Hobbiest SAN suggestions by
[email protected]
I'd like to play around with a small inexpensive SAN at home. Storage
capacity or performance is not a concern something like a 4 or 5 year
old EMC, HP or IBM box. Any suggestions?

Acronis incremental backup question by
[email protected]
Say I do a complete backup in Acronis (Acronis 9 on XP), and call it
Back.tib. Then, I do an incremental backup, pointing Acronis to
Back.tib as the archive to increment from (I give this in the "Backup
Archive
Location" question), and Acronis creates a file called Back2.tib. If I

HDD hardware platform question by
Peter[_6_]
Hi
I might have had too much sun today, so please bear with me...
As I understand it there are presently two major hard disk interfaces
on the market; SATA and SCSI; and with SAS we see sort of a merge
between the two.
There is still a major price difference between "native" SATA v.s.
"native"...

IOPS from RAID units by
[email protected]
Literature from storage suppliers show performance claims of over 1000
random IOPS.
If they are really random over an array, are they not limited by the
seek time ?
So an average seek time of 8.2 ms for a SATA disk would imply a
maximum of 122 seeks per
second. So how can you claim over a 1000...

Thecus 5200 by
Will
For a few disconnected systems (not on regular network) I decided to buy a
few Thecus 5200 NAS / FTP boxes, using SATA drives and RAID 6 with five
drives. The performance is very decent for a consumer product, and I was
measuring about 50 MB/second using gigabit ethernet when writing backup...

disc failure within lvm group by
avi
I've just setup 4 scsi 10g disk on a LVM volume, and created one
partition which comes up to be 36g. My question is, what happens if
one of the hard drives fail? what does LVM do? does the entire group
die?
I am running ubuntu dapper on a intel pentium III 800mhz server.

Need help setting SAN boot to CLARiiON from Emulex LP9002 by
[email protected]
I pretty much followed the instructions from EMC/Emulex documentation:
1) updated to boot BIOS
2) enabled BIOS on HBA
3) create zone so the HBA has only one logical path to the SP
4) created a LUN on the same SP that the HBA has access to
5) disabled local RAID controller on the host
6) Hit ALT-E...

NDMP Question by
Nik Simpson
From the way I read the spec for NDMP it defines a method for writing
data to tape, not just moving data from tthe NAS too a backup
application. Do backup vendors actually write NDMP daata streams
directly to tape, or do they typically encapsulate in their own
proprietary on tape format?

NDMP Question by
Curtis Preston
The format used by NDMP is NOT in the Spec. It's the only way they got
all the NAS vendors to agree to use it. NDMP is only a communication
protocol. It says "hi. I'm here to back you up, please send a backup
stream to this device." NDMP then does what it's told and tells your
backup app what...

Bulkiest removable storage media? by
Tim Shoppa
What's the bulkiest removable storage media? Drums etc. don't count
because you don't often switch the drum (although they certainly could
be heavy judging by nothing but the size of the bearings). I worked
with RP06 packs and some funky optical tape reels in the past, but
those were pretty measly...

building on your own a large data storage ... by

Hi,

I need to store a really large number of texts and I (could) have a
number of ATA100 S.M.A.R.T.-compliant hard drives, which I would like
to use to somehow build a large and safe (RAID-5?) data store

Now I am definitely more of a software person (at least
occupationally) and this is what...
