It's taking me forever, but I'm still plodding along on developing the
outline for my latest book.  (Congratulations to Preston de Guise on HIS
book!  Check it out at
http://www.enterprisesystemsbackup.com/Enterprise_Systems_Backup/About_t
he_Book.html.)  I'm sure everyone on the list will buy BOTH books!

 

I have a question for you about managing a networker system.  What are
the things you find yourself doing on a regular basis and how do you do
them?  Let me give you a few examples.

 

1.      Monitoring backup success/failure.

        a.      Do you use nsradmin & scripts, NetWorker Management
Console, etc?

2.      Rerunning failed backups
3.      Putting tapes in a tape library, making them ready to use
4.      Getting tapes offsite

        a.      I send originals and don't make clones
        b.      I use/don't use Alphastor
        c.      I send clones and make them via scripting
        d.      I send clones and make them via automated group cloning

5.      Monitoring for capacity/throughput issues
6.      Installing new clients

 

I'm not taking a survey of the different methods, here.  I'm just trying
to make sure my list of recurring activities is complete.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.
