Re: [Veritas-bu] Exchange 2003 Information Store Backup Slow

Hi Well my Ex2k3 is a SAN Media - get approx 60 - 80GB+ - I backup the information store policy and it uses one drive. You can use the * at the end to stream the stores (which sounds like the route veritas has made). To give you an idea, checking last nights backup took 47 mins to backup 75GB

Re: [Veritas-bu] How to run multiple polices on the same clientsimultaneousl

Hi, Accordin to me if you are running a Filesystem backup (ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES) then just forget about running any other policy at the same time(eg SQL policy). An multistreaming wont help you in this situation. It is used to complete a policy faster depending upon your drive availability. R

Re: [Veritas-bu] performance tuning - when to use buffers

You can look in your bptm log for information which will tell you what your buffers are doing If you do a search on the symantec knowledge base you should find a few technotes Search for SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS - that is one of the config files -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PR

Re: [Veritas-bu] NOM

The canned reports suck in NOM, but we have a number of reports coming out of NOM. It is not very stable and not very user friendly. I think Veritas would rather you use their product that you pay for (I think its called advanced reporter??). -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ma

Re: [Veritas-bu] NOM

I think we've come to a consensus here that NOM's reporting is terrible, awful and/or completely useless. I think Curtis said it best when he said people shouldn't expect an "Operations Manager" to produce useful reports. Apparently you shouldn't expect to use it for much operation either. -Jona

Hello All, I have just completed the upgrade to 6.0 mp4. I was wondering if anyone as set up some sort of daily/monthly reporting using NOM. I am having a heck of a time. We are going to move to another solution in the future but for now I have to use NOM. Anything would help at this point. Tha

Re: [Veritas-bu] Has anyone done benchmarking of any sort with..

FWIW, The official answer from Symantec is that if you're using a VTL, then you should buy the VTL license. Their logic is that when you bought your tape drive license, you didn't buy a license to back up to virtual tape, you bought a license to back up to real tape. Now that you're backing up

Re: [Veritas-bu] How to run multiple polices on the same clientsimultaneousl

There are a few things at work here: 1. Number of simultaneous jobs per client Make sure the default, global setting of 1 is changed. (It's under master server properties.) Make sure that someone hasn't set a bpclient max jobs setting (either bpclient command, or ma

[Veritas-bu] Re: How to run multiple polices on the same client simultaneousl

I'm in the same situation. I've read everything I can find about multi-streaming, and thought I had it all configured, but no joy on getting a policy, or even two separate policies that use the same volume pool, to stream to more than one tape drive. +--

All, I have 2 Exchange 2003 servers, both running Server 2003 SP2. I will have to admit I don't know much about the 2003 exchange setup, but I was told that they are on the latest patches for Exchange. Both servers are SAN Media servers and backup to a tape drive via SSO. The Silo is a L700E wi

[Veritas-bu] performance tuning - when to use buffers

What is the best rule to use with performance tuning to get maximum speed from tape devices - should one use default buffer settings or custom buffer settings? Where do i find the recommendations for buffer settings for different drive types (HP LTO3 and HP LTO3 Worm in particular). Other

Re: [Veritas-bu] Has anyone done benchmarking of any sort with..

Depends which licensing model you're following. If you have an Enterprise site license, fine. I think Jon and I are both licensing the robots and a "per drive" scheme, in which case we're both paying for our VTLs. However, since you can create a ridiculous number of virtual drives on a VTL it mak

Re: [Veritas-bu] Has anyone done benchmarking of any sort with..

Well, actually if your VTL masks itself as a regular robot... Licensing is non-existent. Because the EMC CDL/EDL that I have can look like an L700E and I already have the license for a robot like this, and I have enterprise licenses then I had to pay nothing extra thru Veritas. Kevin -Or

Re: [Veritas-bu] Has anyone done benchmarking of any sort with..

Hey Jon. Yes, I used this extensively prior to installing the VTL. I had three media servers, each with a pair of either LTO2 or LTO3 drives, with MPX=8 on each STU. All of my clients were separated into policies for clients with gigE NIC (MPX=2) and clients with 100Mb NICs (MPX=8) I guess th

Re: [Veritas-bu] Has anyone done benchmarking of any sort with..

Hey Paul, Have you actually tried to implement this before (same STU being used with multiple policies, two (or more) different MPX levels)? Yours is the same theory I figured on, being that the lowest MPX number wins out, but I've observed differently when actually implementing it (NBU 5.1 MP
