In regard to: Re: [Networker] Top 20 (or so) misunderstood things about NW,...:
The client/group setups don't pick which pool to send data to. The pool
config picks which client/groups to receive data from.
The "capacity" figure for a tape does *not* set how much tape will be
used.
These last two items that Darren mentions are both very good candidates
for inclusion in the list of common misconceptions.
The people that write the NetWorker Admin guide should be paying attention
to this thread too! Several people have identified areas where a lot of
people get confused. That's a good sign that the docs (even though they
may be correct) aren't giving people the knowledge they need to understand
how NetWorker really functions.
I'm not knocking the Admin Guide. Last time I spent much time in there,
(admittedly years ago) I found it to be very good. There are just certain
NetWorker concepts (or terminology) that require extra explanation, and
maybe the docs aren't doing enough of that.
