Re: [Veritas-bu] Best Practice: Location of the NetBackup Catalog

Simon,

It seems clear your own opinion is that RAID 5 on internal is the way to go even though everyone else that has posted has indicated they don’t see a problem with the SAN configuration seen in most large environments. Ed even echoed my comments about the failure of an internal RAID 5 being more likely than SAN failure. It’s not clear what else you expect to see in this thread. If your opinion is different than everyone else’s then you own it and no one here is going to try to force you do it their way. On the converse you’re not likely to convince us that your way is correct since both methods are simply opinions and most of the responders seem to have formed an opposite opinion to the one you’re expressing based on years of experience.

P.S. I wish I was only 34…

Yes got that Dom. Yes, good thing about the SAN configuration is the way the data can be spread about. Not saying SAN's are not reliable, but just trying to look at it from this company's perspective that any actions I can take to minimise downtime in terms of a Major DR situation are at a min.

And worse case is a restore of the catalog (if the copy I have made is not replicated over correctly !

Many Thanks, Simon

Yes it is but it’s also spread over trays so I’m happy to trust it.

Not sure if my last post got through but the catalogue backup goes over fibre to our DR site onto another tape library.

DR file is replicated over as well and is also emailed to my private mail account. I believe I have most of the bases covered.
