Re: [Veritas-bu] VSP in 6.x

If I'm not mistaken VSS is only available on Windows
2003. Windows 2000 users are kind of up the creek. If you want the
software installed the same way every time I'd recommend creating a .mst or
modifying Symantec's .msi so it can only be installed one way. Software
deployment FTW. =) I've found with 200+ windows machines that its
only certain boxes that have trouble with VSP files and for those I either
disable VSP on the master or switch to VSS if Windows 2003. I think its 6
servers right now. That's not bad for 200+. As far as disabling VSP
all together, I'd rather have more Windows 2000 files backed up via VSP and deal
with the headaches when it infrequently breaks, than turn it off altogether and
miss all that data all the time.

Use VSS, not VSP and you won't have the issues in 6.0. We've
instructed our Windows admins to always do a custom install and disable the VSS
installation and let Windows do the snapshots. No more cache
files.
Now getting the Windows admins to actually follow the installation
instructions and do a custom install - that's a challenge all by itself.
Whenever they complain to us (Storage) about a large cache file, we tell them to
read the install docs and get it right this time.

Has NBU 6.0 or 6.5 fixed the issue with the
VSP Cache file becoming locked and not cleaning up after itself? This remains
a common problem for me in 5.1 so we try not to use it.
