    Backup software with specific functionality

    Looking for a backup product that has the ability to analyze a volume and know when files are legitimately deleted in a disaster recovery situation. Consider this scenario. Full backup on Friday with incrementals running everyday. Say your array dies on Tuesday for whatever reason. So you go...

    Backup utility that shuts down system after backup

    To answer your question about scheduling a shutdown after the backup is completed, most backup software has the ability to run a program after the backup is complete. You can create a batch file with the following code shutdown -s We use ARCserve at our site, which is a bit pricy, but is has...

    Write Cache on Domain Controller File Servers

    Thanks for clearing this up technome. The reason why I thought the JRNL_WRAP was related to the disk cache was because the event I received indicated the FRS could not write to the disk, so I thought this may be related to write caching. But thinking back on this, the fact that the disk ran out...

    Write Cache on Domain Controller File Servers

    I have 30 sites connected via VPN with domain controllers in each site that also act as file servers. All of these servers are physical. I have had issues where a change was made in the login script, but this change did not make it to a certain DC. I discovered that the FRS had quit working and...

    DNS records from 3 years ago

    What I am trying to do is test how things would occur on my domain, without actually making changes to the domain. We have a bunch of service/site records missing from the domain dns zone, but the forest zone contains these records. I am trying to figure why these entries are missing from...

    DNS records from 3 years ago

    I just ran an LDAP query on Active Directory and I am finding that all of these servers exist in AD, even though they are not visible through any of the common tools. So the information was pulled from AD obviously, but the question remains why is this info still in AD? We have no sites that...

    DNS records from 3 years ago

    I have totally isolated this server so it is pulling the info from itself. It is an AD-integrated zone. Ipconfig /displaydns showed some entries, but none indicated anything on the 192. They referred to hostnames and local loopback address. After clearing DNS I only get response from the...

    DNS records from 3 years ago

    I have a virtual DC that I promoted on my domain, then moved to an isolated network for testing. I deleted that domain DNS zone, restarted the netlogon service, then checked DNS again. What happened was the entire zone was populated with DNS records from years ago, back when we were on the...

    ARCServe Logs eat disk space

    Just so it is on record. I phoned ARCServe on this and they have no solution for it. We went through disabling each trace via the registry, but there were no gains. I asked the helpdesk person how I can have one default install out of the box cause this issue and another on the exact same...

    ARCServe Logs eat disk space

    Look, I in no way insulted you, unless you are ARCServe. If you can honestly tell me that ARCServe is not the buggiest backup software on the market, then I will take your last point as valid. However, you would think that after producing backup software for the 6 years I have been involved with...

    ARCServe Logs eat disk space

    those are the settings in question, however it seems that arcserve just does whatever it wants. I have 2 servers both running 11.5 SP4, one of them fills the c drive with logs, the other doesn't. All settings are the same on both servers, one fills up the drive, one doesn't. Long story short...

    ARCServe Logs eat disk space

    ARCServe 11.5. If a backup job sits waiting for a tape, tskjob####.log will write entries until the drive is full. I am wondering if anyone knows how to limit this log size? I've tried limiting tape log to 100 MB, but obviously that does nothing. I'd rather not sit through ARCServe support on...

    DISKPART command line utility

    I'm trying to setup a batch file to map and unmap a volume to my server quite regularly. It is for the purpose of backing up. I have an external storage array that supports snapshots, which essentially copies the data from the volume you select to a new volume, then you back up that volume and...

    Database engine crashing

    Thanks everyone for your posts. I actually just found out we consolidated down to one SQL 2005 box, so I have no SQL 2005 instances in any of my remote sites anymore. I'm not sure what kind of WAN traffic would result from having a central SQL Arcserve database located in my central office, I've...

    Database engine crashing

    I've got an issue with the DB Engine crashing constantly on one of my servers. I run that stupid VLDB database because I don't have SQL 2000 licenses, only 2005. I had no problems up until I upgraded from 11.1 to 11.5 SP2. Ever since then my db engine has been crashing constantly, causing...
