You don't say what data is on the BCVs. There are/were scripts that would stop a database, split the BCV, start the database, then mount the BCV on a media server so that it could be backed up as a file system. This required, if I remember correctly, VxFS and VxVM as well as the EMC symmetric

We have such scripts originally written for EMC BCV. We also have adapted them to do Hitachi Shadow Image which is a similar technology. They do use VxVM and VxFS commands and run on HP-UX. They could probably be adapted to Solaris so long as it was running VxVM/VxFS as well. The key

I have cleaned up some of our DNS problems, although they were not the clients in question, and will see how it goes tonight. It also turns out that the medias servers had files dns in /etc/nsswitch.conf whereas the master had dns host. I've changed the master to match. They also changed the NIC

Two questions for you: 1) Do/Would you use synthetic fulls (Syncsort does incrementals forever)? 2) Do your clients have the horsepower to handle source side deduplication? We could not move as there are some legacy systems they do not fully support in our environment. Ken

Ouch, having an Oracle database without a DBA is like having NetBackup without anyone that knows NetBackup. There are several ways to do backups of Oracle databases. These include - Cold, full. You take down the database and backup all associated disk space (data, redolog, and perhaps

Patrick, What network do your NetBackup servers use for inter-server communication? Is it a shared backup network or is it a dedicated network? Either way, see how much bandwidth is being used. You mentioned you set the NIC on the master to 1GB. If that wasn’t running at 1G, it is quite
