Tape has its place in my view. Sure tapes can fail, but if looked after properly - written to above the streaming speed to avoid 'shoe-shining', handled and packed correctly if moved etc ... they can be very reliable. ... but I would agree, they can still fail, but, then again so can disks...

To be fair, Symantec AV is vastly improved from what it was, it was completely re-written 2 or 3 years back from memory - if it would have protected from CryptoLocker I don't know, but then again, I've seen Nod32 miss a virus that had been knocking around for ages - at the time this happened...

Hmm, what is in the bpbkar log (from the client ).

If you mean you wish to direct the individual logs to the syslog file you can't do this. The vxlogs can be moved location, as in a different directory and in NBU this should be done with the vxlog commands, so that the log location is set in the nblog.conf file (a file that must not be edited...

Also, what version of NBU is this ?

Have you got an exclude file in place ?

When I get how long a problem will take - the answer is simply "I'll tell you when I've finished it". If it were suggested that my job was 'easy' - I would invite the person in question to do it for me.

Settings that could affect this sort of error Max job per policy Max job per client Max job per storage unit Max concurrent write drives setting in storage unit Check MPX level is schedules if using MPX Other ideas, recreate storage unit, with NO jobs running, run nbrbutil -resetall Martin

I presume here you mean the master server has been renamed. In a nutshell, this cannot be done, the name of the master server is 'embedded' withing the EMM DB and if the hostname is changed things will stop working. There is a way to rename a master server, but it requires the services of a...

Ok, go with my advice. If you are unsure, best to log a call with Symantec. Easier to do this and x2 check, than have to fix things later. Martin

1)Does the catalog need to be in place prior to the upgrade, or can we upgrade and then restore the catalog? 2) We will be maintaining the current master server name. This is a requirement, the master server hostname cannot be changed without consulting services. 1) When you upgrade, you do...

The header is just a 1K block - dd should copy this also - note, the copied tape will need an identicle bar code of course ... I've just tried it, coping the header from one tape to another using dd ... Only way to find it, it to give it a go I guess ... Here I have two tapes in two drives...

You could make the drives non-robotic, and then try loading the tapes manually.

If you are on Unix, then the dd command may work. This performs a block-by-block copy of the tape. Martin
