[Veritas-bu] per-directory policies a la NetWorker?

2010-04-06 Thread David Magda
NetWorker has a feature where you can put a ".nsr" file in a directory, and then during backup it's contents will be parse so that you can treat particular files or directories in a special way. An example from the man page: > Having a /usr/src/.nsr file containing: > +skip: errs *.o >

Isn't Greenplum's database based on PostgresSQL? If so, while not officially supported by NBU, whatever you can find online with regards to that you can probably leverage: post- and pre- scripts as mentioned, but also using WAL files to achieve PITR if you don't want to do straight dumps. O

[Veritas-bu] multipathing with tapes on Linux?

2011-07-27 Thread David Magda
Hey, Anyone know if Linux (specifically RHEL 5.x) supports multi-pathing to tapes? Is it worth setting up a media server with a 10 GigE interface and two (or more) FC connections on the other? AFAICT, the "device-mapper-multipath" only support MPIO for block devices. Is this assessment correct?
