[Veritas-bu] Netbackup NDMP Configuration
I am working at a site that has 4 LTO tape drives shared between a Netbackup Master server and 1 media server (SSO option). They also have a Netapp Filer. It appears the vendors have made an attempt to share 2 of the 4 LTO drives with the filer as well over NDMP. Can anyone shed some light on whether or not this configuration works? Currently all jobs are still queuing even when a drive is available. The Netbackup speeds are as slow as 2mb/sec all backups (NDMP and non-NDMP Jobs). In the past, NDMP drives were dedicated to the SAN can only be used to backup the SAN. I have research this and cannot find any documentation supporting this information. Yet some consultants and sales says it should work. Environment: Veritas Netbackup 6.5 Windows 2008 64 bit Master Server and Media Netapp Filer Ontap 7.3.2 IBM System Storage TS3500 Tape Library All devices are connect via cisco fiber switch Thanks David Turner ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
[Veritas-bu] Storage Unit
I am looking for a storage unit basically a NAS device that supports cifs, iscsi, and nfs. This device also must support FC. I need about 20TB. The plan is to backup archive data to this device. Data that hasn't been touched in 2-5yrs and then send the archive data to tape. Currently we are looking at the Overland Storage Snap Server 620. The only problem is it doesn't supports FC only LVD Scsi tape drives. Any suggestions or recommended products is appreciated.

[Veritas-bu] SL500 vs i500
I am planning to purchase a Tape Library soon and have narrowed the selection down to the SUN/STK SL500 and the Quantum i500 both with LTO drives connected via FC. I currently have a STK L80 and a Windows Master that will be upgraded to Netbackup 6.5 from 5.x. Objective: I am looking for something that is scalable (we can start with 6 drives and scale up as needed). A product that the vendor is committed too meaning the End of Life date isn't around the corner. A library that will last 3 to 5yrs. thanks ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
Re: [Veritas-bu] SSO Option for LTO3 drives
If I dedicate 2 drives to the Netapp and have the zoning setup properly
will the media servers use those drives for regular backups as well?

Steve,
OK- I forgot about one of the key elements: the NDMP backups do actually
run through the media servers via Remote NDMP. They are still using
NDMP, but our solaris/windows media servers handle the tape drives for
them.
Sorry for the misinformation- the devil is in the details.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] SSO Option for LTO3 drives
I'll chime in here for SSO too- if you have it, then zoning drives to
only one host is pointless and silly.
We are using 3 media servers and 2 NetApp appliances attached to 6
LTO3
drives (soon to be 8 ) on a StorageTek l700 with SSO. All media
servers
can use all tape drives as can the NetApps over NDMP. Running 6.5.3.1
(Netapps are at DOT 7.3.1) and it works very well. We have some
occasional quirks with SSO when drives have issues, but it's more than
offset by the efficiencies we gain.
If you already own SSO- use it. It has some quirks as others
describe,
but you'll probably find you get much better utilization out of your
drives.

As you can see I am all confused and would love for someone to

Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup lun Restore
We are running Netbackup 6.5 (Not 6.0) We have sql and exchange db attached to Netapp filers (3070 clusters) via iscsi. Currently we back up the dbs using snapmanager for Sql and snapmanager for exchange. After the dbs are backed up, the snapmanager products replicate the backup jobs to a 3rd Netapp filer for disk staging and then sent to tape. In order to restore the databases or a single mail message, we have to first mount the replicated snapshot on a server and then use one of the snapmanager products for the restore. The snapmanager products will list the files and individual items stored in the lun and give the option to restore a single file or the entire lun. Since the data on the 3rd Netapp filer is backed up to tape using NDMP we can eliminate step 2. But only if netbackup can list the files and individual items stored in the lun. Hopefully this makes sense.

[Veritas-bu] How to add 125TB of data to the backup environment
Hey Guys I am fighting with management on the cost and best method to back up 125TB of new data in my environment. I am running Netbackup 6.5 in a windows environment with 4 media servers. I am currently backing up 53TB mostly to disk first then using an old L180 with 10 SDLT220 drives to duplicate and send the data offsite. I have a request from other departments that we need to back up an additional 125TB of data and send the data offsite. I proposed a new tape library but management wants to know if this data can be replicated or is there some other way to get this data offsite that may be cheaper than the cost of a SL8500 Tape Library in the low $300K range. So I am interested in hearing from Administrators who are responsible for large environments etc. What method are you using to store your data offsite?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Backup desktops Laptops
Title: Message I tried to explain a similar point to management but there is a push to back up the OS applications for each user (I have no idea why). I really think we should just purchase Enterprise Vault and archive all files including pst files to another location. We have the Ghost image technology in place but our home directory servers are maxed out no one wants to spend the money for new server or for disk drives on the Netapp. My rep recommended DLO instead of Symantec PureDisk but I just found out that DLO doesnt back up the OS.
