RE: Backup of NetApp filer to drive on backup server
With NDMP you're sending commands to the device telling it to back itself up which is why normally it's to a direct attached tape drive or library. You can get it to redirect the backup but that's to another NDMP device so if you had 2 NetApp devices you could have the tape drive only attached to one of them and the one without the drive could send its data to the other for backup using NDMP. It's a bit of a pain needing separate libraries / drives for different devices but at least with direct attached you'll get great throughput. You could make the data on the NetApp available as a CIFS share and map a drive and back it up that way but it'll be much slower.

We also have a NetApp FAS3240. We want to be able to do NDMP backups from the NetApp to the tape drive that is attached to the backup server. Most of the configurations that we've seen show the tape drive being connected to the NetApp either by fiber channel or SCSI, but going through NetApp docs it says that it supports storage system-to-data data-to-tape configuration. Anyone out there using a NetApp and if so, are you backing it up to a tape drive attached to the controller or have you found a way to back it up to a tape drive attached to the backup server? -Paul ~ 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 DISCLAIMER The information contained in this electronic mail may be confidential or legally privileged.

RE: Cloud Based AV
With VIPRE if you don't mind doing a bit of port forwarding you can make port 18082 on your VIPRE server available on the internet and have roaming agents check in over the internet. That way all they need is an internet connection.

RE: Vipre ENT 4.0: And remote Console Connection.
Hi Justin, This is the console trying to connect directly to the SQL database on your Vipre server so check that the connection settings are identical to the settings on the server console (server name, username, etc) and also use SQL authentication. Check that the firewall on the server is allowing the inbound connection - UDP 1434 and also the TCP port you are using - 1433 is the default but this may well be different. You can also look in the ERRORLOG file (often in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\LOG) and see if the connection got as far as SQL and if so, why it failed.

RE: Vipre and DB req's
Hi Joseph, The Windows Internal Database is a customized / modified version of SQL Express 2005 which is the version included with the Vipre installation. So installing Vipre using the Simple mode and letting is install it's own instance of SQL Express 2005 will result in pretty much what you're asking for.

RE: Vipre and deployment
The Uninstallers we create essentially just call the existing AV's built in uninstall process so it should be as effective as uninstalling the other AV through add / remove programs (we grab the uninstall string from the registry and run it) - however that often doesn't work as well as expected. We do add some other code, for example where Symantec is configured to require a password to uninstall it we try to disable that requirement. If you have an existing AV that is centrally managed and the management console has a method to uninstall it centrally which works then I would recommend using that before installing Vipre. This does leave the PC's without AV for a short period of time so it's best to do this when users are out - it requires reboots anyway. After moving to Vipre, if you have something like SMS I would recommend searching for any machines that still have any traces of the old AV's still on them and clean them up manually - we often see old file system drivers still hooked in which can really slow PCs down Regards, Phil Garven - Product Specialist - Sunbelt Exchange Archiver GFI Software, formerly Sunbelt Software www.sunbeltsoftware.comhttp://www.sunbeltsoftware.com Tel: +1 877-757-4094 From: Cameron [mailto:cameron.orl...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, October 29, 2010 2:08 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Vipre and deployment Unless the uninstaller has changed, it didn't work very well for us either with Symantec.

RE: What's your requirement to allow a user DA?
IT people tend to do a lot of testing on their machines which often involves disabling AV. A few years ago I got infected through a zero day bug in Firefox, I visited a well known blog and a cmd prompt flashed up and disappeared very quickly but I knew what had happened. I was using Symantec at the time and Symantec didn't detect the Trojan but it did detect and block the other viruses that the Trojan tried to download. So I was infected with one virus but not all the other viruses - if I had been logged on as a domain admin then that one virus could have infected other machines including servers and if they didn't have AV they would have downloaded and run all the other viruses as well. I've encountered quite a few environments where some old server in a back room somewhere is infected and attacking the rest of the network even though no-one ever logs on to it.
