It looks like I resolved the filter issue. Even though my test case is looking for linux files that end in lowercase 'i' I need to tell the filter to look for files that end in uppercase 'I'. I suppose if I had some of each I could find a way deal with having both show up in the list. I won't...

Those are both good ideas. There's no need to google. My tar files are on a linux system which comes with a utilty called split. There's one small problem. It indiscriminately splits at fixed size boundaries and doesn't know if it's cutting a sentence in half. I'll deal with that if I need too...

I thought I had found a different solution to the problem. I tried running a scan of each session with full reporting in the activity log. My system has 4GB of memory. It ran for a while and then I got a popup that said "Out of Memory." I've been trying to use report writer to create my own...

Hi, We are running R12. I need to get a detailed listing of all the files on one of our backups. I'm using the Report feature to do a "Session Detail Report". This seems to me to be the report I need. However, there is a problem. The reports get truncated at 5 MB. Is there a way to increase...

I'll offer the little information I know. First let me say that I don't know what the quick erase does to the database. If that info isn't there anymore and it's not on your backup then the task gets harder. I suppose you could always restore the whole media. That assumes you've got enough space...

You'll need to know how the user has their T1 configured. At one point we used 8 of the slots for voice. In that case we needed to tell our CSU which slots were available. That used older hardware. We now use the whole T1 for data and an 1841. For us all the default parameters worked. Sometimes...

How does NAT come into play here. We are served by 2 ISPs. We use route maps to decide which NAT pool to use. For most of our browsing and downloads we pick an address from pool B and use ISP #2. If we need to get at our ftp/web server we use pool A. The ftp/web server routes out ISP #1. IT...

Still more info. The ultimate goal here is to run tapecopy as a post script. Therefore, I need to be able to use a generic set of arguments. The scenario should always be the same. The source FSD will be in PGRP1 and the dest will be in PGRP2. Each group will only have 1 FSD in it. For testing...

Here's some more info. What we are trying to do is create a copy of a full backup that we can take out of the building. The offsite copy is in a different media pool. I don't know if that is the cause of the problem. We are changing the way we do our backup and already have a media pool for the...

Hi, I'm having my first go at tapecopy and it is not going well. The command I'm using is tapecopy -dPRGP2 -qOnOrAfter(9/22/08,21:10) There are two issues I'm having. The first and most important is that the copy isn't happening. This is what I see. Copying session 1 of 18 Before...

Linux doesn't have archive bits either and for years, make that decades, the way around this was external control files. If the modify date is newer than the last backup date then add this file to the backup. It's not a hard concept. Linux has multiple backup levels so there's an extra step or 2...

I can't say I've ever heard of a linkstation. We have the same issue (that's pronounced problem) here with our linux servers. The way we got around this was to setup a filter for each server. We only include files modified in the past 3 days. The arcserve concept of days is not what I expected...

Here's what we do here. We've got 11 FSDs. 4 of these are used for an incremental on Monday - Thursday. 5 of these are used for a full backup of the accounting system that is done each weekday. There is one for a full backup on Friday and one for a full Monthly backup on the last Sunday of the...

Things to look at: Can you run packet snoops on your tacacs server? It would be reassuring to see if the packets are getting there. Does the tacacs server log requests? If so, you don't need to snoop the packets. Do your access-lists allow response packets back into the router? - Joel

I'll add a cautionary note here. We do a rotation that we manage ourselves. Mostly because the differential and full backups are a little different. We've got 5 2-bay USB chassis. On 1 drive we have 4 folders for Mon - Thu. The other drive has one folder for the full on Friday. Each Monday we...
