It's been a long time since this was posted so I can assume you have resolved the problem one way or another.. but anyway here's my fourpenneth. When you write disk signatures you must make sure you have got the correct disk number along with the correct signature along with the correct drive...

SP4 is supposed to fix the Terminal server problem. As a work-a-round you can stop and start the job engine once you have set-up the job and submitted it. Once the engine as restared the job will appear and run if scheduled.

Some tapes have there 'virtual' data capacity written in bold easy to read lettering and there 'native' (ie real'ish') written smaller and less easy to see. I do not know of a 24Gb tape but I do know of lots of 12Gb tapes that advertise themselves as 24Gb. They can do this because they are...

Win2K, Terminal Services and Arcserve do not go together, Apparently, ARCserve (when run locally) needs to chat to hardware and the Terminal Services doesn't emualate this very well. Stick to either using ARCserve manager local or a wander to the W2K server.

You are not using Terminal Services to manage ARCserve are you? If you try and set up a job using Terminal Sevices from a NT client to the W2K server/Arcserve manager then the jon will not start without stopping and starting the engines. KevHF

Just as interest if you do not want all those 'Open File' messages in your logs run the open file client installed on your pc. Select the correct server and the 'Configure' button followed by the 'Clients' tab and take the tick out of 'Enable Extended features'.

Thanks Do you mean that in the source process I select through the network? Normally I just select the 'Current ARcserve Server' which obviosly isn't a virtual name. To backup via the network would increase the backup time window enormously. Kev

I have used both Veritas and ARcserve and find that if you want to back up NT servers simply and without issue Veritas is better. ARCserve 2K installed to a Win2k machine will not work - even for a simple job - out of the box. It doesn't set-up rights and permissions it requires to access it's...

Hi Are you aware of dsconfig.exe? I have MS clusters with multi network cards and apparently ARCserve picks anyone of these network cards for autodiscovery and if it picks the heart-beat (ie the wrong one) the server cannot be seen by remote ARcserve managers. If I am on the right line for you...

Clinton Thanks for your reply. If I read your response correctly then what is the difference in setting up ARcserve to run as a Cluster resource or running as standalone? We do not use exchange so I am not sure what you mean by 'info store'. However we back servers up each one being 80Gb and...

I am looking into making my ARCserve 2K systems cluster aware and was wondering if anyone has actual achived this yet. In essence I have several sets of MS clusters around the business, each one made up of two Compaq servers, external tape-drive, ARCserve 2k (SP2+bits) and backup jobs. Each node...
