Turbocharged EMC NetWorker, v1.1

Today I’m announcing the availability of Turbocharged EMC NetWorker, v1.1. As you can imagine from the version number, this is an incremental update rather than a substantial revision of the previous document. The change log for the updated manual is as follows:

  • Added details on the nsradmin -C option for automated client probes
  • Added details for reporting on VBA backups using mminfo
  • Added details for the dbgcommand utility
  • Moved the index of tables and table of figures to the end of the document
  • Various corrections

Turbocharged EMC NetWorker v1.1 replaces the previous version of the document, and can be downloaded from the same location as before.

And now a small note

When I publish a manual, I make it free on the condition that downloaders supply their names and email addresses. I do this so that if it turns out there’s a need to issue an urgent correction or notification to users I can do so. I haven’t needed to do this yet, and I hope not to, but that’s why I ask for it. From a privacy perspective, I do not use those email addresses for any other purpose, and they have always remained completely quarantined from public/cloud email servers. I also do not make those email addresses available to anyone else (third parties, employers, etc.).

Cheers!

    1. Hi!

      Good catch, thank-you. In this case it was to demonstrate an improperly formatted command under Windows anyway. However, I’ll make a note to correct the screen shot for the next edition. Very much appreciated!

      Cheers,
      Preston.

  1. Page 36: quote EMC engineering: “(unix) time is not a valid time format” it has to be:

    TOD = time of day (which is of the form hh[:mm[:ss]] (or hhmm)
    DATE = A date is a specific month and day, and possibly a year. The acceptable formats are mm/dd[/yy] and monthname dd[, yy]. If omitted, the year defaults to
    the current year.
    Day = A day of the week may be specified
    RELATIVE TIME = Specifications relative to the current time are also accepted. The format is [number] unit; acceptable units are decade, year, quarter, month, fortnight,
    week, day, hour, minute, and second

    Because i had a open Ticket with this issue:
    # recover
    Current working directory is /root/
    recover> changetime 1418425199
    6496:recover: cannot browse /root/ as of `Fr 12 Dez 2014 23:59:59 CET’
    recover> changetime 1418425200
    6496:recover: cannot browse /root/ as of `Sa 13 Dez 2014 23:59:59 CET’
    recover> changetime 1418425201
    6496:recover: cannot browse /root/ as of `Sa 13 Dez 2014 00:00:01 CET’
    recover>

    1. Hi,

      I don’t see reference to the recover utility on page 36 (actual) or page 36 (numbered) in the April edition of the guide. Can you be more specific about where you’ve noticed that?

      I also don’t recall suggesting Unix time (or nsavetime) could be used as a recovery time – but please let me know the context if I have.

      Cheers!
