Re: [Veritas-bu] Drive Multiplexing

Thanks Justin.

I think using two policies for this going to work. The NEW_STREAM directive and individual pathnames is streaming five file systems at a time to one tape drive.

Now on to testing restores!

Thanks again for your help.

Dean and Justin,

Thank you very much for your replies.

I need to use ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES (I think) because there are two clients in my
policy. Basically the backup runs like this:

1. - client1: make clones of production file systems
2. - client2: mount clones of client1's production file systems
3. - client2: back up client1's production file systems to local tape drive
4. - client2: back up client1's root volume group over the network.

client1 is only a client, client2 is a client and a media server.

Am I able to specify the pathnames in this configuration, or am I stuck with
ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES?

Thanks again,
Jeremy

Jeremy,

1. Use two policies.
2. mkdir the same mounts on each server
(hackish way of doing things, but may be necessary in some cases)
As long as the paths exist, empty or not, that will eliminate the need
for using ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES.

Is the multiplexing working properly now?

Justin.
