Migrating VEEAM Backup Data

June 5, 2018 by Dan B. Lee Leave a Comment

If you want to move backups from one location to another, you're going to need to make sure you have some things configured properly. Here are a few things I learned while migrating to a larger storage area for my data. It's definitely easier, arguably faster, to migrate data using ROBOCOPY. Even though you'll have more thread available to migrate data using ROBOCOPY, you're only as fast as your storage and your processing power. A big copy and paste of your data using windows won't be much … [Read more...] about Migrating VEEAM Backup Data

Using ROBOCOPY switches for faster, more reliable data moves

June 5, 2018 by Dan B. Lee 1 Comment

For a lot of big data moves that don't require special software but need to be logged, you can us ROBOCOPY, a built in file moving command that will not only let you log the moves but also enabling a multi-threaded structure for faster moves. Use this command with the following switches for the fastest possible Robocopy without interruption: robocopy C:\Folder1 C:\Folder2 /TEE /LOG:"C:\Test\log.txt" /E /FP /R:5 /W:1 /MT:128 robocopy C:\Folder1 C:\Folder2 is the base of your script. This … [Read more...] about Using ROBOCOPY switches for faster, more reliable data moves

HP Servers: Check for number of Drive Bays

February 22, 2017 by Dan B. Lee Leave a Comment

I came across this little issue while trying to find out how many empty drive bays there were on a remote server. The HP CLI (Command Line Interface) came to the rescue. Here's the commands and the output I used. Note, on later versions of the HP Utility, you can also see the drive bays, but this CLI will get right down to business. Figure out your array slot by entering the following command: => ctrl all show The command response is below: Smart Array P410i in Slot 0 (Embedded) (sn: … [Read more...] about HP Servers: Check for number of Drive Bays

Connect VMware to Nimble SAN

February 25, 2014 by Dan B. Lee Leave a Comment

In this post, I'm going to go over the quickest way to get your Nimble SAN connected to a VMware ESXi environment through vCenter. This method will give you a volume where you can store VMDK attached storage for your guests. Some of these steps will be for vCenter 4. Please pay close attention to my notations as some items will not be necessary with later versions of VMware, or later versions will have options in the GUI instead of in the CLI. This tutorial assumes you have healthy environments … [Read more...] about Connect VMware to Nimble SAN

The following data sources are not replicating to Barracuda Cloud Storage and will not be archived offsite:

February 7, 2014 by Dan B. Lee Leave a Comment

Barracuda Firmware Version: Firmware: 5.4.04.60551 I had a little bit of a panic while changing monthly backups to offline only, something I talked about in my post called Barracuda Offsite Vaulting – Offsite Only Features earlier this week. After calling support, assured me this was a bug. All of my sources were, in fact, being replicated to the cloud and I had nothing to worry about. The tech I worked with promised me a link to the bug. I'll post that soon. Here's what I'm talking … [Read more...] about The following data sources are not replicating to Barracuda Cloud Storage and will not be archived offsite:

Barracuda Offsite Vaulting – Offsite Only Features

February 5, 2014 by Dan B. Lee 1 Comment

There are some new and rather exciting features in the latest firmware revisions for the Barracuda Appliances. Simply put, you can choose to only keep your monthly and yearly backups offsite in your Barracuda cloud storage, whereas before your monthly and yearly backups needed to remain on both local and cloud storage. Here's how Barracuda describes the process: Offsite vaulting leverages Barracuda's replication technology to offload up to twelve monthly and seven yearly revisions to an offsite … [Read more...] about Barracuda Offsite Vaulting – Offsite Only Features

Operating System: Windows Server 2000 Storage Device: Overland Storageworks NEO 2000 Backup Software: Veritas Backup Exec v. 9 I try to offer insight regarding some of the most recent tools of the trade, but sometimes my long searches and troubleshooting warrant some articles that will help some of the more dated and antiquated devices.

It's basically a 29 slot tape library with two HP tape drives and 1 slot that … [Read more...] about Overland Storage: Error 8001 – Cartridge Load Recovery Failure

P2000 Storageworks Authentication Failed

September 12, 2012 by Dan B. Lee 3 Comments

TL;DR - IE8, IE9, and Chrome do not work when trying to log into the Storage Management Utility of your HP2000 Storageworks SAN. I ran into an issue tonight that almost made me pull my hair out. I recently inherited the responsibility of an HP P2000 Storageworks SAN. I found the IP addresses of the controllers and after adding a NIC connected to the appropriate vlan I tried the username and password given to me. Much to my dismay, the user/pass didn't work. P2000 G3 backdoor … [Read more...] about P2000 Storageworks Authentication Failed
