hi, thanx for the reply...i have two questions ? Could you tell me a precise reason why netappp filers cant be compressed? By the way can u also tell me if it was any data other than netapp filers th
What tape drives are you using? As mentioned, they are probably *already* compressing on tape. Otherwise, Networker compression is done on the client, but NDMP devices (like a Network Appliance filer
Netapp filers use NDMP (either using tapes attached locally, or using the DSA protocol to send via the network) to backup the server, rather than Legato's native client. In this case, Legato has noth

hi, sorry i did not tell in detail...actually we are using sdlt tape drives of 320 GB capacity And whereas in the case of netapp filer..what we have done is that now we have mapped the drives of file
SDLT drives will compress by default. Is there any reason that you think that is not working? What capacity is actually getting to your drives? If that's working, it will be much faster than trying t
First, you really don't want to do it this way. It's inefficient and will probably have major issues during restores. If you go this way, make sure you test thoroughly your restores. I assume you wen

You need to select the "default windows directive with compression". Select that as your directive for the client that's backing up that filer. Curtis Preston | VP Data Protection GlassHouse Tech

This is driver dependent. I am not sure how you would do it in Windows. In Solaris you would choose the hbn device rather than the cbn device. To sign off this list, send email to listserv AT listse

But now that I think about it, if you're backing up this way, there really is NO value in using client compression (the directives with compression), (there hardly ever is). You're not saving any ban

Hello, Most likely the compression is enabled on the drive, you can query that by utilizing NTUTIL ( IBM) or similar utility that comes with the drive\Lib Vendor. HTH Davina Treiber <Davina.Treiber A

Hello, NDMP is the way to go with backing up filer\NAS Data, i have realized some admins using NFS mount to backup the files, that may be better then CIFS mount, however, i would stick with NDMP meth
