Hi Legato Listserve

This isn't a legato/networker specific question .... But, how is your

organization structured for Backup/Storage Staffing.I'm trying to get an idea of how other organizations deal with the storage/server growth

phenomenom -and any information you can provide would be most

appreciated. Just so we are talking apples and apples - if you could answer these questions.I know this is a repeat from 2002 - but things have changed a bit in the last 4 years.

1.How many systems do you backup with Networker?

276

2.How many Networker Servers (Zones) do you support?

one

3.How many TB's of data do you support?

22TB

4.How many storage nodes / tape devices / libraries ?

 One strage node, shared library with 12 tape drives

5.How many full time FTE are dedicated to supporting legato? (please use
percentages if partial FTE, for example .5 Windows FTE + .5 Unix FTE)

 sysadmin 10% of time, 1 operator full time 70% of time Netware issues, weekend 
operator for saturday

6.If you do have FTE's assigned to backups what are their job titles?

  sysadmin.

7.How is backup monitoring/reporting handled within your organization, centrally through data center or decentrally through systems

administrators?

Custom reports that are kicked off when the Networker server backs itself up.  
Phone calls from the operator at night, and Saturday.  Sunday scripts that 
check for crtical savesets and if they have failed for certain restartable 
conditions they initiate a remote manual save and send out a page.

8.What operating systems are you supporting for servers/storage nodes and clients?

Solaris for server and storage node. Aix, Netware, Solaris, Linux and Windows for clients.

9.How many application specific backups do you provide and what type? (e.g. Exchange, Oracle, Etc)

 none

10.Who makes sure your backups work on the weekends and vacations?

  Operators and scripting.

Thank you in advance for your input.
