johndavey posted: Daily report sent to email
Is there a way to send the daily alerts report to an email address? Or instead of being emailed for every alert get a summary emailed every day? We geet about 100 emails a day and all o fthe admins have just created folders with rules and no one ever reads them. Our management wants emails for completed jobs which is kinda goofy but it is what it is. I would like to get one email a day with ...

Marianne van den Berg commented on: Reload Solaris 10 operating system on Master/Media server.
Hi Willie Please log that 'pre-emptive' call with Symantec support and ask the engineer to check your planned steps. Your idea sounds/looks good. The only place where I see a possible problem is over here: make a copy of this /catalog somewhere - so I copy the data out. The 'somewhere' is important and the method used to copy the data. If you are going to ftp the ...

QuietLeni posted: SQL Server Table Generator - Can we have the UPDATE and WRITE Components included again, like they were in 7.1 SP1?
Dear Symantec, Thank you for the improvements that you have done with the Integration Component Generators. I particularly like the fact that EVERY Integration Component is a Multiple Generator project. However, when using the SQL Server Table Generator, I put in the parameters to connect to a table, but it did not include components to write to or update the table! I could do ...

Tim Miller Dyck commented on: Data Lifecycle Management in BE 2012
Hi Anker, it is very helpful to have you and other BE engineers looking at the daily USB drive rotation use case -- thank you! This is a common backup scenario among my clients so I am quite interested in getting a good strategy for this. I'd like to check I understand the idea above: 1. There are two backup destination media. The first ("device1/pool1" etc.) is always connected to the ...

Tom Mc commented on: PGP Desktop Encrypting
Select the files you want encrypted, use the right click context menu to select the option of PGP Desktop - Add files to new PGP Zip.  The next dialog will show the selected files, and below this selection, you will see four little buttons towards the left hand side.  Before clicking Next, click the right most of these buttons, and then select "Do not zip - output files individually."

QuietLeni posted: How do I change the persistence settings for Workflow 7.1?
Dear All, How do I change the persistence settings for Workflow 7.1? I have found an article for 6.5, but none for 7.1. Validation of the installation indicates that the server is using File, but I need to use SQL. There is no DBTOOL.EXE in 7.1. Do I remove Workflow and then re-install or is there a process that I can run to fix it? Kindest regards, QuietLeni ...

chashock commented on: Netbackup appliance 5220 upgrade 7.1 to 7.5
Worgies: I would suggest upgrading to the latest code before you roll into production due to the increase in features available in the 2.5 release.  You can read the technote about the upgrade here:  http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH188184 Both the download links and instructions on how to apply the patch are in that technote. Thanks!

Bored Silly commented on: Network Monitor span-port and traffic problems causes corrupted incidents
We are also experiencing this issue on 11.5.0 so I will try the upgrade to 11.5.1 and see if the issue goes away.

Stanleyj commented on: Upgrading to 7.5
The 2.5 code was released yesterday and as usual for me the upgrade failed right on schedule.  Tried to install on my 5200 media server and it failes at Installing Appliance Web UI.  This forces a roll back.  Support ticket here i come.

DRuxSPR commented on: Web Gateway Concurrent Users Limit
There is a potential for slowdown in authentication, especially if you are using it in Proxy mode. You could also deploy a Virtual Web Gateway and shunt some of your less critical traffic towards it to help reduce the load.
