One thing i forgot to mention is using ADV FILE TYPE of Device to backup, you can run all your incrementals to file type device, ( no cost except disk space on NAS or server). No disk backup licence is required, then you can just backup once a month and keep it offsite for a year. You can still...

Not a oracle admin myself, i have forwarded the question to the team, from what i do know, the oracle is saying the write failure to the disk\hardware might have caused bad block ( Raid or data correption-dont know)

Oracle utilities reporting bad block (corrupted block)on the Disk, i cannot find any errors related to that or other in Windows 2000 server inviroment, the server is P-DL380, Raid 5. Oracle 8. any suggestions ?

Use tapes and inquire command to list your devices, reconfigure the tape library, use nsrjb -HEvvv to reset it. Appreas that networker is getting confused. Disable any divices you do not use.

Can you explain the index recovery process, is it via nsrck -L7 client name ( merge it with existing index)or just replacing index directory for the client in question on the backup server after recovering it.

There is a mminfo switch that lists client ids on the server, also, i have renamed clients often no problem as long as you use the same client id. last resort you can plug in old or new aleas in aleas feild to fool the networker. ( depending on which client is working) You might also be able to...

I apprecate your comprehensive response, i am evaluating powersnap module for SAN backup of Clarion, in your openion what is the best backup software in such an enviroment.

In case of LTO, the chip records number of times its been used, also some networker utilities such as tapeexcer can be used to diagnose a problem along with drive manufacturers own utilities. Also inproperly configured devices might trough read errors or could be lose or bad cables cards etc .

Does any one have links, ideas and information on how Networker features compare to say Galaxy ? Netbackup, which one is your favorate and why, has any one switched from or to Networker and why ?

Is any one aware of Networker jurnal published in 5 volumes, at drenpress, the site appears to be art site, however the books seems good, is any one bought any thing from them, do you know any other books or publication on Networker similar to what drenpress has ?
