This is an appeal for information. I’ve heard conflicting stories and I can’t get rock solid clarification from any party. Despite Oracle initially announcing that Sun would continue to OEM NetWorker from EMC, I’ve subsequently been told by several Sun OEM customers that this has been recently abandoned. Since I’ve heard of Sun (under Oracle) dropping [...] I have, on a few occasions, been puzzled as to how to downgrade NetWorker on Mac OS X. There’s a couple of distinct issues that I’ve come up against, and I thought I’d outline them here now that I’ve fully resolved how to do it. The first is that when NetWorker installs, it’s meant to install [...] NetWorker 7.5 SP3 has been released today, and with it comes a selection of important changes, including: ADV_FILE devices now use enhanced load balancing selection criteria; in short, NetWorker will start new backups on the device that has the least NetWorker data written to it; While there’s no native NetWorker management app for the iPad (or iPod Touch/iPhone), there are some management options available for you. On the Windows front, there are RDP clients that I’m told work quite well, though I’ve never got around to buying them myself. On the Unix front, if you’ve got an iPad and a [...] I had been aware for a while from an NDA conversation that these changes were on the way, but of course have not been able to discuss them. However, with EMC opening up discussion on the EMC Community Forum – i.e., out in public, I now feel that I can at least discuss how excited I [...] There’s been much speculation as to whether Sun under Oracle would retain the EMC NetWorker OEM arrangement. Finally there’s some details on Sun’s website under the banner “Sun and EMC“. In it, they state: Sun will continue to OEM the EMC NetWorker software for backup and recovery which enables Sun to continue offering the EMC software as [...] While initially I had some success with Snow Leopard and Mac OS X, I’m increasingly finding that it’s just boiling down to being too random for reliable backups. So far problems mainly seem to occur after a machine has gone to sleep and woken up multiple times – or had its network location changed multiple [...] Over at a website called ignore the code, there’s a fascinating and insightful piece at the moment about removing features. This is often a controversial topic in software design and development, and Lukas Mathis handles the topic in his typically excellent style. In particular, the summation of the problem through illustrations of two “Swiss Army Knives” [...] I thought it about time that I cited the two key reasons why, if faced with a choice between NetWorker and NetBackup, I would choose NetWorker every time. As you might expect, given my focus on backup as insurance, both of these reasons are firmly focused on recovery. In fact, so much so that I still [...] Looking at the stats both for this new site and the previous site, I’ve compiled a list of the top 10 read articles on The NetWorker Blog for 2009. The top 3 of course match the three articles that routinely turn out to be the most popular on any given month, which speaks something of [...] |

4 hours ago @iCoolen Seems to be affecting about 8 or 9 people I know at the moment. At least I know it's not just me, thankfully :-)
