Re: [Veritas-bu] mystery directory showing up - %SysTrustDir%

2008-04-21 Thread Tharp, Trey
We've been battling this same issue since upgrading to 6.5.1 on our masters. The VRTSat package is related to this and it's not sure if that package is creating the directory or NBU processes are. Some things of note so far is that the '/var/VRTSat/.VRTSat/profile/VRTSatlocal.conf' file is being

Short answer = SnapMirror, then backup that mirror filer for days/weeks if you need to. Once your initial mirror is done, it's only the block-level changes from that point. Also, if you are using NDMP direct backups, where the filer has tape connectivity, then synthetic backups are not available.

There's no way to do this in CMD/BATCH scripting that I am aware of. As a result, I created a .VBS and used LCase to turn the variable into lower case characters. Someone else on this list might know of a way to do it within CMB/BATCH by possibly calling an external command or something, but the

What if I NDMP to a DSU on a NetBackup Media server? Is that still unavailable for synths? With SnapMirror, I believe that requires us investing more money with NetApp. Thanks, Jim --- Tharp, Trey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Short answer = SnapMirror, then backup that mirror filer for

NDMP is not horrible, but I would agree that SnapMirror is the best alternative at these sizes. We have 2 GB FC connects to VTLs enabled with NDMP drives for filers and we have seen 3 TB volumes backup in hours via NDMP compared to 4-5 days via CIFS...now that is a horrible protocol... The

Thanks. I had read it might become avail in 6.5, but realize that information is now probably bogus. I am kind of wishing there was a tighter integration between what the NetApp has built-in for creating its snapshots and a receptor on the NBU side. --Jim --- A Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED]
