Thx, position filled 2 months ago. My apologies for not posting any updates.

OzzMosiz, thx for your response. The repetitive tasks include from cradle to grave client installs and configs. A new system comes into production on average 2 per day. The NBU install should be totaly automated. From A build request/questionaire, the script will install the app, configure host...

Hello - I'm looking to hire a Sr. System Admin/Automation Engineer for the purpose of automating Netbackup installs, reporting and eliminating repetitive manual tasks. What experience/skill set would you recommend to fill such a position? Any language preference that Netbackup works well with...

Dark Green = SDLT I (110/220/320) Brown = DLT IV (40/80) at least...

Thanks Highlander and Stumpr-this certainly helps. My biggest complaint is the NDMP and Netbackup don't talk much-when it works it works-but when you have problems-its very time consuming to figure out.

The Option to shut off vsp is via the Host Props of your master server. Some win clients just don't like vsp. Be sure to delete the vsp cache files-that will continue to grow and eat up all your disk space.

Sorry for the late follow up. But the problem with the slowness was VSP was enabled. I opened a case and Veritas recommended to turn it off during a process like this. Worked fine after that.

My Response to #1. I don't use "Multiple Retention Periods" because I have heard it could become hard to manage the media. Tapes having all but one image expired are what I've heard is the challenge. Can anyone elaborate how you work around this? By company policy, I have to have multiple...

Right on comtec. I did manage to do a cifs share remotely and it did work. Thx!

How soon is your 500gb volume filling up?

Hello cometec17, I have both 5.0 MP3 and 5.1MP1. I am using disk-staging on 5.1 with local attached disks. Is this the only way disk based backups will work? With locally available disks like in a SAN/ISCSI config? I just want to map to another server with large partitions but it doesn't...

Buy more tapes.

Very odd couple -Symantec and Vrts. I've been using Netbackup for about 20 months and nothing catastrophic to report. Yes it is a big learning curve but friends at Ticketmaster, Motorola, big companies use this product. They have a larger research dept than just me at my company so they can't...

I guess that's what I get for opening web tix. I don't have time most of the time to be on hold for support, so I open a ticket via the web and wait for them to call me back. Thx for the tip!

RE: Legato Networker; you *are* joking? Same as support is lacking. Australia is good. I can't understand the Indian techs. I forward my questions to my local SE and he's better responding.
