Sharepoint backup strategies
Folks, We are in the process of putting Sharepoint in and I'm looking at how exactly I should be backing the system up. I see that IBM no longer bundles the Sharepoint TDP, so we have to go out and purchase licenses from Avepoint. Is that TDP client required? Sharepoint is essentially an SQL system, so is the TDP for SQL Server sufficient? For those of you that use the DocAve product, what advantages does it provide over a straight SQL backup? Thanks! __ Matthew McGeary Senior Technical Specialist - Infrastructure PotashCorp T: (306) 933-8921 www.potashcorp.com
autodeploy of 7.1.6 client updates fails
Hi all, I'm trying to deploy 7.1.6 client updates on Linux and Windows boxes using the autodeploy packages from the FTP site. Unfortunately, without success on both platforms (while I succeed to deploy 7.1.4 or earlier versions on the same boxes). On Windows, it fails on extracting installation image for Backup-archive client : only a few folders and files are extracted. Manual extraction from the same packages retrieved from the server works fine. On Linux, it fails on running updatemgr : no updatemgr process is running and the mutex file is left behind. A successfull workaroung is to release the lock (./updatemgr/managemutex Release) and manualy re-run the deployclient .sh script (./deployclient.sh). -- Best regards / Cordialement / مع تحياتي Erwann SIMON
