IGNITE BACKUP

Tajammul_Ahmed — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 09:54:29 GMT

Hi Friends,

I have UNIX server in Cluster environment, and my UNIX daily file system backup will run on Data Protector server which is running on windows 2003 operation system, and tape library have been installed on the windows server only.

Is there any way I can mount the tape drive installed on window server (in same subnet), to take ignite backup for Unix operating system.

Please send me the steps, or suggest me the alternate, for ignite backup.

Thanks and best regards

Why just not setup network Ignite.
You can use separate server for storing archives or use the following aproach for backups: from 2 node cluster - server1 will be backed up on server 2 and 2 on 1.

regards,

No, Ignite does not work with networked tape devices, only local.
