Hi All
I need to reinstall NT4 server on a backup server and then reinstall
Retrospect Server v5.
I have some concerns about the existing retro config and scripts being
retained and
the 100 or so clients still being able to access the new install.

Hello Julia,
Two suggestions for you depending on whether you want to go with Firewire
or SCSI.
* For a Firewiire solution, take a look at the new VXA-1 Firewire drive.
The only drawback is that you'll still have to switch tapes manually.
* For a higher capacity automated SCSI solution which will
Hello David,
The situation you described can be caused by issues related to the system, the SCSI
controller card, the cable, the terminator, other devices on the SCSI bus, or the
drive.
Ecrix technical support engineers are available to help you find a solution. Please

I have to put my .02 in here. Although I had initially had issues with
Ecrix I believe there technology if far superior to what is available on the
market at the same price. Since I know have it working it hasn't failed me
yet. I do nightly full backups of 18 gig at 247 meg/min.

...in that case, go with Sony's AIT-2. The company is certainly in no danger
and they also have a road map to higher capacity and performance.
Both VXA and AIT use evaporated metal media rather than particulate
media making head life and drive reliability a plus.

Hi Tim,
Ecrix has tape libraries (they call them autopacks) already in service.
And VXA-2 is right around the corner. AIT is a great sol
An Ecrix rep told me that they are coming out with VXA-2 later this
year, which should up capacity and make VXA even better. I just can't
decide if I should go with VXA now, or if I should wait for VXA-2.

I agree. IMHO the biggest problem with tape drives is not the purchase cost or the
tape costs, but the sheer level of grief ca
I'm not planning on taking the discussion offlist, though I've had a
few responses offlist, and those have recommended Ecrix or AIT, so
those are the leading contenders.

Yes; forgot to mention that firmware on the VXA and the Atto card are
all up to date, as are the drivers from Atto.

I have 2 external DP30 OnStream drives and they work fairly well although
they are cheaply constructed. I feel they are a good deal for the price but
I only use them for special use. For corporate backups I use an HP
Surestore 818 DLT Autoloader.

Hello, list!
My nightly backup script starts at 12:01A, and is typically done by 3AM. However,
this morning, I came in to find it still backing up the first defined folder of my
ASIP 6.3 server (G4, 192MB RAM), running a blazing 3.3MB/min over my switched 100B
network. As I watched the progr
Hi,
is someone out there using the External Script "Email Notifier" coming with
Retrospect Backup Server 5.11? I want to use it on a Win2000 Server and I
cann't get it to run.
