This is a lost cause so save yourself some work. There is no guarantee that the last stream won't complete before an earlier stream and unless you disallow retries completely, the task gets harder and harders. What are you going to do if stream 1 starts, gets partially done, has a tape error, and retries? What are you going to do if the last stream finishes early? What are you going to do if the last stream dies completely and can't finish? The problem is much harder than it looks... .../Ed -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

In order to get multiple data streams working, you'd have to walk the file system. The reason FlashBackup goes as fast as it does because it does not walk the file system. You wouldn't get better performance by using more streams - you'll do much better by optimizing the disk reads and the network transfers. I've seen FlashBackup jobs top 60 MB/sec here. .../Ed -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

[Veritas-bu] Yet another bpstart/bpend script question
For Windows 2000 and NT clients the bpstart_notify and bpend_notify scripts have the following environmental variables: STREAM_NUMBER STREAM_COUNT STREAM_PID I created a quick and dirty bpstart_notify script to try and capture these, however I didn't get anything. How are these variables used? I really need to capture the STREAM_NUMBER if possible to help mitigate a job with multiple data streams. My idea is to use lock files to prevent the bpstart_notify from running once one stream has already started, and the bpend_notify script from kicking off until the last stream has completed.

Ahh Windows...
The bpimagelist.exe exists (in C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin), so
you can ge the totals, but you will have to find another way to "awk" the
total column and add them up.
Alternatively you could install CYGWIN, and use the command as if you were

[Veritas-bu] moving assigned media
Solaris 9 nb 5.0 mp6 Is there any easy way to move assigned media from one volume pool to another? We have recreated our volume pools to meet new internal standards but I have a bunch of tapes that cannot be moved because they are assigned. The last time I talked to Symantec they said it was messy trying to move tapes from one pool to another. Does anyone have a easy way to do this?
