I have a NetApp NAS, and I'm looking at how to backup the device. I have Legato, and have tested backing up via NDMP. Does anyone know of a way to restore a NDMP backup to a Windows server? We are a Windows shop and I don't have a NetApp NAS(Sun or Solaris box) at my cold site, and was hoping to...

Hi there... I'd like to use (if possible) multiple DVD-RAM discs to backup my system's hard-drive to. Is there such a DVD writer/burner product out there that provides for automated cueing of multiple discs (like there exist among home entertainment DVD and CD players with disc caddies, for...

Hi, A friend of mine is looking for some parttime Unix Administration / Storage Engineer openings in central MA. If this isnt a good place to ask this questions, is there any group specifically for storage positions? Thanks.

Hi, I have a HP FibreChannel adapter that runs with an adaptec driver (downloaded at HP, but it is an adaptec, don't ask me why). It is connected to a Compaq StorageWorks Modular Data Router. But I can't see it in the System, VeritasBackupExec, whatever... Why?

Hi we're currently thinking about some NAS strategies. Unfortunately the application in use needs all data at a single LUN / Share. As we came into trouble with the max LUN size (2TB) we're thought about providing the necessary amount of storage via CIFS (not good at all, I know, but the only...

Hi, I have a HP FibreChannel adapter that runs with an adaptec driver (downloaded at HP, but it is an adaptec, don't ask me why). It is connected to a Compaq StorageWorks Modular Data Router.

Hello all. My name is Nick Selvaggio. I am a computer science student at NYIT. This semester I am taking my semester project and am mulling over idea's for the project. I have an idea which involves a SAN type architecture. I wanted to bounce the idea off of some people before trying to...

using this with firewire. I'm using Win 98, second edition. Stop using Win98, it's a crappy operating system with poor history (on-the-knee made-not-properly-designed-patch-over-the-paleolithic-MS-DOS). Use some of the Windows NT OSes - Win2000 or WinXP. -- Maxim Shatskih, Windows DDK...

Hi, I'm using Sony's S AIT-1 internal drive for backup purposes in a Win 2003 SBS machine. It seams to me that it is not using hardware compression when performing backup, although it's enabled through the Ntbackup configuration. When I look at the drive properties in the Device manager, i see the...

I recently bought a Thecus N2100 YES box. I was after a network disk which I could store HD video footage on (at least until someone decides on a DVD format). Basically it has an Intel Xscale chip, 128MB memory and (I've put in) 2 x 300gb Maxtor eSATA disks. Turning the box on I get the startup...

Hi, We're going to be purchasing a database server from IBM. Although the database itself will be housed on a 10-drive SCSI-based external storage unit, the operating system will reside on two drives housed in the server itself. The drives will be mirrored (RAID 1). I noticed that the server quote...

drive. If I didn't partition it, and I put on more than 128GB, I wonder if I will have problems. Create a test of 2 partitions - one 127GB, another 1GB. Then try to put some files on the second 1GB partition. If this will be fine - then there are major chances that everything will be...

Does anyone make a good computer based training CD for Veritas StorageFoundation 4.x? I'm finding the Veritas StorageFoundation UI has lots of redundant components, and it's really not clear how several key ideas operate. For example, if you have four drives in a raid group, and stripe across...

I don't know, it might be worth trying that one too, except it seems MS has now taken it off their 'site. It's here though, http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=90 named 290831usa8.exe It appears to only replace the scsiport.pdr file in the iosubsys folder. Correct. This is...

Hi, I'm a student and out of my curiousness I want to know how data centers usually store their data. Some mail provider liker Gmail and Hotmail must have huge volume of data, even properly compressed. I just can't imagine they could store it in hard drives. Is there any special devices? Thanks in...

I'd like to discover differences between SAN shared file systems like Sanbolic Melio, Tiger MetaSAN and SGI CXFS. If you have any experience with at least both Melio and MetaSAN or if you know the competitive comparison, please advise ? Volodymyr
