RE: Excluding files from NDMP backup
by Roth, William 13 Apr '01

Tom, I believe what you've stated is true, you could use EXCLUDE in conjunction with NEW_STREAM to get multiple simultaneous dumps going. There's a simpler and easier way to accomplish this, however. Use EXCLUDE when you want write less data to tape. Use NEW_STREAM when you want to initiate multiple simultaneous dumps from the same class. >From a performance perspective, an EXCLUDE based dump can be less efficient than a full volume dump, or a quota tree based dump. This goes back to what I said earlier, use EXCLUDE to write less data to tape, use multiple simultaneous dumps to write to more than one tape drive at a time. Dump performance is enhanced with Data ONTAP 6.0 or higher. Full volume or quota tree based dumps will provide the best performance. Let me know if you require more detail.

Steven Wells' advice is EXTRAORDINARILY valuable if you are buying ANY NetApp equipment, NEW or USED. If your company factors any consideration of equipment re-sale value into its purchasing decisions, you would be well-advised to insist that Network Appliance agree to a simple modification of its standard software license agreement before you hand them a purchase order for your next filer. Otherwise, should your company ever be in a position where it needs to sell its NetApp gear -- as many companies, for example, are currently being forced to do with their newer F760s and F840s -- the wholesale value of your system will be about TEN CENTS ON THE DOLLAR as soon as it leaves NetApp's shipping dock. BTW, when Union Computer advertises used NetApp filers with transferable software licenses, it is because the systems carry software license agreements which NetApp's legal department has, in fact, agreed to modify in order to allow the free transfer of the software with re-sale of the system.

CarrierScan for filers provides on-access file scanning with ONTAP 6.1. When a file of a type you specify is accessed by the user, the filer asks a registred virus scanning server to scan the file before the user gets it.

Seems like they could send an SNMP trap to another computer and have it do the scan "E.J.

RE: BudTool transition news
by Mike Sphar 10 Apr '01

10 Apr '01

For what it's worth, we had pretty much the same experiences with Legato. Terrible support, buggy software, etc. However, I'm informed by our backups administrator that recently, Legato has changed their tune quite a bit. Their customer support has been much more responsive and helpful, and the latest releases (v6?) is their most stable and reliable release in years. I'm still regarding them with a bit of suspicion due to how often we were burned in the past, but they do appear to be making a strong effort to better themselves after their recent financial upheavals. -- Mike Sphar - Sr Systems Administrator - Engineering Support Services - Remedy Corporation BOFH, GWP, MCP, MCP+I, MCSE, BFD -----Original Message----- From: neil lehrer [mailto:nlehrer@ibb.gov] Sent: Monday, April 09, 2001 10:40 AM To: Marion Hakanson Cc: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: BudTool transition news fyi. we weren't budtool users, but were legato and wanted to use networker with our new filers. never got anywhere. tech support was apathetic, no followup, they closed cases that were not done. we think they lost the ndmp recipe. we gave up.

Old thread revisited (*was RE: Server capacity and performance)
by Joe Luchtenberg 10 Apr '01

10 Apr '01

In searching through the archives for capacity planning tidbits, I uncovered the following posted last March, in part, by Paul W. Brosseau of NetApp: "...Whenever your disks get above 75% full you should be considering whether you need more capacity or whether you need to delete some data. This is true in all filesystem environments." Link to his complete post: http://teaparty.mathworks.com:1999/toasters/5323.html 1. Is this figure documented anywhere? Is it a standard industry rule of thumb? 2. Does the 75% include Snapshots? TIA.

restoring veritas NDMP backup with restore
by Bruce Arden 10 Apr '01

10 Apr '01

Does anyone know how to restore a Veritas NetBackup NDMP backup using restore (or ufsrestore)? Its quite easy with a single tape backup (you do a "mt -f nrst0a fsf 1; mt -f nrst0a fsr 2" to skip over the Veritas header). But after skipping the header on a second tape, the format doesn't seem to be the same as a normal dump continuation tape. - Bruce -- Bruce Arden arden(a)nortelnetworks.com Nortel Networks, London Rd, Harlow, England +44 1279 40 2877
