Re: [Veritas-bu] Looking for suggestions vaulting/duplication-related

2008-03-07 Thread Marianu, Jonathan
Nathan, Are you using RMAN to back up the database. There are many settings available to optimize RMAN-nbu disk to disk backup. Consider using a vault profile or running a script that: -displays all images created on a client in the last n hours. -that list is passed as an argument to bpduplicat

I'm glad you posted that you are on Win2K3, SP whatever. My first thought was to tell you about VSS until I saw you were on Win2K. Yes, I have been fighting a vicious VSS memory leak for over 18 months on Win2K3 SP1 and SP2. This pertained to file serving, not backups per say, but backups do

Since Stuart is soliciting feedback from his former co-workers...: We do have VTLs in our environment, and a rather complex setup. I'm not sure if our environment would qualify as any "best practices", however. We're on NetBackup 5.1, Solaris master, 4 Linux media servers, 4 Windows media serve

RMAN to disk does work But what about sbtinit? Is that a netbackup piece? Where is sbtinit called from? When RMAN does a disk job, it is basically a disk dump. All SBT functions are not used. -- Mike -Original Message- From: Kevin Whittaker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday,

Excellent point and one that I had thought of. I went back and looked at my email and I had a typo; the OS is W2K3 SP1 (problem box) and W2K3 SP2 (master). But that is something I have been toying with. Do you happen to know if there were any "fixes" to the VSS/WMI process in SP2? Another quest
