I am running: UniVerse 10.0.17 Windows 2000 SP 4 Veritas Backup Exec: Media Server & Admin. Console: Ver 9.00 Rev 4454
My Application Event Log has been showing an unusually high number of UniVerse errors. Since I am an end user I can't go directly to IBM and must go through my VAR. I placed a call with my VAR and sent them a text copy of my application event log. The response was that IBM said I should uninstall Backup Exec because they have had 250 calls where the problem with UniVerse was resolved after removing Veritas Backup Exec. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place now. IBM says I should uninstall my backup software. The administrator that is responsible for backup systems for our corporation is resistant to allowing me to do this, however. He says that we will not uninstall Backup Exec unless IBM can tell us specifically what the incompatibility is between it and UniVerse. The main reasons for his stance are that the event log errors are all labeled UniVerse errors (none are labeled as Backup Exec errors) and the errors occur around the clock, not just when Backup Exec is running. I had asked my VAR to request specifics regarding the incompatibility issue from IBM but either they or IBM must have figured that the numbers spoke for themselves because I was not given a reason. (or possibly they don't know the reason) Can anyone out there help me? Does anybody know what the incompatibilities are between Veritas Backup Exec and UniVerse? I tend to lean towards following IBM's recommendations but just in case... Has anyone found a way to run the two where application event errors do not occur? I also requested a recommendation of other backup software from them and was not given one. If anyone has a recommendation of UV compatible backup software that I can run on Windows, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer! Gwen Buck Gaska Tape Inc.
