Networker Backup to Disk
I am looking for good instructions on how to setup disk to disk backup using the diskbackup module in Networker 7.4 SP1 Build 335
I have followed the Admin Guide and the Install guide. I have the following setup so far:
Backup groups are created
My default Stage has been modified for my network shares that will be my storage areas.
My Devices have been built
Each device is apart of my media pool I called DskDskPool
When I start the backup I get "Waiting for writeable media" I tried to lable the three Devices but it comes back access denied. I can access these shares from my legato server with no problem. I can create and delete objects.
The legato documentation in this area is really bad. I followed 3 whitepages and non of them really show how to actually use what thay have setup...
Thanks...

yes my data source has all three groups and under selection criteria all target Devices are selected:
\\legato-dsk-dsk\E
\\legato-dsk-dsk\F
\\legato-dsk-dsk\G
These are all mounted under devices and are apart of the dskdskpool- If I understood correctly you do not have devices labeled in pool and reason is because you get access denied - is that correct? Be aware that not the same as you access is used when NW service runs. Actually, having disk devices mounted via share is not recommended at all. Those should be local devices. Docs are really fine, but I think you went wrong direction...

Yes i am getting access denied. They do kinda label because i can see each drive is in the dskdskpool...
I have tried to map the drives to make them local but that does not work at all.
What Doc do you reccomend? I hope I can write to a share. Because I really have no way of adding this server directly to my legato box.
Does anyone out there know if it has to be a local attached. The docs I have show a unc path.....

Remove those disks from pools.... you really don't need that anyway and try to label then.

that does not work at all.
Disks are local not by mapping them, but by presenting them for example via SAN.

You can write to a share last time I checked, but it is not recommended.

That would be highly recommended. UNC goes over the network anyway thus defeats purpose in very start... you could simply call those backups over the network then to disks on the machine owning disks. Kalispell1

I setup a disk to disk device on the local legato server. I am able to label it and mount to it...... So that works just fine.
When I try to access a remote server will all my storage I am getting the access denied. In the event viewer It looks as though it is logging in and logging out with sucess.. but it still says access denied.
I need to know. Can you write to a UNC path? Or is it really not possible. I will be very unhappy because I now have a server with 7TB and no way to write to it.....

Kalispell,
As an alternative, have you considered turning that server with 7TB into a Storage Node?
If it's a NAS device and if it supports iSCSI LUNs, you can also try mapping iSCSI LUNs to the Server directly.
You may have better overall success this way, instead of backing up to a file system remote mount point.
