I have come across issues with our disk staging units as well, but it is not
fragmentation...
out of two media servers, only one presents the symptom of de-staging slowing
down.

good morning,
I am Interested in asking the community thier opinions for what hardware
platform works best for master only netbackup servers.
We currently are running our master in a master media configuration (with two
additional media servers) and it is time to refresh the master server hardw
Ohh great,
Sounds like I want some...
So the server 30K... The fast clients ?? How much do they cost, I would
like some of those too :-)

Very interesting
Regardless of cost, I have a similar setup with a T2000 and 10Gbe.
Can you tell me about any system tweaks, in particular TCP ?
Are you using jumbo frames for example ?

Greetings,
I've been asked to prepare a list of Attributes/Settings for Netbackup
Policies that, When modified, MAY Cause the next backup to be a Full
(ie. All files backed up regardless of modify time).
I was wondering whether anybody else could add to my list ?
Windows/Unix "Filesystem" backup
Jerald,
Thank you, I had been puzzled by that behaviour in our environment, just
never knew it was a "feature". Guess I should read MORE manuals.
We currenly back up 70-80TB between two heads, for the moment we are
happy with NDMP, however we have limited aggregates to 5TB, so backup's
take no lo
ditto, Been using the altnames since 4.5,
We have dev db servers that routinely get "refreshed" from the prod db,
so we have the altnames setup so the dev servers can only restore images
from the prod db server.
Use it for RMAN, SAP & Exchange. For file stuff, we just use the admin
console.

I previously (pre 6.x) had this set to "a couple of weeks" it may have
even been a month.
Never had any issues with it, although I do aknologe the java gui did
get slow.
If you are using VBR under 6.5 (I never ran 6.0, it may be the same) The
agent would timeout after 15 minutes, and the bpdbjobs
Kylie,
I can understand that disk space may not be available, however:
Disk mirroring.
Utilising disk mirroring, I have always found this the best
"rollback" method for most changes. Again, I have the "luxury" of
veritas volume manager, and mirroring / splitting pairs is relativly
easy.

Greetings,
Although I am not currently defragmenting my current DSU volumes, I
previously had ~4TB in a single DSU under NBU 5.1 . This volume was
running vxfs and did receive a couple of hundred "small <100MB" jobs
each day, with Full backups each evening.
I did notice fragmentation on the volum

I have not done this before, however I waspondering how I might actually
perform it.

How long does it take to erase the tapes in question ?

Good evening all,
I'm in the process of setting up another media server which will have
7TB of staging disk.
What have your experiences been with filesystem type X's performance
over Filesystem type Y ?
I'm running on a Solaris media server, so my interest directly lies with
UFS, VXFS, ZFS, or Q
4 drives when needed and backups can use them when not ?

Also, Very Interested,
My backup servers are 8core T2000's, we will be putting the SUN nxge
10Gbit cards into them.
I have only seen poor results from the card in back to back
configuration (the network is not at 10Gbit yet). so far i have been
misserable with results in line with Mr Preston's.

I have been asked by our SAP administrators for information regarding a
