Our goal is 99%, Lat year we upgraded to 6.5.4 and added Data Domain with OST which caused some problems to get
all the connections and workload set correctly.

Things have settled down and we are getting 99+ percent. We run around 8,000 backups per day.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Backup Success Rate





I aim for 99% - In almost all cases, the system is setup to "self behave" and re-try jobs if it has failed after a certain amount of hours.
 
I have left a backup system for weeks, and it has been problem free.

Hi Brian


We average around 98% success rate on our "production" servers.

[Veritas-bu] Backup Success Rate








I've been asked what I think the national average is for backup
success.  I recall hearing at one time that it was around 85-86% ...
What do you believe this to be?

TIA

Brian
