Greetings Paul, OK, I guess I mis-interpreted your question, apoligies. My initial thoughts are that you could set up a different DNS name for each interface on the media server. Then create a different storage unit that refers to each Media server name, and have that storage unit refer to

We just incorporated a new STK 8500 in our Netbackup environment. We have an AIX 5.3 master running Netbackup 6.0 MP4. After completing the nights backups we use Vault Management with Netbackup to duplicate our data and send tapes off-site. As part of the 8500 we just implemented an 7.2 ACSLS

Hi List, We are considering using the working.Dir parameter to have VMWare place snapshots on a different LUN (on the SAN). We do not have space available on our guests' LUNs for snapshots. We will also use the sched.swap.dir parameter to keep the vswp files on the same LUN that guests' vmdk

WOW Now that's a big upgrade, hope you aren't planning to do this all in one day. Plus what would worry me is that you are doing all those upgrades on a VM without actually being able to verify if anything even works Why not just upgrade current system to 4.5, setup the new hardware with

If you are using NTFS then you size must be less than about 50GB. NTFS files larger than that would error in Netbackup on my original testing. I'm currently using 10GB for my fragment sizes but I haven't done any performance testing related to other fragment sizes. -Jonathan -Original

Be afraid. Be very afraid. First, don't violate one of the sacred laws of upgrading: don't upgrade more than one thing at a time. You can upgrade your hardware, your OS your backup software. But for goodness sake, don't do them at the same time I agree with Jared. I really don't

I no longer use a fragment size...it is set to 0. This was recommended by veritas since all new tape drives can position to location within a fragment (can't remember what that is called...). The fragment size is a throw back to when tape drives could only position to a file marker. I had to
