[Veritas-bu] Expired Backup ID Doesn't Free Up Some Space

I knew someone would pull out some niche backup product from some tiny vendor to hit me in the head with:-) This is the last I thing I will add to the discussion, as it is a bit off-topic, but for my own curiosity... Dean, are you talking about reclaim? Because I don't think that is ex

[Veritas-bu] poll: checkpoint restart

2010-09-29 Thread Justin Piszcz
Hi, I was curious, as backups get larger and larger, how many out there are using checkpoint restart (yes I know it slows down the backups a bit) but it saves a lot of time having to start a 2-8TB backup again from scratch if something goes wrong (network issue or otherwise). Is it becoming mo

Use it all the time !!! 180 Mins I set for our larger TB's ones. Each to their own, but I think I would rather have a checkpoint that a restart from scratch ! S. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behal

We break our large datasets into multiple streams and restart that way. It's much easier for me to say to an app group "all of the backups finished except /lun7 and I'm rerunning that now" than "The backup is 80% complete and we're rerunning it from wherever it failed." For backups that run 48 hour

We break our larger backups into 3-4 streams but still use checkpointing on those streams as well. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Martin, Jonathan Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2010 10:15 A

Justin, We use it and many of our backups are between 4TB and 90TB, so a restart at the 50TB point is a big plus for us. Checkpointing has been a good option for us and here, it means a lot because we are backing up right at 5PB per month. Thank You, Dennis Peacock EBCA Acxiom Corporation 501-342

We break ours up. If I have one very large drive that I also need to break up I will create a policy just for that server. I might have C:\ E:\ F:\ - but this is the big one so for F I do A new stream for f:\ with anything starting with a 0 -9 Then new stream And f for anything starting with a -

Hi All It appears I have hit a snag with FlashBackups and the HP EVA6400 that majority of our servers have SAN disks connect to. Firstly, does anyone use FlashBackups and EVA6400 Enterprise Array systems? It appears that when doing FlashBackups, they are 10 times slower than SAN Based Backups.

Re: [Veritas-bu] VTL Recommendations

2010-09-29 Thread neil conner
One use for VTLs are NDMP backups, which can be written directly and thus bypass the media server. You can send NDMP backups to an OST device, but not without going through a media server first. Depending on how much data you have, that might mean additional media server(s) and a dedicate

Neil, True for the likes of say Quantum you can NDMP direct to tape, and that is a cool feature. I however dont see much issue going through a media server these days as fast as media servers are, and forget VTL, just use disk built into and accessible to NBU! +--
