[Veritas-bu] SSO configuration
Our new sun sl500 robot will contain 5 fiber connected tape drives along with it's own fiber connection. Currently we have four sun/solaris servers connected to the emc san one of these is our master/media server Our goal is to setup two of these as san media servers. Do we need dedicated hba's on the media and master servers for the connection to the robot or can we use the existing hba's that are used for the san. We are still searching the manuals for the correct config. Scott Deiter System Administrator Hanover Direct, Inc.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Only getting 125GB on LTO2 Tape
I tell my management that anything more than the tape's native capacity is gravy. You are not even getting that. So far my LTO3 compression has been closer to 50% than the 100% the drives are advertised at. Backing up mostly Oracle/RMAN Databases thus far and I'm getting just better than 600GB a tape. Your 125GB looks closer to LTO1 than LTO2. Perhaps a driver issue? Can you put a tape manually in the drive and run test backups to it sans-Netbackup? How about putting a tape in and running some sort of drive management suite from the manufacturer to see what it says? You should AT LEAST get 200GB on an LTO2 tape. That's 1:1 native capacity! -J From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 08, 2007 10:01 AM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Only getting 125GB on LTO2 Tape I'm having a case of the Mondays.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup Encryption
Hi Len, Thank you for your response. Btw, what will be the approximate cost for Netbackup encryption license per client. Regards, Pondy On 1/5/07, Len Boyle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Good Day Pondy I did not notice any change between netbackup 5 and 6 in performance for the encryption option. The encryption option uses large quantities of cpu on the client. If you have a client with plenty of spare cpu, you should see no difference in the backup speeds. But you will lose compression of the data at the tape drive if you are using the tape hardware to compress your data. We have not tried software compression with the software encryption option. If your client has little or no spare cpu cycles, you will see a slow down in the backup speeds. There is almost no management of the encryption keys with the netbackup encryption feature. You have to make sure that if you want to restore data to a client, that the key that was used to encrypt the data is installed on the client. So if you have data from client A from nov last year and want to restore it to client B. And you have data from client C from last jan that you want to restore to client B. And you have data from client B from yesterday that you want to restore to client B. You must have a keyfile with keys that match all three sets of data. Note- as far as I know there is only one active keyfile on the client and no way to tell netbackup to look at more then one keyfile when search for a matching key for a restore. If this morning you had changed the key on client B and you plan to do a backup on client B using the new key, you must make sure that this new key is the correct position in the keyfile. As the first key is the one used for backups. Unless your keyfiles for the different clients are all the same [And you can do this by maintaining a keyfile on one client and copying it to other clients] you must either do all the restores with a different keyfile installed on the client, or build a new keyfile with all the keys installed. With the current key installed last, even if it was already installed in the keyfile. len -- *From:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *Pondy p *Sent:* Friday, January 05, 2007 6:40 AM *To:* veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu *Subject:* [Veritas-bu] NetBackup Encryption Hello, We are looking to implement NetBackup Encryption in our setup.

[Veritas-bu] Backing Up Exchange - Transaction Logs
We've been backing up our Exchange 2K3 server for a while with NBU. Sometime during last December, something happened that caused Exchange to stop truncating the transaction log files. Our initial suspicion was that the Exchange DB was dirty or inconsistent. We've restored a full db backup to a Recovery Storage Group from 1/5. It's clean. So now, though not definite, a dirty db doesn't look to be the case. Anyone else seen something like this before? Suggestions from the NBU end? We pursued this on the Exchange end so far, and still are.
