Re: Omniback -Reply

We also use OmniBack II to back up our F630 and F760, and I agree that it is inefficient across NFS and does not preserve ACL's. Netapp discusses several alternatives that use NDMP (Workstation Solutions "Quick Restore", Veritas and Legato). Though just as inefficient, an NT backup software would preserve the ACL's, though I don't know whether the restored data would have any unix permissions from a mixed qtree or not. ADSM has also been mentioned by some on this board. We are currently investigating alternative backup software, any recommendations or advice? >>> Philip Thomas <thomas(a)act.sps.mot.com> 05/22/00 11:30am >>> Yes, we use Omniback to backup our 540's & 330's across NFS for the last 5+ years. Of course, it's inefficient across NFS compared to having a "client" on filer like that for Legato and one would loose CIFS acls. -- Begin original message -- > From: "Uros Lampret" <uros.lampret(a)ourspace.si> > Date: Mon, 22 May 2000 09:03:22 +0200 > Subject: Omniback > To: <toasters(a)mathworks.com> > -- End original message -- ---philip thomas

RE: Interaction of /etc/hosts.equiv and telnet.hosts option

The documentation can be found likewise, in an online "Changes to the System Administrator's Guide" for things that didn't make it into the Systems Administrator's Guide. The justification for the change was to provide more consistent access control (and "trusted.hosts" is an alias for "telnet.hosts", to help transition to the new meaning of the option). As Bruce points out, per-protocol access control is desired, and we have someone actively working on that. ...Tim Thompson...Network Appliance, Inc...

Hi all! Does omniback support nt clients? If, use one as frontend for NTFS data.

RE: software distribution with NDMPcopy/SnapMirror over WANs?
by Aaron.Sims＠netapp.com 22 May '00

One thing that SnapMirror can do, that NDMPcopy and rsync won't do is, not show the changes until the entire SnapMirror operation is complete. With NDMPcopy and rsync, as each changed file is copied, the change is seen immediately on the destination, whereas with SnapMirror, the changes are all made at once. Depending on the type of data and the schedule of sync'ing, this may or may not be desirable.

To backup a filer from omniback, just nfs mount the filer and give the verbose path to omniback. ********** DON'T FORGET TO EXCLUDE THE .snapshot directory!!******** Otherwise your backup will NEVER complete. >>> "Uros Lampret" <uros.lampret(a)ourspace.si> 05/22/00 03:03am >>> Does any body know how to backup a filer with Omniback.

software distribution with NDMPcopy/SnapMirror over WANs?
by Thaller Horst (MDCA Villach) 22 May '00

22 May '00

Who has experiences with software distribution/syncronisation over WANs with NDMPcopy or SnapMirror? We have a software pool at our master site, where we maintain our software (~ 500 GB) and then we distribute the changes to our client sites. Our actual rcp/ssh-based solution has several drawbacks: * No automatic syncronisation * Transfer of whole sw-packages only * Only Unix-packages supported (no NT packages) My idea is to do this job with NDMPcopy or SnapMirror, but I have a lot of questions: Can I export (ro) the mirrored volumes? (NDMP, SnapMirror) It´s possible to tunnel NDMP/SnapMirror with ssh? Can I mirror more than one site with SnapMirror? Cascaded distribution? Is there a commercial product? best regards, Horst Thaller Infineon Technologies Microelectronic Design Centers Austria GmbH Design Center Villach Siemensstrasse 2, A-9500 Villach Tel. ++43 4242 305-6212 Fax ++43 4242 305-6389 email: Horst.Thaller(a)infineon.com internet: www.infineon.com/ezmvi

Wiping and setting up a system.
by Shaun Erickson 19 May '00

I would like to destroy all volumes on an F330 (with four shelves, fully populated with 4Gb disks), and then create a single new root volume and install 5.3.5R2 (which *does* run on an F330). I'm sure I can destroy the existing volumes (I'm good at destroying things), but it's not clear to me how to then install Ontap onto bare metal (I've only ever upgraded a filer before). Is there a simple recipe for doing this? TIA, -ste -- Desk: (908) 582-7629 Pager: (800) 756-1133 Cell: (908) 672-6456
