We have a number of STK L700 libraries, hosting various LTO1 and 2 drives (according to location and age of install). These are either SCSI or FC connected, again depending upon age. We use Netbackup 4.5 MP6 currently. We have followed advice and set our netbackup storage units to have a...
We have moved from OTM to VSP recently (in fact, we had OTM disabled on servers with large volumes of data as it was too slow and unreliable so Veritas told us a move to VSP would be the way forward). Since deploying VSP, we have had a number of NTFS corruptions reported (could be a...
Since we have applied MP6 to our Netbackup 4.5 Datacentre installation, the backup jobs on the primary file server have failed, and reported that the filestore is corrupt (ntfs error 55 in event logs). Each time, we can fix with chkdsk but whenever netbackup goes near the partition, it happens...
I have a problem with media in my environment. I am receiving lots of errors of the form "Media Manager could not deassign media id , retaining it in netbackup database" followed by "Media Manager error 8, invalid media id, host = <srv name>" and the media list report for the affected server...
We run a number of large sites with NB4.5 (MP5) using SSO to control a number of LTO drives in storagetek L700 libraries, and I am trying to understand the relationship bewteen the robot drive number, the drive index and the drive path; I had long assumed that the drive index was the same as the...
Is it possible to drive an LTO1 or 2 drive on W2K just using ntbackup ? If so, are there any MS drivers yet, or must one use the drive manufacturers drivers ?
I know that the obvious answer is "don't do it; use a proper backup tool", but the question has to be asked anyway ! Can ntbackup and removable storage management on W2K be used with an IBM LTO2 ? I know it is not the optimum combo, but somebody doesn't want to spend £$£$£ on a...
We have 1200+ servers running arcserve6.61 and 7 with various options and agents (all self-contained servers with local tape devices), and are concious that the products go out of support before the current system is made obselete and closed down. So, are we likely to find the upgrade to...
I am testing the use of backupexec v9 IDR option in conjunction with the HP One Button Disaster Recovery Support and have run into a problem with my boot-from-tape recovery. I am able to create the bootable tape image, write it to tape, boot from the tape and start a restore, which performs ok...
I often have to use robtest to release tapes from drives etc., and occasionally it gets hung-up. Any attempt to exit from it anything other than cleanly result in tldtest running, and holding onto the device, and yet it seems to be unkillable by anything other than a reboot. (W2K/NB341)...
I am stuck trying to use cazipxp.exe to uncompress a patch. I have followed all of the CA website instructions, and downloaded the .CAZ file a number of times, via IE and FTP, but it will not open. Patch is L098929.CAZ. Error is
