It has been about a year since I ran 5.1 so I don't quite remember how
they ran but with 6 a failed backup, like a full monthly, will retry at
your set frequency (in our case 12 hours) until it completes with a 0 or
1. Sometimes it will try and run the same job everyday for a week. We
rarely have to manually rerun jobs now. But I do agree that 5 is more
stable. The 6 upgrade has required a lot of work to get 99% success.

Forgive me if I am wrong, but doesnt 5.x offer the same functionaility
of failed backups (retry!)

 

Because that is what I am seeing here, in a 5.1 environment...... As
long as the window is open, the backups re-try until the threshold hits
the limit or the backup completes.

        In an environment with multiple media servers you only have to
recover the Master in a DR. This allows us to be up and recovering any
server in the 2 hours it takes to recover the catalog. If a media server
is needed for throughput you can do a basic install of Veritas on it and
be up and running. With all the data on the Master the media servers do
not need any data recovered to be functional. I like the way it auto
restarts failed jobs, but it bit me last night when a job tried to run 5
times and now I have 23 failures on the report for 1 server.

        What advantages do you see in 6.x over 5.x?  What things are
better and easier etc. I need to get some points to be used for planning
a 6.0 upgrade.
