Um, whoever owns the guns owns the means of production. Mao was correct on that point. Kurt On Tue, Sep 13, 2011 at 12:26, Jonathan Link wrote: > Yes, technically that could be a dictatorship or any sort of despotic > government. > > In socialism the state own or control the means of production

Re: Unix Backups

Yes, technically that could be a dictatorship or any sort of despotic government. In socialism the state own or control the means of production. They may or may not determine who owns the guns, too, but that is separate from the govenmental authority over enterprises. On Tue, Sep 13, 2011 at 3:2

Re: Unix Backups

So, how many support cases have you had to open on your AIX system, with Symantec? If licenses are perpetual, then just keep using the product that works for you, and hit the forums for support. I've had better response from the Symantec forums, than I have from support, it seems. >>> Cameron

It's a combination of Pro Isam/Oracle databases and our ERP application and a few other apps...however, I don't need to backup the Oracle databases themselves as there are cold backups being done every night and I can backup those.

Re: Unix Backups

So, what are you backing up on the AIX box? And what are you wanting to do? Tar to a windows shared folder which is then backed up by your BackupExec infrastructure could work. Don't know if that's sufficient for your needs, though. On Tue, Sep 13, 2011 at 9:48 AM, Cameron wrote: > *sigh*ap

As many others have mentioned, your email is lacking in useful detail. My personal favorite Linux/Unix backup software would be BackupPC. It is a highly unix scriptable Disk to Disk backup solution. Perhaps it will fill your needs. http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ --Matt Ross Ephrata School

Symantec "what" doesn't support AIX? I just looked at the compatibility document for Netbackup, and AIX is supported as both client and server. 64 bit anyway... And, at a minimum, AIX 5.3 TL7 SP5, or higher, for Netbackup 7.x >>> Cameron 9/12/2011 2:17 PM >>> Good afternoon all, Now that S
