A couple comments to add to this thread: Ebon: "NetBackup is not smart enough to use a different disk storage unit when a DSU fills up" Rumor has it, the next version (6.0?) of NBU will properly hand

In theory, I agree...in practice, I haven't found it worked that well.. The reason I'm having issues is due to only having a 90 Gig DSSU. To backup 5 machines, each with around 15-20 gigs of data....

Another coupld of questions : 1. Is it possible to make it disk stage to more than one tape drive in parallel, i.e. multistream? It seems like one disk staging area will only use one tape drive at a
Philip 1. No, it's currently not possible to relocate from a DSSU to multiple tape drives. Also a rumored feature of the next big release though... 2. No, multiple retentions won't get duplicated to

sorry, I take back what I said earlier, I didn't read through the whole thread of the mail. My workaround to the single stream of staging II in DSSU is to define multiple DSSU, and put them in same s

Should be fine..... At least it doesn't cause NB to completely hang/freeze like it did to me several times. Go into Policy, then into Schedules, then open a schedule. Check "Multiple copies" then cl

Thanks everybody for all the useful suggestions. I haven't really played much with disk staging yet. These 84s were basically due to not staging to tape correctly, but they got me to thinking how I c

We have not found a way to get around the 84 errors caused by a dsu filling up. NB isn't smart enough to try a different dsu. However, we have been able to run parallel jobs to different dsu's. We ha

FWIW, in case you haven't discovered this, it is a good idea to have FULLs and INCREMEMENTALS go to different DSUs. If NB thinks there is insufficient space on a DSU, it will delete the two oldest im
