Would other backup tools suffer the same problem then? If this is a filesystem problem I would expect so. To the original poster: how long does it take Barfserve to restore a 60 GB filesystem with 10M files? As you can tell, I'm no fan of Arcserve. Kelly J. Lipp Storage Solutions Specia

Re: 3570 Volumes status=empty. Why?

2000-09-20 Thread Kelly J. Lipp
What is the reusedelay parameter set to on that pool? That's the number of days a volume will stay empty before being deleted from a pool. For primary pools, typically 0 is good number of days. For DR pools, perhaps longer to allow for volume movement from on-site to off-site. Kelly J.
