Re: [Veritas-bu] DFSR backups with 6.5.4 not working
Current solution (workaround) is 6.5.3+registry hack and it works for (> 2TB DFSR) replicated folders. Justin. On Fri, 16 Oct 2009, Marc W.

Re: [Veritas-bu] DFSR backups with 6.5.4 not working
Hi Justin, I've gotten this to work, but only with very small replicated folders. I have the same issue as you with large replicated folders and have yet to find a solution. Thanks, Marc -Original Message- Hi Judy, Yes, I am aware of that, this is a brand new host and the start/stop scripts were not installed on it (nor the registry hack). If anyone has backed up a 6.5.4 w/DFSR I would be interested to hear how it was done, thanks. Justin.

Re: [Veritas-bu] DFSR backups with 6.5.4 not working
Hi Judy, Yes, I am aware of that, this is a brand new host and the start/stop scripts were not installed on it (nor the registry hack). If anyone has backed up a 6.5.4 w/DFSR I would be interested to hear how it was done, thanks. Justin.

Re: [Veritas-bu] DFSR backups with 6.5.4 not working
I have not gone to 6.5.4 yet, but I know you have to UNDO what you did with 6.5 to get dfs to work. So take away your scripts that stop and start dfs and take away the stuff you put in with regedit See tech note http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/326098.htm -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Justin Piszcz Sent: Thursday, September 10, 2009 5:21 AM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] DFSR backups with 6.5.4 not working Hi, Has anyone gotten DFSR backups to work with 6.5.4?
