Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 6.5.1 and BMR
The information I received from our technical support rep is: Windows 2003 x64 support for BMR is scheduled to be included in NBU 6.5.2 (March 2008 timeframe). The key word is scheduled to be included in 6.5.2. If for some reason it didn't make 6.5.2 in March I would expect to see it in June timeframe.

See the heading "How Calendar Scheduling Interacts with > Daily Windows" in all manual releases. It says that, but it's not always true. I'm using calendar based schedules with start windows that cross midnight on both 5.1 and 6.0 installations. In all cases my backups launch at the start of the window, not shortly after midnight. I don't know why I'm so lucky, but it works well for me. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOShttp://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?

These are all good questions, and ones that, IMHO, need to be answered no matter what your DR strategy: > And where do you keep your documentation on your partitions? My recovery CD has config files for each system to be recovered. Alternatively, I could keep a config file (automatically updated with the current partition structure) on each client and restore that as the first step in the recovery process. My environment isn't that dynamic and having it on the CD saves a step. > Is the admin that replaces you 5 years from now going to know > what those partitions are supposed to look like? Yes, since the partitions are documented in the config file, as well as our server documentation (which is also in our DR kit). > Is he/she even going to be > able to find that recovery CD? Yes. It's a part of our DR kit, along with documentation on how to use it. >Are you regularly updating that Knoppix > CD with a current NetBackup client Yes. > Are you testing that CD? Regularly, via formal audits, as well as using that CD to create copies of systems in our test lab. >Do > you have a copy of that CD in your offsite storage location? Yes.

[Veritas-bu] Any BMR with Linux clients success ?
> And where do you keep your documentation on your partitions? Your solution > sounds simple but when you have dozens of systems with varying Linux You could make periodic backups of the partition layout with "sfdisk -d". For LVM, it's always saved to /etc/lvm/backup. Then 1st restore those files to repartition the drives, and launch the full restore.
