I'll have to disagree with Curtis for once. I'm on the side of commercial schedulers though I wouldn't say NBU (or backups in general) is the main or even a good reason to buy one. The main reason to buy one is that there are typically many things you want to do in automated fashion and across

SSO is the same. No assigning specific drive. Your solution is correct, build two storage units, one with one drive count, the other with two. For your daily schedule, use the 1-drive STU, for your weekly use the 2-drive STU name. -M -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

We use this wild card in our backup selection /vmfs/volumes/[a-zA-Z]*/*/*.vmx to backup just the vmx files from a single ESX host. In troubleshooting why I received this error, I learned that between the backup window for the ESX client, an engineer deleted the original VM (DCTZIQPVIEW02) and

Early on here we got 6 errors for RMAN jobs but were NOT using a scheduling tool. In almost every case the issue with RMAN seems to be a misunderstanding by the DBAs how to use RMAN. Sometimes it is obvious (e.g. they don't use right policy name, schedule or host name) and you'll see it in

Your pattern shouldn't have matched the old path or the new path /vmfs/volumes/ on both and explicit in your selection so matches the literal. QAVOL4/DCTZIQPVIEW02/ (old) and QAVOL3/DCTZIQPVIEW02/ (new) would match your [a-zA-Z]*/ The DCTZIQPVIEW02.vmx at end would be matched by the *
