I've used arcserve also on multiple drives, in fact, I had it running on an older EXB-440 library with 4 drives and it was great. Concerning Brightstore; I'm in no way trying to sell Veritas. I figure that I have a right to atleast inform others of the issues that I've had with BS. I really...

Make sure that the password you changed is also reflected in the credentials for the dependant Services. You may be trying to start something with the wrong password.

Well after a year of trying to manage BrightstoreS Ver. 9 we've replaced it with Back Up Exec. 9 Since we purchased and installed Brightstore we have been plagued endless performance problems: Extremely low performance on Full and Incremental backups, database crashes and software failures...

Hi, We are currently looking into replacing our back up solution and we are looking hard at Backup Exec's latest. We are a medium sized business with about 45 server (mixture of NT Server, 2k Server and Win 2003 Server and one Exchange 5.5 server). We normally back up 450 GB on the full...

Hi, I've had the same problem 3 times now. I just had new drive installed (3rd one) and I'm still getting the mentioned errors. Even on brand new tapes. Exabyte has requested that I run the cleaning tape on the drive 10x and then see what happens.

Hi guys: Refer to this thread, maby it will help Server Rack > Back-up Systems > Computer Associates: ARCserve back-up Forum Slow Backups thread478-446991

This is a frequent problem with their DB, Best thing to do is either Reinitialize the database in the Server Admin - you lose everything! You will be required to Merge tapes to do a restore. Fun eh? Have the guys at CA send you a new DB via e-mail and keep it handy, you're gonna need it...

According to CA Bribk Level backups are slow by nature. The manner in which the back up is done is alot more drawn out. Since the mailboxes have sub directories and piles of messages this tends to be quite slow. We get abot 36-40 mb/per min here. Here are some things you can try. 1. Check that...

I have Sharemem, CA sent it to me. I cannot get it to work with Brightstore V.9 I get an error telling me that the Tape Engine is Not Started, when it is. I don't think this app is designed for Brightstore. Paul

Sure thing, here's what they sent me: Hello This is with reference to your issue # 12694610, kindly check the following 1. Go to local area connections -> Choose configure -> Choose advance tab and choose the Duplex -> check the drop box for full duplex. (Once the above settings is made the...

Well, I was able to resolve some issues on Friday. First I opened another call with CA. After explaining my problems concerning through-put they sent me a set of registry keys to modify. Before I did that I updated the Firmware on my SCSI card and reloaded the latest drivers from Adaptec. After...

I've gone back to an older driver. Nothing worth noting seen. I'm going to try another one later on. Paul Montreal

Glad to hear that. We've been struggling with poor through-put for a while. We adjusted TCP Window sizes and put all of our cards to Half Duplex. That seems to haveresolved a few issues. And to top it off we just had the Exabyte drive replaced this week. Can't say that this is been any fun...

Thanks, I'm going to try and downgrade the driver of my 2940U2W and see what happens. How is the performance on you incrementals? Paul

Can you tell me what version of driver you went back to? Please include the date. Thanks paul
