Please, take a look here. It's a similar problem than yours. http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/WinNT/Q_20709878.html Paulo Meireles

That problem is typically caused by SCSI bus errors due to poor quality or malfunctioning cables or connectors. Also, you should check the electrical ground, and check if it's the same for both servers and tape lybrary; if it's not, you could be in trouble. Also, it could be that you're...

The equivalent of "erasing CMOS" on Compaq servers is by running the System Erase Utility. That is on the Smartstart CD or can be downloaded from the HP site and run from a floppy. However, it will also erase all your disks and RAID volumes, so you should disconnect them prior to...

It depends on what you mean by "internet access". If you only mean "web access" (http and ftp - yeah, and gopher) then the answer is "no", as stated by stoney5050. You only have to configure the server as your proxy on the web browser. However, if by...

There are two answers for that, depending on how much down time you can afford: 1 - If you can have no downtime, you solution doesn't reside in backups - you need what's called "high-availability". That can be a cluster, or a solution like Double-Take from www.nsisoftware.com. 2 - If...

Hi, You should upgrade your agents for security reasons: several vulnerabilities have been discovered on agents version 4.x and 5.x. The current Proliant Support Pack can be downloaded from the HP site and is about 50MB. Paulo Meireles

One more tip: implement DFS. It won't help a bit on your current problem, but it would if it were already implemented. This way, next time you have to change servers, it will be trivial, as DFS "virtualizes" the file locations (ie, the server where they reside). Paulo Meireles

Hi, Your idea is ingenious, but is maybe not the best way to go. Of course, there are speciality high availability solutions (clustering, online backups, off-site real-time replication, etc.) but I suppose you're instead looking for a cheap, not too complicated, quick-and-dirty solution. I have...
