Is there a way of finding the amount of total data I am backing up?

finding total amount of data being backed up

Re: finding total amount of data being backed up
If you have already done a full backup you can see the session report in: GUI > Internal database > sessions > Right click session > properties > messages. At the end you can see a summary:
Backup Statistics:
===========================================
Mbytes Total ................. 122 MB

Re: finding total amount of data being backed up
You can check with Reporting from GUI >> Report on Session in a time frame (client statistics, list of sessions, etc)

Re: DataProtector 5.1 , Velocis daemon error - the daemon is probably not running (HPUX 11.23)
To check the DB use "omnidbutil -extended", prefferably when nothing is runnig. If that comes back clean the DB considers it itself ok.
For Maintenance you can use the following bunch, some need exclusive Access, so no open Sessions or GUIs.
omnidb -strip
omnidbutil -fixmpos
omnidbutil -clear
omnidbutil -purge_failed_copies
omnidbutil -purge -sessions <Days> -force
omnidbutil -purge -days <Days> -force
omnidbutil -purge -messages <Days> -force
omnidbutil -purge -mpos -force
omnidbutil -purge -dcbf -force
omnidbutil -purge -daily -force
omnidbutil -purge -filenames -force
omnidbutil -fixmpos

Re: Data Protector issues with Exchange 2010 DAG
Hi,
The error is related with VSS copy, but we verify that Data Protector cannot copy a passive EDB, you must select only active mailbox databases on DAG.
This configuration is OK in your environment?

Data Protector 9.0 and StoreOnce
I am in the process of determining if my company should continue using Data Protector or go with another data backup vendor. What I need to find out is if Data Protector can do data deduplication and if so do I have to purchase a piece of hardware (StoreOnce) to accomplish that goal or can I use hardware (SAN) that I currently own.
Does anyone have information that would help with my decisions?
Thanks for any help.

Re: Data Protector 9.0 and StoreOnce
Hi Jeffrey, DP can use both HW and SW to to deduplication. You can use your existing HW to store data and have it deduplicated, name for this is "StoreOnce Software"
Regards,

Re: Data Protector 9.0 and StoreOnce
Is the StoreOnce software a different product that I would need to purchase to get it to work with Data Protector?
↧
Re: Data Protector 9.0 and StoreOnce
No need to purshase software as it is already on the Installation Server (just make sure you have the latest storeOnce software patch) I think the 1st TB is free then you will have to use "Advance backup to disk" licenses.

Saving Changes from Cell manager are not persistant
Hello All,
I'm relatively new to DP, so this may be a simple answer. I have 2 issues both surrounding saving changes with in scheduling. I have a report that I have created, when I visit the properties of said report and go to schedule I see 2 entries 1 hour apart from each other. I have tried to remove the second entry by highlighting, delete then apply. It seemingly goes away. I refresh or close reopen DP and the 2nd instance is still gone. Problem is the following day...everyday (I've done it 3 times) the report runs the 2nd time and I go in to DP and sure enough the entry is there. The same issue is seen for backups, I have a backup with 2 entries in schedule and after deleting I see the same problem.
At first I thought that perhaps it was another manager open but I looped through the list of all my clients looking for manager.exe using powershell
foreach ($srv in $servers) {
$srv | out-host
Get-WmiObject win32_process -ComputerName $srv | Where {$_.name -eq 'manager.exe'} | out-host
}
And only found the 1
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Re: Data Protector issues with Exchange 2010 DAG
If Exchange and DataProtector are configured properly you can Backup both, active or passive Copy.
We use Backup passive copy with failover to active in case no passive copy is availble.
Needed some hotfixes in our case but works fine now.

Re: Saving Changes from Cell manager are not persistant
Which Version of DataProtector do you use and in case you use 8 or 9, do you use the classic or the Advanced Schededuler?
Advanced Scheduler still has several Bugs and doesn't work as expected in many cases.

Can you share the Hotfix-ID and what exactly it fixes?

Re: Saving Changes from Cell manager are not persistant
Thanks for the reply svollrat,
It's version 9, I'm sorry I don't know what the distinction is between classic and advanced in this context. Below link is a shot of the entry.

Re: Saving Changes from Cell manager are not persistant
missread your request, for Reports there is only the classic Scheduler :-/
You can try to "Reset" Schedule, save and newly create the desired Schedule, might work.
If not, I'd check the Config-File directly, can be found in <DPDir>/server/rptschedules/ and is named like the Reporting-Group. If that lists two Schedules you can clear the undesired one directly there.
Make sure to restart Scheduler wiht omnitrig -stop/-start after you did this.

Re: Saving Changes from Cell manager are not persistant
By the Way, the Delete-Button only removes the one Day currently selected, not a whole Set.
You can create a schedule in fashion "daily at 10:00" but you can only remove single days via GUI, not the whole range.
For that Reset the Schedule and start from scratch or edit the Config-File.
↧
Re: Saving Changes from Cell manager are not persistant
Thanks,
You are absolutely correct, It was my understanding of the schedule that was at fault. I've modified the 2 scheduled config files which seemingly has resolved my issue.
Here are the locations of my scheduled configs
\ProgramData\OmniBack\Config\Server\rptschedules
\ProgramData\OmniBack\Config\Server\Barschedules\VEAgent
Thanks again Svollrat
