Title: Backups
Post by: flashharry82 on April 10, 2006, 08:40:50 AM

Do the backups just not happen over easter? If there's no one here do they just miss them?

I tend to just email the c2kbackup email address and tell them what days there'll be no one here to put the tapes in. I think it's time they moved over to NAS (Network Attached Storage). I use it on the Legacy system and never have to worry about putting tapes in.

On the subject of Back-ups, does your SIMS back-up give you any bother?  Ours routinely fails twice a week, always on Thursdays and the other a totally random one.



And have you all got your new tapes for the C2K back-ups??  I'm still waiting on mine, and we were due to get them around Christmas time.

Hi



I was told last week to buy new tapes DSS4 for the simms by C2k.  This apparently this is the cause for backups failing, not enough space on the existing ones!!!!

A while back we had a few problems with sims backups, turns out a couple of the tapes were faulty. Had to buy a whole new set, since then no problems.



Si, try logging a call and asking them to maby format the Thursday tape and try it again, that has helped here in the past too.

UPDATE



The tape drive finally kicked the bucket and was replaced.  The funny thing was, it didnt work either til I ran a tape cleaner through it.  Well, today I got postive print outs for both back-ups for the first time in ages!!  



W00t!!
