Re: [Veritas-bu] encryption
If the data you are backing up allows for it, I would suggest just PGP encrypting it, and then tarring it up before sending it to tape.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Multiplexing problem
A couple things to keep in mind that can trip you up w/ multiplexing (and have done so to me in the past): 1) Configuration - The tape drive needs to be set up to multiplex and, if you really want to get the most bang for the buck, the policy should be set to multistream as well. 2) Media retention levels - you cannot multiplex policies with different retention levels to a single tape. f you have 3 policies w/ retention levels 2, 3, and 3, only the latter two will run if the tape in the drive is an RL3 tape. -Shane On 7/6/06, WEAVER, Simon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Make sure jobs are set to max of 99 - ensure storage unit multiplexing per > drive is set to a high value > > In the SCHEDULE of the policy, ensure multiplexing is set to a high value - > not as high as the storage unit if poss ! > > HTH > > Ie: Storage multiplex is 12 - schedule policy set to 6 - so 6 streams sent > to 2 drives - assuming 2 drives are available :-) > > Regards > > Simon Weaver > 3rd Line Technical Support > Windows Domain Administrator > > EADS Astrium Limited, B32AA IM (DCS) > Anchorage Road, Portsmouth, PO3 5PU > > Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > -Original Message- > From: Asiye Yigit [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 06 July 2006 14:18 > To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu > Subject: [Veritas-bu] Multiplexing problem > > > Hi All, > I have a problem.

[Veritas-bu] NDMP backup question
Hey all, I currently have a linux master/media server, with a scsi-attached robot, housing 10 drives, 4 of which are scsi attached to the master/media server, 5 of which are fibre attached to netapp filers. The spare drive is currently fibre attached to a newly built solaris box (solaris 10). We are trying to set up the solaris box as a media server/ndmp host for 3-way backups of mirapoint email appliances (which support 3-ways). The solaris box can see/communicate fine with the tape drive. It is set up as a storage unit on the master, with the media manager set to the solaris box, with storage unit type ndmp. For some reason or another everytime we try to kick off a policy to backup using it we immeadietly get a 219 (storage unit unavailable). The logs specifically say (on the solaris box), that there is no NDMP drive attached to the solaris box in the robot (tld 0 -> on the linux box). Anyone have any thoughts on this one? -Shane ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
