Hello, We presently have two separate Netbackup installations. We have one in our main datacentre for our production/development backups and one in a separate datacentre for our staging environment. The separate datacentre used for staging will also be used as our Disaster Recovery site - the...

I feel stupid asking this question since it should be easy to figure out. I have Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition version 8.0 installed on several standalone (unmanaged) servers. As the local administrator, I've scheduled daily scans on them - unfortunately, they do not run. I read...

That's what I thought it would do. Thanks for the info! Cheers, Mark

Hello, If there are several backup jobs queued waiting for an available tape drive and a restore is launched, does the restore have priority over the queued backup jobs? If not, is there a way to bump up a restore's job priority so it will have priority over the queued backups? Thanks, Mark

Hello, Is there a way in Netbackup to reserve a drive in a silo to be used only for restores and not backups? For examples, our silo has 8 DLT drives - 7 would be used for backups and 1 would only be used for restores. Thanks, Mark

Hello, We are planning to use BackupExec 10.0 to restore legacy backups done using Arcserve v6.5 and 2000 for Windows. I know that we can't restore any backups done using software compression - are there any other limitations that people have run into? Thanks, Mark

Hello, We are running Netbackup 5.1 MP2 and we are running into restore problems from certain backups - we are getting an allocation failed, status 10. The problem seems to happen for restores of many files at a time (around 8000000 - which doesn't seem like that many). To work around this...

We are using the central Netbackup Admministration Console (5.1 MP2) accessed via X Windows. Cheers, Mark

Hello, I was wondering if there was a way to change the default client that appears for the Destination Client in the Backup, Archive and Restore window. The reason I ask, is that we've had a few incidents where a restorer has forgotten to change the destination client and restored the data to...

Thanks stumpr, that's exactly what I was looking for. Mark

Hello, I was wondering if someone could point me to a document listing recommended kernel parameter settings for Netbackup 5.1 on HP-UX 11.0. I can't seem to find anything on the Veritas support site. Thanks, Mark

I was wondering if any one uses Veritas Global Data Manager to monitor all their NetBackup and Backup Exec systems. If so, what's your experience been with the product? Thanks, Mark
