Hi,

We're using Nw 8.2.3.3 on 18 DAGS , we do backup with NMM and we're facing big issues with GLR

During all time trying to get the best form our environment , we've moved 1 Data Domain nic and 1 Networker NIC to Exchange VLAN

We've also considered to put a dedicated server, but we're not sure how it will behave with deduplication and old backups.

After opening an SR with EMC we're using NSR_EXCH_CHECK=YES on our full long retention backups, so we do 5 incr + 2 fulls each week.

NSR_EXCH_CHECK=YES doesn't behave well on some dags and backup fail after 48 h, so another SR with EMC suggested to launch backups right after exchange finished data base defrag, so vss snap should be healthy that time.

These are my concerns :

What is the Best practice to be sure backups are consistent ?

How do you face this in your environments?

To add to this GLR may work on 2 server , but same save restore may fail on other 12, I found nwfs path affected that but I'm stilll facin issues.

Did any of you face this issues ? did any of you move forward to NW 9 and found more reliability ?
