Having an issue with Puredisk taking forever to import replicated data selections. The Import jobs get queued up into the 1000's. The replication jobs themeselves are completing fine- the data import is what's getting delayed. Just curious what the...

Our environment is just getting too big to keep track of the agent ID to name resolution. I've been poking around in the docs and the KB, but I'm not seeing any hints about where to find this list on the SPA. Has anyone tracked it down? Also looki...

Anyone out there upgraded to 6.5 yet? I'm on 6.2.1, and looking to get going in a couple weeks on the upgrade- I'd like to hear about anyone's experiences to this point.

Got a strange one here- putting in an all-in-one PD 6.2.1 system, and the OS won't totally recognize logical volume 2. Logical Volume 1 is on the same controller, and that's where the /boot, swap, /, and etc. live. It works fine- the server boots ...

We recently upgraded from 6.0 MP5 to 6.5 MP1. On one of our Windows 2003 Media servers, there is DSU that points to a file share on another Win2k3 box (long boring story- temporary situation to add space)... anyway, this worked fine up until th...

what you are doing seems needlessly complicated. Why not just put the Netbackup client on your Samba server and back it up that way?

You really ought to be syncing NTP to a box elsewhere- and having the other boxes do the same. That will keep your time stamps aligned with the client boxes better. It looks like someone wanted to keep the boxes syncronized with each other- an exce...

Got a response to my support call on this- turns out there's a bug in the code that's a little too aggressive with creating import jobs. Symantec has an EEB to fix it, and it works.

Your offices with file servers are right in the zone for Puredisk, but you may want to look at DLO for the others. Puredisk is really designed as more of a server backup tool- they don't actually list desktop OS' on the compatibility list. I've in...

(deep breath) why are you doing it that way?

I'm with Simon on this one

Answer - there's an EEB for that

Probably will work (sort of), but....
