A clarification to Michel's excellent information. "...files are always written to disk, whenever they contain a virus or not." The filer will request a scan for viruses when there is a file extension match and the client request is one of: a) file open b) file rename c) file close (but only if the file was modified) When a file is created there is no scan. When the newly created file is written to, there is no scan. Scanning after each write would kill performance. However, when the file is closed, a scan will occur. As long as the anti-virus server has been set to clean/quarantine/delete if viruses are detected, any infection will be taken care of right then, not when a second client subsequently opens the file. -----Original Message----- From: Michel GELDENHUYS [mailto:michel.geldenhuys@danone.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2003 8:48 AM To: Toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: Virus Protection ideas Hi Jon, I think you have two options: - the first one is to forget about virus scanning on your Filer and rely on antivirus software installed on your workstations and servers ;-) - the second one is to go with the virus protection for CIFS way implemented in Data Ontap. Extract from DPG: "CIFS virus protection is a Data ONTAP feature that allows a virus-scanning PC client running Network Appliance-compliant antivirus applications to provide on-access virus scanning of files on a filer. On-access virus scanning means that a file is scanned before a CIFS client is allowed to open it." So files are always written to disk, whenever they contain a virus or not. This is to keep the blasting performance of our Filers at the top. But when an "open file" request is issued, Data Ontap interacts with the antivirus server so that the second scans the file and eventually prevent access to it in case it's infected.

We use Trendmicro Server Protect for Network Appliance across multiple filers for a few thousand users. - fairly straightforward setup - easy to administer and monitor. Incidents and outbreaks are well reported - Pattern updates and notification is solid - Our vendor support has been excellent Definitely worth considering against any of the other major vendors.

Geoff -- Sony AIT-3 comes as a stand alone, so do most other tape formats: SDLT, Exabyte, LTO, LTO2, etc. Get in touch with a good vendor and they can point you in the right direction for example http://www.storagebysony.com/products/productmain.asp?id=142 Martin -----Original Message----- From: Geoff Hardin [mailto:geoff.hardin@dalsemi.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2003 1:39 PM To: toasters Subject: backup question I am getting a FAS270c for a small project. The users are concerned about the data security and do not want the data to cross the wire to our current backup solution. So, we're limited to a couple of direct attached tape drives on the FAS270 because the amount of data does not justify a small library. Is there anyone else out there doing this? What did you use? I can't find any stand alone FC (optical) tape drives. Thanks for the help! Geoff Hardin geoff.hardin(a)dalsemi.com If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

Tape Backups
by Dan Nowak 16 Dec '03

16 Dec '03

All, As I am fairly new to Network Appliances, I would like your opinions on the best method for backing up a larger system. I am using a spectralogic 245 tape jukebox in stacker mode. I am trying to backup two separate volumes in utilizing a no-rewind device. As we are only in the testing mode, there is currently not that much data to back up, however when in full production, we fully expect a 1000+ users with a disk quota of 1 gig. We are not using any third party application such as Veritas or Legato Networker and are only using the dump and restore commands and the options associated with them. The NetApp documentation really is not that informative and I thought maybe some of the more experienced users out there may have some helpful suggestions. Thank you in advance for any advice, Dan
