Should I use the same storage for OS part and Backup DB part?
We are trying to set up Linux server for the backup server, and are using NetApp storage for the both OS part and Backup data part. We have two different type of stroage both from NetApp. One is FAS which has a lot of storage based functions, and support NFS, SnopShots, DR replications. The other one is E-series has less functions and primarily for the backup data images. Should I seperate OS and Data part , one on FAS, and the other on E, or does that matter.

I have been involved in a task to move backups to Netbackup Appliances in our estate. For the first time I am seeing a very strange problem which is stopping me to configure a media server to a master server.

There are numerous things which have been tried here inclusing removing the DNS Entries for these servers from DNS and making Local Hosts entry on our master/media servers. nbemm logs are attached below on high verbosity though it doesn't says much. Any Clue techis ? Symantec case has been raised but just wondering if you guys have ever experienced this issue.Solved906Views0likes1CommentAppliance 5230/Media server/BMR

Hi, We have an test Amazon S3 compatible environment what doesn't run on standard port 80 or 443. Using wizard, under advanced configuration, I can change the storage server endpoint hostname, but no option to change port number. Is there a command line option to add cloud storage server configuration where I can specify custom endpoint hostname/ip and port number? Any pointer will be highly appreciated.

Here are the facts : We use Symantec recovery system 2011 for weekly back up of a SBS2011 standard server (3 partitions / disks). Each recovery point (base RP + incremental RPs - all 3 disks) is around 100 Go. We have set a limit to the maximum space used by recovery points at 500Go on a 1To network disk having more than 750Go free (not including the RPs). So, in application of this article of the KB : http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH152893 we were expecting to have at least 4 RPs left at any time on the network disk. Unfortunately, we noticed that when the size limit is reached (i.e. after the 5th base RP, somewhere at the 2nd or 3rd incremental RP) all RPs are deleted except the last. I already searched in the past discussions and found only one relevant thread closed without satisfactory solution. https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/symantec-system-recovery-erase-all-recovery-point-except-last-one Does anyone have a hint about it ? Thanks in advance and please apologize for my poor english... Pierre563Views0likes5Comments
