I need a solution I have a master that we shut down at a site, it would be nice to have that masters info loaded into my master server at my location if i ever need to do a restore of something from that site we shut down. My

LetThereBeZeros posted: The Mike Tyson of the backup world - VCB

So It took a bit too long to get right, but VCB is a powerful tool to get your backups flying along. Network congestions, poorly configured ports, old servers, all other known enemies of the Backup guys/gals are defeated with the move to Virtual Servers, and the use of VCB backups. Our se

LetThereBeZeros commented on: How to tell who logged on and off Java GUI when

Whatever script, tool, product you find you will have to run for each network, then have no way to communicate back. Sounds like system administration would be a nightmare in your shoes. Good luck with solving it, and let us ...

Short name. Make sure you are using the FQDN and that fixed many of my 156 errors.

LetThereBeZeros posted: NetBackup Disaster Recovery Plan

We do our anual DR tests, and now we are looking to step them up a bit. Might be nice to see what others do or dont do in this arena. We have a DR box that is on a seperate network. We can take that box build it as a master server and import our catalog from NBU 6.5.3. We can then patch

LetThereBeZeros posted: License Key Simplification

I work at a site that had lots of legacy master servers. By legacy i mean OLD. We pay support on all of these servers and with that are able to recieve upgrades when available. The probelm many different people purchased the original keys so the upgrade notifications dont all come to me or my

LetThereBeZeros commented on: NOM problem (master server shows partially on NOM Console

I hate this error, its just looks messy. It really should be more tolerant of network latency. I would guess thats the issue. I mean how many times is it really a problem when they are partially online. ...

LetThereBeZeros commented on: Media Write Error 84

Take this tape " 000636" and crush it. Or manually Freeze it, then try again. We have had multiple 84 errors on the same policy because it will have a tendancy to grab that same tape again because its in the same ...

LetThereBeZeros posted: NOM 6.5.4

We use NOM 6.5 to monitor 23 master servers spread around the globe. Some of these sites have limited local IT support, and the more tools we have to make management of these servers easy the better off we are. In the past we had to wait until our Perl script generated site summary reports cam

Would be great in this mobile centric world we live in to be able to use our blackberry to up drives, check alerts, kill jobs, restart jobs. I can do a lot of this now, but its just because the blackberry is getting better at rendering web pages, but a trimmed down mobile version of NOM wou

LetThereBeZeros commented on: NetBackup 6.5.4 is out!

I like the new report on your virtual clients. Very key. But I was hoping to fix the "partially online" and again FAIL. I am monitoring 22 masters with it, most of which are 6.5, few 6.5.3, and have not yet ...

LetThereBeZeros commented on: NOM 6.5 loosing connection to Master Server

My current guess is FT is fault tolerant. So being that we dont have our master in FT mode. Maybe in the future but not now. I'd like to ignore this alert. Dont see a way at the moment.little help?
