Fawke Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Hi there. We have recently purchased a new AIT2 drive that came with Retrospect Single Server 6.5. However it was for a server with exchange and SQL, and agents didnt come with Retrospect software. We have a installation of Veritas Backup exec 9.0 and this has the agents. What we do is use veritas to backup to a folder on a local disk and use Retrospect to backup these files to AIT2 (as veritas doesnt support AIT2 over firewire). If there are any implications i should know about by doing this, i take it if we restored the veritas files using retrospect as should be ok. Anyone with any thoughts on this much appreciated. Also, what are the relations with catalog files? if the whole server went down and we had to re-install retrospect, would the recycle backup to AIT2 be sufficient to restore the files? or do we need to backup the catalog file also? Thanks, sorry its a long-winded one Regards Fawke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Even though those files belong to the product I will not name, we should have no problem restoring them. It is just data to Retrospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawke Posted March 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 OK, thanks for that, apologies for offending you, retrospect is a personal favourite of mine but try getting an organisation to spend uneccessary money ;-) you know the score. Any comment on catalog files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Retrospect can always rebuild our catalog files or "restore them" in the cause of multi-tape backup sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
