is it connected to Celerra ? If it is ..have you run "server_devconfig server_2 -create -scsi -all"
substitude server_2 for correct datamover. I remember you were asking about using server_archive command ..is that what you are planning on using ?

Я уже разобрался и настрил бэкапирование файловой системы на ленту, теперь не могу разобраться со следующим:
могу ли я настроить команду server_archive таким образом, чтобы она запускалась автоматически (к примеру 2 раза в неделю) для обновления ее архивных файлов, которые я, собственно, и пишу на ленточную библиотеку.
Спасибо за помощь.368

I'll prefer to run a Probe before creating the devices for Tape drive - also, for Tape I'll prefer to put only "nondisks" in place of "all" -
server_devconfig server_x -probe -scsi -nondisks
server_devconfig server_x -create-scsi -nondisks
server_devconfig server_x -list-scsi -nondisks
Once the Tape drives are visible to NAS, one can configure the NDMP backup software accordingly to get it backed up or use server_archive command on NAS to do so, if no NDMP solution is available.
I understand, you are suggesting accordingly in russian.
Thanks,

just understand that this is by no means the functionality that a full backup software will provide
For example you will all have to do manually:
- robotics control - i.e. moving and (un)loading of tapes
- inventory
- error management and alerting
- tape rotation
- tape labelling
- protection - i.e. the backup software knows not to overwrite tapes before they are expired
Also be carefull if you backup is larger than a single tape (spanning) - I dont think a simple server_archive in a crontab job can handle this.
While obviously EMC (Legato) Networker is closest to us, we do support a wide range of NDMP backup software. If you are on a budget Backup Express or SyncSort or Bakbone are probably the smallest ones.
Just be carefull to know what you need - some of the smaller backup software packages dont support all the NDMP options like VBB, DDS or integrated checkpoints

A: Sure you can use built-in cron scheduler provided on Celerra control station. Login as nasadmin and run crontab -e. The scheduler will open in vi and you need to add somthing similar to this:
in this example i run backup script on Saturdays at 8 pm and output stdin and stdout to backupscript.log file, backupscript.sh will contain your server_archive commands
take a look at this page for more examples: http://www.adminschoice.com/docs/crontab.htm

Да Павел ..ето легко сделать используя crontab котопыи идет с control station. Посмотри на ссылку наверху...там есть примеры как едо делать. Пиши если есть еше вопросы.
