We do this for our DNA sequencers which spit our 2TBs a patient. We do a twice a year, differential every month and incremental every day.

Re: Google Drive
I use Google Drive all the time, at least the online version. I have been trying a lot of different syncing solutions as of late, as I also have been using Dropbox and Cubby. I have the desktop client on my home PC, but it has not given me any problems. It behaves a lot better than Dropbox for me, as Dropbox likes to index every time I am forced to reboot, which seems to take an unusually long time. The client at home I use to drop in PDFs of important mailers I get (Scan to FTP, copy to Google Drive) so that I have is wherever I need them. Otherwise, it's a simple web-based word processor/spreadsheet/drawing tool that works anywhere I go. How are you trying to sync your Firefox bookmarks with Google drive? Are you using the Portable Apps version of Firefox, and seeing the problems when you are mixing the two together? (Very cool idea, BTW.

Re: Google Drive
Yes, you've got the idea, my portable apps (including Firefox) are installed into my Google Drive folder. The idea is, get a new machine, install Google Drive, create a shortcut and I have all my apps. I try not to use them simultaneously on different machines and I have to pause the Google sync when I run FF portable, but it mostly worked OK until I lost the bookmarks that were sync-ed thru Firefox. I can only assume there was some sort of conflict. The issue with the reappearing Trash in the online version also spooks me, as its often the web version that causes the conflicts.

Re: Google Drive
Yes, you've got the idea, my portable apps (including Firefox) are installed into my Google Drive folder. The idea is, get a new machine, install Google Drive, create a shortcut and I have all my apps. I like the idea... but I don't. There are a lot of PortlableApps that don't work well unless they can see an acutal drive letter, and most of them like to be in the root of the drive (i.e.: x:\PortableApps) Here's an idea: Make robocopy script that does that sync. Use Google Drive as a backup (or Dropbox, or whatever) and viola. I try not to use them simultaneously on different machines and I have to pause the Google sync when I run FF portable, but it mostly worked OK until I lost the bookmarks that were sync-ed thru Firefox. I can only assume there was some sort of conflict. Pausing the sync? Sounds like that might be the reason you're getting issues. The issue with the reappearing Trash in the online version also spooks me, as its often the web version that causes the conflicts.

Re: Google Drive
Maybe I should have mentioned I'm using the PortableApps.com AppLauncher from within Google Drive. This seems to keep all the apps working quite well - except FF. They even update themselves, which is well cool. The reason the sync has to be paused while using FF is because Google Drive seems to bork after a load of retries with locked files. All the other apps work fine - but to be honest, none of them are particularly complex. I was just wondering if anyone else had had any success with similar setups but maybe using different providers? It seemed like a nice way to decouple my apps from the OS without the infrastructure and management overhead of stuff like Citrix, App-V, and the like, but for anything particularly complicated such as a browser with sync capability, it doesn't seem to be a reliable fit. Unless it's the interplay between FF's built-in synchronization and the app synchronization that is giving me problems? I may try turning off the native FF bookmark sync and see how it goes.

Re: Datadomain / Exagrid - Backup Times over Cat5
If all of your backups are from Box A to Box B, then both will need to be trunked for there to be any benefits in throughput. However, if there are multiple concurrent backups at play from multiple sources, then trunking on the backup device will still provide for more throughput than a single network connection. Of course, as Kevin points out, there are several other factors to consider in a backup scenario. *ASB **http://XeeMe.com/AndrewBaker* http://xeeme.com/AndrewBaker* **Providing Virtual CIO Services (IT Operations Information Security) for the SMB market…*** On Wed, Apr 10, 2013 at 10:58 AM, Bourque Daniel daniel.bour...@loto-quebec.com wrote: ** Not necessarily, don't mix capacity with speed. A 2 link Port-Channel is still 2 x 1 Gbs link.

The thing that doesn't make sense to me is the backups are going across Cat5. It seems like they would be really slow for a full backup. That depends how fast the network you're running is, and how much data you've got to worry about, and maybe other things. Gigabit Ethernet can stream 125,000,000 8-bit quantities per second. Framing and protocol overhead rob significantly from that. Let's assume 75% efficiency, just to have a number. That's 93 megabytes per second, or 337 gigabytes in one hour. If you're only backing up a terabyte, that might be just fine.

Push msi install package
Hi Folks, We use Ricoh printers/copiers here. They provide an agent that can be installed onto desktops so we can manage print configuration, setup, and reporting. The agent is signed with a valid public certificate. The problem I am having is that the push installation (via System Center Essentails) fails, I think because users always receive the Open File Security Warning popup if this is run manually, but I try to surpress that with the /quiet switch, and it fails. I can disable that via GPO, but I do not wish to do that. Do I need to go back to the vendor and have them recompile as an EXE instead? Suggestions appreciated. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin

Any swith I use (/qb, /passive, etc) works fine after the user accepts the warning dialog. It's the dialog that I think is making the managed installation fail.

RE: Push msi install package
Another option to try is to add the server path to the Local Intranet zone - this has helped me get around these security prompts. -Aakash Shah From: Tom Miller [mailto:tominyorkt...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 12:53 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Push msi install package Any swith I use (/qb, /passive, etc) works fine after the user accepts the warning dialog. It's the dialog that I think is making the managed installation fail.
