Mariners Update – June 21
A few quick updates before the Mariners open an 8-game, 10-day, 3-team homestand tonight vs. the Oakland Athletics…
- The Mariners had two draft picks, 2nd-rounder Austin Wilson and 13th-rounder Lachlan Fontaine, at the ballpark to sign their professional contracts. Wilson and Fontaine put on a power display during early batting practice, with both players hitting several home runs. Wilson will report to the Everett AquaSox and Fontaine to the Peoria Mariners to begin their pro careers. Good luck to both!
- Mariners top pitching prospect Taijuan Walker has been promoted to AAA Tacoma and is scheduled to make his first Triple-A start Tuesday vs. the Fresno Grizzlies at Cheney Stadium. Walker went 4-7 with a 2.46 ERA (23 ER, 84.0 IP) with 96 strikeouts in 14 starts for AA Jackson in the Southern League. Walker was the Mariners first selection (43rd overall) in the 2010 June Amateur Draft out of Yucaipa (CA) High School. In four minor league seasons he has combined to go 18-23 with a 3.46 ERA in 61 games/57 starts. He entered this season rated by MLB.com as the No. 5 prospect, and No. 2 pitching prospect.
- Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik told Larry Stone of the Seattle Times that Danny Hultzen (out since late April with a rotator cuff strain) is scheduled to start and throw 5.0 innings for the Peoria Mariners tomorrow in the Arizona League. If all goes well, he could return to the Tacoma rotation following that. Pretty cool to think the Rainiers starting 5 could be Brandon Maurer, Erasmo Ramirez, Danny Hultzen, James Paxton and Taijuan Walker.

5 Mariners Named Top 100 Prospects by MLB.com
Well, the votes are in, and five Mariners have been named to the MLB.com Top 100 Prospects List. The impressive haul of Mariners includes three players listed in the top 25 and four in the top 50. Here are the Mariners named to the Top 100 list:
- RHP Taijuan Walker (#5)
- LHP Danny Hultzen (#18)
- C Mike Zunino (#23)
- INF Nick Franklin (#47)
- LHP James Paxton (#61)
And for the second consecutive season the Mariners organization received the most "Prospect Points"
Hultzen and Paxton Named Top LHP Prospects by MLB.com
Mariners pitchers Danny Hultzen and James Paxton have both been named among the top 5 left-handed pitching prospects heading into the 2013 season. Hultzen checked in at No. 2 on the list, while Paxton was No. 5 in the annual MLB.com Prospect Position Rankings.
Here is what MLB.com prospect guru Jonathan Mayo had to say about Hultzen and Paxton:
2. Danny Hultzen, Mariners: Hultzen signed an $8.5 million Major League contract after being picked second in the 2011 Draft by Seattle. Thought to be an advanced college pitcher who could move up quickly, he's done just that, reaching Triple-A in his first season of pro ball. A 2012 Futures Game participant, the lefty out of the University of Virginia dominated in Double-A but then had serious control issues in Triple-A. If he can fix those problems – and he was known as a command guy coming out of college – his three-pitch mix should work nicely in the big leagues.
5. James Paxton, Mariners: Paxton was taken in the fourth round in the 2010 Draft by Seattle, though he didn't sign until March 2011. He reached Double-A that season and spent all of 2012 at that level. A 2011 Futures Gamer and 2012 Arizona Fall League Rising Stars Game participant, there has never been any question about the Canadian's pure power stuff, especially his fastball and breaking ball. That's allowed him to strike out more than 10.5 per nine innings in two years in the Minors. Some thought he might eventually end up in the bullpen, but an improved changeup and better command could make him a formidable starter.
Here is a video clip from MLB.com featuring Hultzen:
Hultzen and Paxton join RHP Taijuan Walker, who was listed as the No. 2 right-handed pitching prospect. The full list of positional prospect rankings and their release dates are below:
• Right-handed pitchers

Baseball America Unveils Mariners Top Prospects
The Mariners nine minor league affiliates wrapped up the 2012 season putting together one of the best season in club history, combining for a 496-406 (.550) record. The organization led all Major League farm systems in wins and winning percentage, while setting a new record for most wins in a single season. This has led to optimism in the Mariners pipeline, as Seattle has one of the best farm systems in all of baseball. Baseball America unveiled their annual Top 10 Prospects list ranking the top Mariners in the minor leagues.
