RE: UniVerse and Backup Exec
snip Excellent write up Tom. This is a keeper email. Thanks, -Doug snip Yes, Tom. The Windows SharedSection registry tweak write-up was great. I apologize for neglecting to acknowledge it sooner!

RE: UniVerse and Backup Exec
First of all, thanks to all who have replied to my post! I'm attempting to combine all replies in this one e-mail. A couple people mentioned alternate backup methods. One was to do a uvbackup and run Backup Exec and the other was to backup remotely. Since IBM does not want Backup Exec to exist on my server, the remote backup might be a solution. IBM suggested this but that presents some bridges that I don't want to cross if I don't have to. After reading Dennis' post I'm counting my blessing that my server is not crashing. I am losing some RF users, however, and I have been wondering if that problem was somehow related. For now, I have put a logout program in place to resolve the dead user the next time the RF user logs on. We did have a crash problem when on NT 4.0. Vmark (I think...or maybe Ardent) had us remove ArcServe and use NTBackup and that resolved the problem. Dennis also mentioned a registry tweak. I'm guessing that possibly this is contained in the tech tip that Steve posted. My tech support is through Epicor so I will press them a little more on whether/how this tip applies to Win2K. Mark mentioned that we should use an OFM (open file manager) with Backup Exec. We use the Advanced Open File Option which is a companion product for Backup Exec. Wol (Anthony?) asked if I'm backing up the UV account. I am not. I'm just backing up user accounts and some additional shared databases that exist on the same drive. The whole backup takes less than 45 minutes as compared to about 6 hours on my old server. I appreciate all the help everyone has offered. I now have some new avenues to explore! Thank you!

RE: UNCLASSIFIED [UV] System Error Message 100102
snip System Error Message 100102 get_expbuf: illegal level 0, current level 0. appearing in the UV ERRLOG. snip UV 10.0.15 on Windows 2003 Server snip Mike, I can't tell you what your error means but I just noticed your version. We had some problems implementing this version of UniVerse on Win2000 server. We were told we should not go 'live' with it and we moved up to 10.0.17. There was some list discussion on this release a while back and someone said UV 10.0.15 was something that should have never made it out to the field. Maybe someone out there will know whether the version is connected to your error message or whether a UV upgrade would fix the problem.

UniVerse and Backup Exec
I am running: UniVerse 10.0.17 Windows 2000 SP 4 Veritas Backup Exec: Media Server Admin. Console: Ver 9.00 Rev 4454 My Application Event Log has been showing an unusually high number of UniVerse errors. Since I am an end user I can't go directly to IBM and must go through my VAR. I placed a call with my VAR and sent them a text copy of my application event log. The response was that IBM said I should uninstall Backup Exec because they have had 250 calls where the problem with UniVerse was resolved after removing Veritas Backup Exec. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place now. IBM says I should uninstall my backup software. The administrator that is responsible for backup systems for our corporation is resistant to allowing me to do this, however. He says that we will not uninstall Backup Exec unless IBM can tell us specifically what the incompatibility is between it and UniVerse. The main reasons for his stance are that the event log errors are all labeled UniVerse errors (none are labeled as Backup Exec errors) and the errors occur around the clock, not just when Backup Exec is running. I had asked my VAR to request specifics regarding the incompatibility issue from IBM but either they or IBM must have figured that the numbers spoke for themselves because I was not given a reason. (or possibly they don't know the reason) Can anyone out there help me? Does anybody know what the incompatibilities are between Veritas Backup Exec and UniVerse? I tend to lean towards following IBM's recommendations but just in case... Has anyone found a way to run the two where application event errors do not occur? I also requested a recommendation of other backup software from them and was not given one. If anyone has a recommendation of UV compatible backup software that I can run on Windows, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer! Gwen Buck Gaska Tape Inc.
