New micromanual – LinuxVTL and NetWorker

Having spent the last several days of my holiday clearing lantana from my property, I needed to take a break from yard work and spent the day writing a new micromanual.

Titled “Configuring LinuxVTL on CentOS for NetWorker”, this micromanual focuses on providing a start-to-finish description of the process required to install and configure the LinuxVTL software and then subsequently get it configured with NetWorker – in this case, NetWorker 7.6 SP1.

If you’re interested in using the LinuxVTL for lab/testing purposes, but needed a more comprehensive guide on getting it set up and running, this micromanual should get you over the line.

To download, go to the micromanuals page and fill out the registration form.

Aside – Top Stories for February

Close enough together that I have to declare them a tie, the top stories for February were:

It’s fair to say that Carry a jukebox with you is remaining a big hit all the time – a bit like the “NSR peer information” story, and so February will be the last month that it gets included in consideration for top articles.

Towards the end of the month, with the release of NetWorker 7.5 SP2, there was quite a lot of interest in the articles “NetWorker 7.5.2 released” and “NetWorker 7.5.2 – What’s it got?“. Obviously if you’ve got Windows 2008 or Windows 7 clients that you need to backup, 7.5 SP2 is almost a no-brainer – you’ll really need to be using it. So far, based on my testing on Linux, 7.5 SP2 is looking fairly good for that platform too. As always, everyone should read the release notes before deciding whether to upgrade their environments.

micromanual: NetWorker Power User Guide to nsradmin

I’m pleased to say that the first micromanual for the NetWorker Information Hub is now available for download.

The micromanual homepage has been updated to provide download details. If you have a good working knowledge of NetWorker, and are to learn about how nsradmin works, and so how to get more experience with automation and scripting, you should find something of value in the micromanual. The intended audience for the NetWorker Power User Guide to nsradmin is to provide NetWorker administrators who have a firm grasp of NetWorker, but mostly at the GUI level, with a solid starting point for learning nsradmin. It starts with a basic overview, then introduces concepts surrounding scripting, bulk updates, etc.

There is a registration process for the micromanual, but this has nothing to do with providing your name or email address to any third party. Instead, it’s about having a means of touching base with people who have downloaded it to let them know if any updates are made. (And that’s the only reason, nothing else.)

This micromanual contains examples for both Windows and Unix/Linux systems, so hopefully there’s something in there for every NetWorker Power User.

Happy reading!
