I think what he means is that if he uses in-line copies, he loses one tape drive per in-line copy which due to the small backup windows would be a problem. I would seriously look into Storage Lifecycle Policies, because then you can configure a policy to do a backup at 8PM and then instruct the

[Veritas-bu] Flashbackup-Windows on MSCS Clusters

2008-10-20 Thread Martin, Jonathan
I understand that Flashbackup for Windows is not supported on MSCS clusters, but does it work? We're looking at removing our file clusters so we gain the ability to do flash backups. My question, is does this simply not work because of some limitation of cluster.exe, or does it work and its just

Our environment HP-UX 11.31 a SureStore 20/700 library with 10 LTO1 drives, NetBackup 6.5.2 Master / Media server and one Windows Media server using SSO. The Windows Media server and SSO are new and so far everything is working as planned. We may be adding another Linux Media server using SSO.

[Veritas-bu] Flashbackup-Windows on MSCS Clusters

2008-10-20 Thread tburrell
We've been using Flashbackup for Windows on MSCS for years with Netbackup support (trust me- I spent hours on the phone with them at first). It's got some quirks, but it does work. Biggest thing you have to keep in mind- your snapshot space needs to be in the cluster group with your data. We

As far as I understand it, SSO is licensed per drive. So if you only have 2 SSO licenses, you should only be sharing 2 of your drives. But you can share those 2 drives to as many Media Servers as you please. Licensing issues aside, SSO seems to be relatively solid in 6.5.x, as compared to prior re

How long is a piece of string? I don't think there you are going to find any "norm" in regards to this. It probably just comes down to what your business feels comfortable with. We do a full DR test at least once a year, as the business mandates. This involves recalling tapes from our offsite stor

I should add the caveat that I've haven't really dealt with LTO. I've been lucky enough to have always had the "enterprise class" tape drives (and media) on the systems I have looked after - STK 9x40 earlier, now IBM 3592. After almost 10 years, I can't recall ever having any kind of media related

This one has me stuck. We recently upgraded to NBU 6.5 and did not experience this problem with 5.1. I have several images on tape I need to duplicate to two copies on other tapes so that I can send them off-site. However, whenever I try to run the duplication job (just manually kicked off),

The Enterprise Base license does NOT include vault. You have to purchase the Vault Base license which will then give you the 4 drives to start with. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeffery Price Sent: Monday, October 20, 2008 2:03 PM
