Hi, does anyone know an affordable solution (no NAS/SAN applicance for more than 2000 EUR/$) to provide storage in a home EtherNet network (e.g. via USB2 and a Router) ? Of course, for security reasons, the system must support RAID. Is there anything available ?

Hello. We're using a StorEdge L25 system with two mags and one drive. In both mags, there's one cleaning tape. We're using VERITAS NetBackup 6.0MP4 as our backup software. The backup software recognized those tapes as cleaning tapes (it's showing "HC_CLN" as Media Type). However, this morning the...

Hello! One of the responsibilites in my new job is, to take care of the backup of our Solaris servers. We're using LTO 1 tapes to hold the backup. When I now had a look at the Netbackup software, I saw that some of our tapes are quite old (from 2003) and have been mounted up to 500 times.

Hello! We're using NetBackup 5.1 to backup a few Sun Solaris servers. The NB master server is a Solaris 9 system; GUI client runs on Windows 2000; the clients which are backed up are Solaris 8/9/10 systems. Is it possible to make NetBackup run a script on the (Solaris) client, just before it...

Hi All. A breif ?? the above enclosure. Does any one know and/or have a link for bus speed info on the Repeater card (93H6409) & Backplane board (06H8576). I'm looking to see if it will support Ultra 80/160 rates. I've looked awhile & IBM sites and couldn't find any info relating to...

Good Day. Does anyone know of a rack enclosure that is supports SCSI bus of Ultra 80 & maybe even 160. Around 6 verticle (on end) bays (comparable to the IBM 3519). 4U in height. I'm looking to update my enclosure for faster drives. To include @ least 6 vertical bays. TIA.

Hey. I had a few questions, about backup at companies. I'm just guessing on this, because I've never worked at a big corporation, but for backups, do the employees of the company usually save all critical data on the network server under the folder name that they have access to ? Then whenever a...

Hi; I figured out a method to calculate accumulated CRC of data when its packet arrival is out of order without large intermediate data buffer. In aother word, I can calculate each packet's contribution to the final CRC using each packet's CRC which could be give by hardware or protocal chip. 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, I will ask this question once and then I will shoot myself. I have the IMB EBCDIC tapes. Using NovaXchange, I read each tape and dump it to disk on windows 2000. Nova xchange uses these tpu files which I will never understand. The tpu files convert packed this into ascii that or something

Has anyone seen read or own papers on the question of what is superiour in terms of reliability/speed/etc - Physical (2 DC actively having storage) or Logical (1 DC being primary and vitual replication to the secondary DC)? Thanks

Hello! I am trying to evaluate Veritas Backup Exec 9.1 as a backup solution. I have a Win 2003 machine with a tape drive. In addition to backing up the server itself, I would also like it to have clients on several other computers, so they can backup to the central server. The problem is that...
