karl_bunnell

Symantec Employee

Adoption to Windows 7 is accelerating and migrations from prior versions of Windows to Windows 7 are really starting to pick up steam. One significant impediment to migrating to Windows 7 is the lack of native support for Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) on Windows 7. Many enterprises still rely on interna...

mph999 commented on: DRIVE ISSUE

Marianne is 100% correct. NetBackup does NOT write to tape drives. The write (or read) operation is done by the operating system. If a drive is down, then the system log (Event logs windows/ messages log Solaris/ Linux etc ...) should give a reason why. NetbCakup does log events : /usr/openv/volmgr/debug/tpcommand /usr/openv/volmgr/debug/robots .. are usful logs. ...
