    DFS

    Everything I've read about DFS mentions two distinct set of files, with DFS providing (through domain roots on multiple servers) a failover capacity. Can I do the following - Two servers, one 2008 the other 2003. NAS with folders/files. Create - Domain root with 'namespace node/root' folders...

    Backup to tape from NAS

    Using Backup Exec 12.5 all latest patches etc and an LTO2 directly attached to the Media Server. Running Windows 2008 x64 (not R2) on a 2008 SQL Express database. Looking at getting a NAS, probably either Netgear or QNAP. QNAP doesn't have the RALUS agent for x64, but Netgear does. So a) Use...

    Upgrading to 12.1

    Currently running 11.5. I do not want to upgrade certain clients on the backed up servers but I am unable to deselect these during the upgrade process. I can add additional clients but the currently installed clients cannot be deselected, the green box has a red border around it. Basically I...

    Couple of questions

    Using r12.5 SP4 on Windows 2003 SP2. a) Do I need BAOF installed on servers that run Windows 2003? I am under the impression you can use VSS to back up in use files. b) Disaster Recovery Option - Does this cover all servers or just the main one? Thanks.

    Archive bit

    Few miscellaneous questions -

    .aas files, GPO's and software installation.

    Took over a network. The previous guy had setup automatic software installations using GPOs. Unfortuneately the server that all the software had resided on has gone. Can I directly edit the .aas files which specify the softwares location and put in the new server, or do I have to recreate the...

    Someone please explain compression!!!

    OK have an 80/160 tape so I assumed it was a 80Gb native/160Gb compressed. Here's what I dont get - just backed up 167Gb to it and it says these 90Mb left. Tried restoring files from the start and the end of the sessions, both are there. So I take it the 160Gb compressed could mean that say if...

    Exclusion filters

    Cant make heads nor tails of this! I want to exclude a folder on a remote machine using the Windows Backup to connect. Do I use an absolute path from the backup manager as the folder isn't shared? e.g. would it be d:\my software Also as there is a space in the folder name would I use quotes...

    What Windows SP?

    Got new servers in and I am re-doing Arcserve 2000 (with SP5), and also adding an Exabyte VXA-2. What level of Windows SP do I need? I hope I am right in thinking I don't need the tpae library option as the VXA-2 has only one drive? Is there a link to Arcserve 2000 updates anymore? Thanks

    Autoloaders

    Boss is getting an Exobyte autoloader, 7 trays, 1 tape drive. Got a few questions if any of you have a few spare minutes. 1) Will we need the library backup client? 2) Do I still assign the tapes to Media Pools? 3) If so can I assign different numbers of tapes, i.e. 1 on a Monday, 2 on a Tuesday...

    Delivery is weird

    Set up exchange and OWA. Whenever I send an email to my account lets say anyone@thismx.com and then I go to another P.C. to access it, it does not arrive on that acccount rather on my ISP's email account e.g. anyone@theirmx.com. Any ideas? Thanks

    If I use this to backup instead of the network icon will it still backup Oracle databases using the Oracle Client? Thanks

    Backup Wizard

    Is there anyway of telling ArcServe to overwrite instead of append when using the backup wizard WITHOUT using media pools?
