Upgrading Netbackup hardware. We have money to spend - any advice?
Hi to all, We currently have 1 x NB 6.5.4 (Win2003) Master Server with a SCSI attached Dell TLD containing 6 x LTO3 tape drives. Additionally we have 1 further media server (Win2003) which we use for disk backups (occasionally as it is extremely slow!). We also have 1 x NOM (Win2003) server and 1 x NB PureDisk 6.5.1.2 (PDOS) server which has 2TB of local disk space. We have noticed that since we introduced multiple copy backups and all 6 Tape devices are in use, the NB platform slows to a halt. We are going to try and spread the load around a bit more. Our thinking is that we buy a media server for each of the 3 LAN's that have servers that we backup (SQL DB and File/Folder backups mainly). Each of these new media servers would either have a lot of local disk storage or would use DAS hardware. We are keen to get more out of our PureDisk software and are considering beefing that up and making it a clustered environment to an offsite device. Quite simply, I have been asked to provide a design document and I wanted to ask if anyone had any reccomendations on how they think we should invest? Our largest backups are around 2TB and these happen on a weekly basis. We also send tapes offsite on a weekly basis for the critical backups so we are not keen on disk-only solutions. We are happy to upgrade to NB7.0 too if this has any relevance with regards to our forthcoming hardware purchase. Any advice greatly appreciated..... Martin
Ops Center not emailing new reports
Had this problem a couple months back and it randomly fixed itself. Unfortunately that hasn't happened this time. Created new scheduled reports with new time schedules. The reports are set to export and email. The export works, the email doesn't. The reason this is particularly vexing is that I have other scheduled reports that work just fine. New reports are set up just like the working ones. I have created mutiple time and report schedules, tried sending it to different email addresses, rebooted the server, restarted the services, nothing works.
Where I can find client software image.
Hi everyone, I'm going to test BMR features. When I'm creating an SRT for Window, the wizard ask for a client software image path. What does it mean? Where do I find this image? is it something that I must create from a client? Could anyone help me please? Thanks Bonovox
