Hullo,

	We are also looking at Saber's Menu for DOS, Menu for Windows,

Subject: Arcserve volume exclusion & tape naming
Organization: Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 1992 16:19:46 GMT

Recently we began using Arcserve for server backups on our NW
3.11 server.  The hard disk is divided into two volumes, SYS and
DATA, that have about 150 megs between them.  In addition there
is a CD-ROM mounted as another volume.

We decided that, rather than using a more complex archiving
scheme, it would be most convenient to us to do a complete backup
of SYS and DATA each night, appending to the end of a single 1.2-
gig tape that we would leave in the drive all week.  Each week we
would replace the tape and format a new one.  After about four
weeks we would recycle the first tape and use it again.  So at
any given time we would have tapes of nightly full server backups
for the past month or so.  We have this set up as an "unattended
job," as this seemed the only way to get the tape cycling scheme
we preferred.

At this point I'm wondering two things ...

1)  When our CD-ROM was offline, we were able to set up the
server backup as a single job.  However, when we brought the CD-
ROM back up, we found that Arcserve proceeded to back it up after
doing SYS and DATA, and there seemed to be no way in the menu to
exclude the CD-ROM (or any other volume).  As a workaround I
created two jobs in the "unattended jobs" menu, one to do SYS and
one to do DATA, and timed them five minutes apart so they execute
sequentially.  Is there any way to combine them in a single job
and exclude the CD-ROM volume?

2)  Is there any way to set up an unattended job without
specifying the name of the tape to write to (i.e. to accept
whatever tape is in the drive)?  If we give our four tapes
different names (week_1, week_2, etc), it is then necessary to go
in and edit the job to reflect the new tape name when we change
tapes.  The only other way around it I can see is to give all the
tapes the same name ("server_backup") and distinguish them by
what is written on their labels.  This, however, seems to open
the door for some prospect of confusing the tapes.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Ok if you don't want the book just have a look at INTERxxx.ZIP.

	Ok, I'll bite (since no-one else has).  Novell _IS_ working closely
	with the IETF to resolve interoperability issues.  The problem was
	(and is) that 3rd party vendors tried to anticipate how we (Novell)
	would define how IPX operates over WAN links, including PPP.
	Unfortunately, they were wrong.  We have recently release the
	MultiProtocol Router and WAN Links v2.0 which runs IPX and a
	new IPX protocol called IPXWAN over any WAN link, including PPP.
	I must say that I'd be truly amazed if 3rd parties _had_ correctly
	anticipated IPXWAN :-).  IPXWAN has been published as an informational
	RFC (RFC1362).  The IETF PPP Extensions Working Group is working hard
	toward resolving interoperability issues as I type, of which Novell
	is a _very_ active member.

What they don't tell you is that if a function passes a null pointer to

also cause the problem.  How many times have you mis-declared something

So, don't neccesarily buy the excuse that "it's your hardware."  Sometimes
it's a programmer who wasn't too careful with an infrequently used portion
of the code.

Oh, btw, I've been having a problem with the LPR gateway.  We have 5 novell
queues redirecting to 5 unix print queues on a CDC4360.  Those print queues,
however, are held off-line most of the time, because they are all serviced
by one printer.  When the gateway comes up, it checks a) is the print queue
there? and b) are you on line?  If the printer is off-line (in it's opinion),
it sits there an hammers on the queue, polling it in a busy-wait loop until
it does come on line.  

Needless to say, the CDC doesn't like that.  It generages about 30k worth
of error messages every hour.

Novell told me to file a trouble call.  However, they want $150 for the 
privilege of talking to someone who's employed by Novell, inc..  Getting 
a government agency to push a $150 purchase request through is as close to
impossible as you can get.

Any solutions out there?

Novell also released a PSERVER.VAP for NW 2.15c.  I think you can download
it free or get it for around $20.  This will allow you to print to logged off
workstations.  We use to run it till we upgraded to 3.11 at my work.

We had a small fire drill regarding VPiX on SCO UNIX and its
interaction with NetWare NFS some 18 months or more ago.  We discovered VPiX
has some very strange quirks with regard to its interaction with
external (ie. outside-of-the-DOS-box-world) file systems that are
mounted in to the UNIX systems file system via NFS. The symptom in
that case was that a DOS "DIR" command on a drive mapped out to the
external NFS mounted file system would show no files, even though there
were some. Oddly enough, a "DIR *.*" would show all the files quite
normally!

We set it all up in house and took the problem apart. This is a while back
now but as I recall, our analysis showed that VPiX was dependent upon
something that was technically broken in most (all?) UNIX NFS server
implementations. We were behaving ourselves per the spec and being punished
for it because of something that worked perfectly in the broken environment
but happened to fail in the by-the-book environment. Situations like
this are pretty much the norm in so called multi-vendor, heterogeneous
environments. :-) Our resolution was in NFS 1.2 (this was back in the days
of NetWare NFS 1.1).

The situation you are are seeing is no doubt a similar deal. I think
the problem was either in the LOOKUP or READDIR NFS replies. If you
wish to persue it, contact our support group through 1-800-NETWARE
and log a call. It will get looked at.

An alternative is something called No Stop Network from Nonstop Networks
Limited.  This is a client based solution.  You run a TSR that mirrors
all writes from one drive onto a drive on another server and thus keeps
them in synch.  It has other nice features like popping up a msg when
the primary drive fails and it switches to the alternate etc.  By drives
I mean network drives that you are connected to.  We only eval'd the
product on a limited test bed so I cannot comment on how good it is
in production.  It does however double your network bandwidth requirement
since each write goes to two servers.  They claim to be network software
independent.  The brochure says they provide level 3 fault tolerance.
They can be reached at (212) 481-8488.
