Re: [Veritas-bu] Need some suggestions

We were looking into make the client a media server, however we not only have this one large box, but we about 5 others in the same situation. And we are using the SSO option so all 16 drive in the library can be used. Now with Flash backups I think I read someone said I won’t be able to do file restores. True? If so that won’t work, I get individual file restores all the time for these servers.

Thanks

Dan

If the client is not a Media Server, then get that configured, using SSO to share the tape drives.

Alternatively Flash Backup has been mentioned on this forum a few times. No real experience of it, not sure of the pro's and cons (well a pro would be a better quicker backup).

The setup…

Client:

Windows 2003 Svr

6 TB of very small files…Word, Excel etc

NBU environment

6.0 MP4

all Windows…media and master node.

LTO3 drives SAN Attach (FC)

Mutlistreaming enabled

1GB isolated network

Multiplexing enabled, and don’t laugh it is set to 20…I know I know hopefully I’ll never need to do a full system restore.

I’ve isolated all policies from the media server that handles this clients backup request.

And yet my full backup is running anywhere from 1.5 – 2 days, my transfer rate to tape is running around 2000 KB/sec…horrible

What else can I do to help speed this up?

Thanks
