Dimitris Peppas commented on: import phase one information retention

Actually, I have 12 tape drives available for the import, so that number is divided by 12 => ~ 1 month. Anyhow, I will suggest to import only the crucial information, that was backed up with retentions longer that 2-3 months (anything ...

Dimitris Peppas 2 commented on: Old DLT tapes show up as blank media

The inventory only adds the tape to the media database, it does not read their information. After the inventory, did you try to catalog a tape? From http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/269948.htm What is an Inventory? An ...

Dimitris Peppas 2 commented on: Backing up RDM / VMFS volumes - incrementals

What is your recommendation (best-in-class) approach to relieve us from backing up FULLS daily? Put incremental back in play (if possible). VMWare now supports VCB backups of RMD volumes if they are in virtual mode. ...

Dimitris Peppas 2 commented on: What a frozen tape really is ?

1) "Expired media cannot be written to even after expiration" (I presume you actually mean frozen media in this instance?) Frozen media is never de-assigned, and cannot be written to, so even if the "image" expired, the ...

I have confirmed that you dont need a BMR key, but actually any Client or DB Agent License key will do. It seems that, because the BMR option is actually integrated into the client functionality, a client key "kick off" the option in ...

I need a solution Hi All. I have done a fresh install of NBU 6.5.2 on a Windows 2003 Server, and I cannot see the BMR part in the NBU Admin Console. I ran the BMR Prepare wizard succesfully, but nothing has come up.
