Restoring LARGE server

2009-12-09 Thread Zoltan Forray/AC/VCU
Trying to restore a LARGE Windows server. Over 40M objects. Client is 6.1 As you can imagine, we have had to use the journal as well as MEMORYEFFICIENT to perform backups. If I read correctly, MEMORYEFFICIENT is ONLY for backups. Obviously the journal is of no value since the restore is to a

Zoltan - Your posting provides no information about the Windows system. A large server should be 64-bit, where one would expect the 64-bit client to easily handle the task. (If it's a 32-bit Windows, that's a bad choice on the part of the Windows administrators - one of those plan-ahead

Great analysis. Thanks! I have a hard time imagining how file-based restores could be faster than image-based restores. File restores have to create each of the 300,000 files, right? and file-create, during restore, is a lot slower than file-open, during backup. But I guess if you have a lot

Zoltan, Have you attempted a Point in Time restore from command line? That might help with the number of inactive files you are experiencing. If that is not an option, you may have to go a couple directories at a time. I have only had experience restoring up to 9M files and the one time I did it

I don't know about the original server but since it is handling so many files and terabytes of storage, I would assume 64-bit. As for the server I am restoring to, it is a W2K3SP2 Enterprise Edition quad-core but am assuming 32-bit since it doesn't say 64-bit. Either way, I can't change this

How about using just the CLI and the no-query restore option? thanks! lisa -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Ochs, Duane Sent: Wednesday, December 09, 2009 9:57 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re:

I am restoring 2-drives (F: and G:) with 27M and 22M objects and 900G and 700G, respectively. Since the F: was going to be so problematic, I decided to start the G: last night at 11:30pm since I can run NQR/unattended. So far as of this writing, it has restored 15M/250GB. Not sure if the PIT

You can also modify dynamic memory to help with the memory issue. It does require a reboot to implement, but it has worked great for a bunch of our larger 32bit servers. Here is the Microsoft article. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304101 -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor

Del and/or Andy can probably answer this, hopefully in a way that a non-hardware/OS person, like me, can understand. Our hardware guy upgraded a driver on my 6 AIX boxen. As a result, my thruput went to hell, with backups running, not at Kb/s, but bits/s. But not on clients with the MSSQL or

TSM Client 6.1.2 and TDP for SQL 5.5.2.1

Hello Everybody, I would like to share next information. I think it can be interesting for those who put fingers into TSM Client 6.1.2 already. If upgrade TSM Client 5.5.X/6.1.0.X to 6.1.2.0 is required on server with TDP for SQL 5.5.2.1 only next sequence of actions leads to working
