[Veritas-bu] Backing Up Network Drives in Win2003

2007-05-07 Thread JAJA (Jamie Jamison)
Due to some problems with the NDMP implementation in our NAS head I'm forced (temporarily I hope) to back up NAS volumes by mounting them on a server and creating a policy that allows metwork drives to be backed up. On UNIX this works just fine, NFS mount the volumes, set up the policy and watch it

The only methods that I know of are to do the encrypting in hardware. You can use an external box inserted between the NDMP device and the tape drive. For example a DECRU box now owned by netapp. There are others. Or you can do it in the tape drive. The latest stk (sun) and ibm tape drives s

Actually, I have noticed that most internal RAID controllers tend to be pretty brain dead when it comes to RAID-10 (actually RAID 0+1), doing a round-robin read down both paths which results in *slower* I/O than a single disk (in a 4-disk RAID-10 anyway). I actually did a head-to-head comparis

Bring up your NIC(s) with different IP/names. Makes sure "files" is before DNS/NIS in your nsswitch.conf Make sure the "old" name resoves to one of the box's IPs via your local hosts file, and there should be no reason to ever change the name in your catalog. Changing the name is unsupported. Pau

If issue is just a new host on old IP you should be able to add a new record to DNS (or /etc/hosts) that points the name to the new IP. NetBackup doesn't store IPs - it does a lookup by name. In DNS you can use PTR records to associate alternate names to existing hosts. In /etc/hosts you can j

Will it be a master/media, or just a media with the Master at your Main site? Makes a bit of a diff, since a Master will have much more IO to the local catalog.
