Re: [Veritas-bu] Exchange 2010 daily fulls vs incrementals

I have not seen anything, but have not really looked/asked either. We run daily fulls and will as long as we can reliably and cost effectively do so. Ken From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Stafford, Geoff Sent: Friday,

Only the first restore to lay the data down should require this effort. After that time you should be using NDMP for the backups in which case all subsequent restores should be direct via NDMP. Ken > -Original Message- > From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu

Two questions for you: 1) Do/Would you use synthetic fulls (Syncsort does incrementals forever)? 2) Do your clients have the horsepower to handle source side deduplication? We could not move as there are some legacy systems they do not fully support in our environment. Ken > -Origin

Then if you really need this the items to look at are STREAM_COUNT and STREAM_NUMBER. Generally we add smarts into the script to track if a stream is the first to start or the last to finish as those are generally the streams you want to perform some action (the bpstart and bpend scripts run on ev

I think if you are doing single stream/channel they work fine; if you are using multi stream/channel it is a serious challenge to use them. Good Luck, Ken > -Original Message- > From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu- > boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behal

We run a combination of Solaris x86, Sparc and Red Hat media servers. We use Sparc where our production servers are Sparc as it allows us to perform snapshots and mount them on the media servers for off-host backups. We use Solaris x86 on a Sun/Oracle X4500 server using ZFS (box has 48 SATA dri

We have been using the Sun Fire x4500 (the pre-cursor to the x4540) as a media server for over 3 years. We originaly used RH Linux and then switched to Solaris x86_64. These machines are awesome. We have the 4x1Gb nics trunked together and regularly see 275MB/s and better for backup performance.

That is a shame as this is a great opportunity for Disaster Recovery. It would be very easy to have a media server at the DR location and use a virtual machine for the master server on the same physical box as the media server. We are looking to do this using a Solaris Container with async replica
