Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP Question

2008-04-29 Thread Tharp, Trey
Yes, if you do remote NDMP backups to a media server storage unit then that storage unit will take multiplex streams as normal. Performance is not spectacular, though. I only use this method in some of our larger remote offices that have small filers (<2TB) and only 2-4 tape drives to backup the lo

Question, Normally when you dedicate a drive(s) to a NDMP host that host can only use one tape drive per host and cannot multiplex data streams. If you chose not to dedicate any tape drives to the NDMP host and chose to use the remote NDMP backup method, can a single host use multiple tape driv

This is a situation where a VTL would be quite useful. You could create some virtual drives that are assigned as NDMP drives and dedicated to a filer, and also have a suitable number of non-NDMP drives assigned to master or media servers. The VTL would then clone tapes from both behind the scenes

If you want the second policy to run only after the first, then create a USER schedule in the second policy, create a bpend_notify.firstpolicy script/bat/cmd file and have it call the second policy. Of course if what your looking for is maximum tape usage this will accomplish the exact opposite.

The only way I could see to do this would be to use an external scheduling tool like Tivoli Workload Scheduler (Maestro). I don't see how this would "maximize the tape useage" however. It seems it would be a bit inefficient overall as you'd be arbitrarily preventing a job from kicking off when it
