Have you thought about cleaning it out as much as possible and re-installing it on the node that is causing the issues? Maybe even performing a repair? If you can get away with that, then the uninstall should work thereafter. Just a Thought. g

In answer to your questions. You should boot from a W2K3 CD and click (F2 i think it is) for Automated System Recovery. Then insert the ARCserve created ASR disk. Throughout the whole motion it will ask for the ARCserve CD rom and your Win2K3 CD again. You may want to verify this in the DR...

And possibly a resinstall and service pack of the OFA. g

Have you attempted an input into the servers hosts file? g

If it was backed up through a DBAGENT then it will need to be restored through a database agent. that said, you should be able to remotely restore this to another location (but it must be a database). Check the lotus notes user guide for more info. cheers, g

Hi Guys, Oddest thing. During the backup the NetWare server 5.1 latest support pack (5 i believe), i try pinging the server and get very erratic responses with large amounts of timeouts. That said, this server is only getting about 400 MB/minute in the backups. I know the problem isn't...

Hmmmm I am thinking a long erase is necessary in order to ensure the whole tape is formatted with the new compression ratio and DLT format. Try a long erase. g

So.... What service pack are you on then? And what patches are applied? g

And in the destination tab you can put in the new name that you want the tape to be called (ensuring that the options state that you'll pick up same media name or blank media). G

Hi guys, Thanks for your help. The ASUS CROM is in a master configuration however I have them both on Cable Select. Should I change one to master and one to slave hard coded? I will try this. I have also updated the drivers to the 4 in 1 Hyperion VIA drivers which are basically the...
