Just one question, are you doing a full or incremental backup on this Linux box? If you did a full backup at some point, then are only doing incremental, it's very possible you only need to backup 32 files. When viewing the files that are backed-up, make sure you select to view your...

Sorry, Exchange Version 5.5 Legato Exchange Module 1.1 But like I said I'm not able to use the Exchange module because I can't browse the backups done before April 2001. Thanks again for your help

I agree, you should have an Intel version of the OS to pratice on at home. The section that deals with openboot is not very large, so using a good book ie Sun Certified System Administrator for Solaris 8 Study Guide (Sun Microsystems Press) should do just fine. I also want to note that...

Not sure about doing that in the client properties, but I would suggest doing it with a policy. If your client is included in a policy that says "All local Drives" then that's what it will do. I have created separate policies for many clients based on the fact that I need only a few...

We recently had a request to restore mailboxes from our old legato (4.4.1) backup server from more then 2 years ago. Problem was that our browse retention period was set to 2 years, and we are not able to view backups done before april of 2001. Our retention period for the same backups was set...

I have to agree with worldchanger, the patch did seem to correct the problem, we've been running without problem for about 2 months now. Thanks for all your help.

I've confirmed that savecore is started at boot, and no power management is running. Again, nothing in the logs, and no core files anywhere. If a fan fails, does it go through a shutdown, and if so, wouldn't it log something? The drives are configured as mirror, with disksuite, so I would...

I've come across the same kind of issues, the way you do it will depend on the use of the system. We had a system with 12 disks that would be a database server. We basically configured it as follows. 2 disks used for the base OS and directories. The disk were large, 36 Gigs, so we simple put...

Hello, I've been having a problem with my Sun Netra T1 server for past few months now. It seems every once in a while the server will just go down for no known reason. It's compleatly dead to the world, no Lom or OK prompt, and the only what to get it back up is to power down and back up...

Hi, We have a Cisco 2611 router that we are using as our link to the internet, we have a main feed that is using Ethernet0/1, and our backup internet feed on Ethernet1/0 (Ethernet 0/0 is our link to the internal network). Our backup connection used to be a DSL, and it was using a static IP...

Thanks Solfan, I seemed to have worked around the problem, The way disksuite works is if a second disk goes bad in a raid 5 group, it makes it as you said Last Erred, but still allows you to read from the disk. I read somewhere that if you do a read analysis of the disk you may be able to fix...

Hello, I have an old Sun Enterprize 1 server configured with a Raid 5 device using disksuite. Just today, I had a disk go in to the maintenance state. The format command couldn't even tell what kind of disk it was, so we assumed the disk was bad. We shut down the server and replaced the bad...

Hi, I trying to create a backup with my NB Datacenter product that will be givin' to another company to restore in there own NB environment. Can this even be done, or will they not be able to restore a tape created in my environment? Thanks for any insight into this. Phil

Thanks for your answers guys, just needed a little guidance that I wasn't doing anything bad by changing the usernames. Many thanks again Phil

Hi Blockguy, Not sure, that one seemed to help quite a bit with our problem, except that our restore was taking way more then 3 times the backup time. Our Backups were taking about 1 1/2 hours to do, and when I first tried the restore, it took over 24 hours to complete. When I changed the...
