Ok, it looks like I may have a problem with my database. Is there anyway after I have fixed my database (initialise) that I can get Brighstor to see the real name of the tapes and also the data that is stored on them ?

Hi, I've had a job that ran over the weekend and is reporting that it backed up 1.4Tb of data. I can read the log and can see that everything seems ok. But, The tapes in the drive haven't been renamed and have kept their previous name (which was erased). Has Brightstor (11.5 by the way) gone...

Its Brightstor Arcserve 11.5 for Windows

Does anyone know why it takes so long for Brightstor to connect to an external server (otherside of firewall). I know it has to get through other security features but why on earth is it at least 1 minute when an internal server is 2 seconds ?? Any ideas to try ? Cheers Scott

Hi, I have a 1.4TB offsite storage facility which I throw critical SQL databases and other stuff to every night. Now this storage is starting to fill up - my question is : I know that I can prune my database of information but how can I prune the storage area when I don't see any physical...

Hi all, quick query for you all. Got a new Dell and put my oldish firewire card into it for my SONY camcorder (to use with AVID editing software). When I plug the camcorder into the firewire card it makes the 'connected' noise and then straight away gets the 'disconnect' noise. So it knows it...

Hi all, Just a quick question about file system backups. I am planning on doing my INC (mon-thur)backups to File Store and my FULL (fri) backups to tape. The tape bit will not be a problem....but how do I setup the INC backup to create a new backup set each day rather than trying to format the...

Hi, I'm looking to put a scrolling banner on one of my forms which shows data that has been added on that day. Basically its a helpdesk program and I want the most recent (todays) faults to scroll at the top so that engineers can spot urgent ones. Can the scroller have data from different...

Hi, I am currently backing up 1.3Tb of data (so the end of my weekend backup tells me), and its using 10 LTO tapes (which 1s 100Gb native and 200Mb compressed). Am I missing something here?? - surely i should be using much less than 10 tapes. Any ideas Hardware compression, software...
