When we were looking at it a while back, I understood that for each client you
threw at it, it would store a non-deduped initial base image of that client
and dedupe around it, as opposed to deduping everything including base images

Is that still the case?

My experience has been that they didn’t have the vmware tools installed, so
vcenter couldn’t grab the guest’s hostname and ip address.
Not sure if that’s the case with yours, but you may want to double-check that.

If so, is there anything installed on your media servers (besides the license

I'm interested in that option, but our primary SAN vendor isn't one listed on

Thanks to the folks that commented on EMC's Avamar, it was helpful.

ZIMMER, RANDY K [AG/1000]
It's been a while for me doing Oracle recoveries, but based on the error below,
I thought that the Oracle instance has to be up in either a startup mount or
startup nomount mode where it's not really running, but mounted enough to

I use this to grab my LTO3 media that aren't already in an autoloader:

The way I like to do it is ignore the FRAG lines, as I'm usually only

that should print out the backup/image id

Make sure you have the X11 Trusted set right. I was getting a white

until this was set. My ~/.ssh/config looks something like:
Host netbackup-server-hostname
Compression yes
ForwardX11 yes

Or for that matter, OES/Linux.
It'd be really nice to *at least* run media servers w/ OES, so cluster
