Exabyte M2 - lock up your daughters!
I just installed an external Exabyte M2 tape drive on my backup server. Holy mother of Elvis, does this thing smoke. 400 MB/min thruput on local volumes, up to 300 MB/min over the network. In case you're looking to spend a big wad of money on a tape backup system, consider this one. (Backup server = blue G3/300 with Adaptec 2940UW scsi host on switched 100 Mbps ethernet. Your mileage may vary. Talk to your doctor). top of the world, Luke Jaeger, Technology Coordinator Disney Magazine Publishing Northampton, Massachusetts [EMAIL PROTECTED] Any opinions expressed in this message are my own and may not represent the opinions of Disney Publishing, etc etc etc. * -- -- To subscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives:http://list.working-dogs.com/lists/retro-talk/ Problems?: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Media Full Before It's Time
In the last couple of days I've seen two installation where backups fail because Retrospect wants another media. Even though the tape or disk weren't full, the Summary window for the Backup Set said "Appending requires another member". In one case we were backing up to Onstream ADR tapes. The tape only had about 3.5GB on it, and it holds about 15 GB. The other was a Orb Disk using Retrospect Express. It also was _way_ below capacity. In at least one case I know the media wasn't marked missing. I'm not sure about the second case. Any ideas what's happening?
