Thanks to all for the help, both on-list and off. A simple one-liner script scheduled with the Windows scheduler did the trick. 11:30 minutes for off peak. I think our on-peak ran for about 20 before I killed it. Jason > -Original Message- > From: Ed Wilts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >

Hi all, I misconfigured(?) my weekly full backups to run once a week, starting Friday night, and then I changed it to run once a day, but one of the two job started immediately because it's still within the window, but the other one still hasn't started yet by itself, any reasons? Many thanks,

Hi, Yes I appreciate that, also all of the different backup images on a tape need to be expired for the tape to be reused. What stumps me at the moment is getting information from Netbackup's catalog. There is no bpcatlist in the installation!   Regards   Pete -Original Message-Fr

Agreed.  70MB/sec writes is disappointing but acceptable for my requirements.  On a fast cpu machine you'll see better performance with software raid.  That's normal.  There's lots of other reasons to go with 3ware.  Here's what led me there: - Auto-sector repair.  With big disks, this is critical.

1) You will need a Windows Server setup as a Windows BMR boot server. This is a Big change from NB 4.6, we complained to our sales rep about this. Since we have a Solaris 10 master, we need another windows computer to boot the other clients. It seems that the reason that it was changed because of

Actually, it works for windows and other os's as well, unlike jumpstart. It will make a point-in-time image of a bootable OS for several different operating systems from the same BMR server. That's a bigger trick in the Windows world that most UNIX/Linux variants, I admit. And the problem of reco
