Question on setup

2007-05-12 Thread Donofrio, Lewis
I'd like to backup 474gib of data, and hold this and increment for one week. Would I just adjust the dumpcycle to 7 instead of default of 10. I need enough holding space to properly stream to vtapes or to a jukebox in the future. --thanks for you time.

Re: to disk to tape?

2007-05-10 Thread Donofrio, Lewis
You need to keep vtape as close to the size of your physical tapes as possable - as far as I know...and going from data to holding to vtapes to physical tapes will require two jobs. One for data to holding to vtapes then one for vtapes to holding disk to archival media. --someone corrent me

RE: amverify - reality check?

Thanks one and all for your input, I am planning on using a holding disk, vtapes for storage and archiving to ati2 tapes. I realize that the amverify would be rough on tape drives, but if I use d2d I should be fine. And I'm aware that its done all on the clients but I need to be able to ensure

2007-05-07 Thread Donofrio, Lewis
Folks, I've been tasked with guaranteeing that the backup vtapes or in the future real tapes are good. So I found the command amverify that seems to be the correct routine but I want to know does it completely check the archive and the files contained within?

RE: activate HW compression

2007-05-02 Thread Donofrio, Lewis
This is my first post here - I thought people should never use tape hw compression because each vendor implements their own compression protocols. Say you need to restore files from a different tape host and if your not using the exact same hw vendor then you might have an *issue* or two? --and
