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 do another...

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...
