Re: [Veritas-bu] Exchange 2010 daily fulls vs incrementals
I have not seen anything, but have not really looked/asked either. We run daily fulls and will as long as we can reliably and cost effectively do so. Ken From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Stafford, Geoff Sent: Friday, February 10, 2012 10:03 AM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Exchange 2010 daily fulls vs incrementals I'm just wondering how many people out there are still running daily fulls on Exchange? For years I've always heard that it was Microsoft's best demonstrated practice so we have done it and I'm sure we aren't alone. I've been trying to find some updated documentation from Microsoft of whether that is still their recommendation but I'm coming up empty. My Exchange guys are pushing back a little on moving from daily fulls to weekly fulls and daily incrementals. Tl;dr So my questions are 1) has anyone seen an official recommendation from MS or Symantec on Exchange fulls vs incr 2) any gotchas with restoring from incrementals 3) are most of you still running daily fulls?

Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 7.0.1 restore
Only the first restore to lay the data down should require this effort. After that time you should be using NDMP for the backups in which case all subsequent restores should be direct via NDMP.

Then if you really need this the items to look at are STREAM_COUNT and STREAM_NUMBER.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Question about media server OS - Solaris on x86?
We run a combination of Solaris x86, Sparc and Red Hat media servers. We use Sparc where our production servers are Sparc as it allows us to perform snapshots and mount them on the media servers for off-host backups. We use Solaris x86 on a Sun/Oracle X4500 server using ZFS (box has 48 SATA drives and 6 PCI buses); we tried RH on this box, but Solaris w/ ZFS is 3x faster - 220MB/sec+ sustained over trunked network ports. We then use RH where we either have less data or need less performance for backups as it helps keep costs down.

We 'engineered' - as in wrote the required internal docs - for Solaris x86 a few years back. We found no internal users wanting it. If their s/w was ported to x86 it was to Windows or Linux, not Solaris. We dropped support. BUT I read on this group of people who converted their RHEL media servers to Solaris x86 just to use ZFS and got a big performance boost compared to staging to EXT3. So it does depend on what you need. What I would say since Ora¢le took over is to check carefully the ¢ost. It is emphatically not the same as Sun according to others on the Sun Managers group. Another aspect is your in-house knowledge; we have a number of staff with many years Solaris knowledge and a few staff with a few years RHEL knowledge; that delta has a cost. You have to weigh these up. I would also be interested to see what others on this forum who are Sun SPARC users think about the future.

Re: [Veritas-bu] VM Master / Media Servers
That is a shame as this is a great opportunity for Disaster Recovery. It would be very easy to have a media server at the DR location and use a virtual machine for the master server on the same physical box as the media server. We are looking to do this using a Solaris Container with async replication of our catalog so that it is up to date in the event of a disaster, but no dedicated standby server is required. It may not be supported, but we think it will work and hope to test it this year. This idea could be done with VM Ware (vm server/vm player), Virtual Iron, Virtual Box, HP VM's, Solaris Containers, Solaris LDOMs, etc. Ken -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Curtis Preston Sent: Saturday, May 24, 2008 1:13 AM To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] VM Master / Media Servers Because many people use their master server as a media server.
