I'm getting ready to start this upgrade early tomorrow morning and I had
a couple of last minute questions.
1.Anyone have an idea of how long it's going to take to recover a
350GB NBU 6.0 catalog backup from LTO2 tape?
2.I'm shutting down the old server and bringing up a new one with
the
I ran a backup of my catalog on my old Master and saved it to the E:
drive. Now I'm trying to recover the catalog on the new Master (same
name) but it was taking too long to copy the catalog backup over to the
new server. I ran the backup to disk on the old server. When I start
the recovery,
not get updated with a catalog recovery. And for
reference, a 320GB catalog took 5 hours to recover from a disk based
backup.
Thanks again, if you're ever in the neighborhood stop by for some Texas
bar-b-q, my treat.

Has anyone experienced slower backups after the 6.0 MP5 to 6.5.2
upgrade? All Windows clients are still running 6.0 MP5 and in most
cases, backups are taking twice as long as before. I have been getting
numerous 196's every morning since the upgrade last week. Will

I know what the PBX service does but when my Exchange admin saw it on his box,
he got worried. The PBX service also seems to be cluster aware and that made
him even more nervous. He’s asking if the service can be removed?
Is there any extra load on the client or any reason the service

I recently started getting multiple Status 58s when ever a server gets

Hi Kids,
I have a Windows environment and NBU 6.5.2a. I have a SAN Media Server
that houses and backs up my SQL dumps. Those backups run the longest

decided to have the SQL dumps write directly to the NetApp device and