Baseball America's Top 10 Mariners Prospects:
1. Mike Zunino, c
2. Taijuan Walker, rhp
3. Danny Hultzen, lhp
4. James Paxton, lhp
5. Nick Franklin, ss/2b
6. Brandon Maurer, rhp
7. Carter Capps, rhp
8. Stefen Romero, 2b
9. Brad Miller, ss
10. Victor Sanchez, rhp
Catcher Mike Zunino, selected by the Mariners with the third overall pick in the 2012 First-Year Player draft, quickly established himself as an offensive and defensive force and was ranked by Baseball America as the Mariners No. 1 prospect. In his first professional season, Zunino hit .360 (58×151) with 35 runs scored, 14 doubles, 13 home runs and 43 RBI in 44 combined between Short-A Everett and AA Jackson.
The Mariners had six pitchers ranked in the top 10, including five of the top seven prospects. For the second straight year, right-handed pitcher Taijuan Walker (#2) was tabbed as the Mariners top pitching prospect. In only his third professional season, Walker, 20, was one of the youngest pitchers in the Southern League and was also named to the North Division All-Star Team. Left-handed pitchers Danny Hultzen (#3) and James Paxton (#4), joined right-handed pitchers Brandon Maurer (#6), Carter Capps (#7) and Victor Sanchez (#10) to round out the Mariners top pitching prospects. After being in the minor leagues less than a year, Capps made his Major League debut on Aug. 3, 2012 and became only the third player from the 2011 First-Year Players draft to make his ML debut. Hultzen, Maurer and Paxton each ranked amongst the Mariners organization leaders in wins, ERA and strikeouts, while Sanchez at age 17 was the youngest player in the top 10.
While the Mariners are known for their top pitching prospects, it was their offensive numbers that really stood out in 2012. Amongst all full-season minor league clubs, the Mariners affiliates finished in the top 5 in nearly every offensive category, including ranking first in hits, home runs, slugging percentage and on-base percentage. Infielders Nick Franklin (#5), Stefen Romero (#8) and Brad Miller (#9) joined Zunino as the Mariners position players in the organizations top 10 rankings. Romero was named the Mariners Minor League Player of the Year after batting .352 (167×474) with 85 runs scored, 64 extra-base hits and 101 RBI in 116 games combined between High-A High Desert and AA Jackson. Franklin was recently named to the Arizona Fall League Top Prospect Team, while Miller ranked second amongst all Minor Leaguers with 186 hits.
Mariners Farm System Continues to Strengthen
Prior to the 2012 season, the Mariners farm system was ranked by MLB.com as the No. 1 organization based on their prospect points system, with five players rated in the top 100. After a record 496 wins by the Mariners 9 minor league affiliates, and 6 playoff berths, the Mariners remained the top team when MLB.com re-ranked the top 100 and each club's top 20 prospects.
Here is an article by Mariners.com beat writer Greg Johns detailing the impressive group of prospects:
The updated rankings show the Mariners ranking first among all 30 MLB teams based on point values assigned to each of the top 100 prospects, just ahead of the Pirates, D-backs and Cardinals.
Top Prospect Points 1. Seattle 327 2. Pittsburgh 326 3. Arizona 321 4. St. Louis 320 5. Toronto 281
The following Mariners ranked in the top 100 by MLB.com (prospect ranking):
- RHP Taijuan Walker (#5)
- LHP Danny Hultzen (#9)
- INF Nick Franklin (#31)
- C Mike Zunino (#51)
- LHP James Paxton (#82)
And here are the players included in the Mariners top 20 prospects list by MLB.com:
A Big Night in Tacoma – Hultzen vs. Moyer
With Mariners top prospect Danny Hultzen going against former Mariners pitcher Jamie Moyer tonight, Cheney Stadium was a hot ticket.
Rainiers PR guy Ben Spradling sent the following factoids:
- The game sold out about 20 minutes before first pitch, the second sold out game of the season for the Rainiers.
- With over 7,400 tickets sold, it's the largest crowd this season for the Rainiers.
- In addition to the regularly credentialed media at the game, the Rainiers issued 11 additional media credentials.
- An auxiliary press box was set up to house the extra media in attendance.
Moyer, who is 49 years old, is hoping to get back to the Major Leagues after Tommy John surgery. He signed a minor league deal a few days ago with the Toronto Blue Jays. He'll make a few starts for the Las Vegas 51s before the Blue Jays decide if they will call him up.
By the second inning of tonight's game, Moyer had surrendered two home runs—a two run shot by newly named PCL All-Star Luis Jimenez and a solo homer by Adam Moore.
Hultzen, the #2 overall pick in last year's draft, made his second Triple-A start tonight. In 4.0 innings he allowed 3 hits, 1 run, 4 walks, 6 strikeouts (90 pitches/52 for strikes).
Hultzen & Walker Selected to Futures Game Roster
Earlier this morning Mariners minor league pitchers Danny Hultzen and Taijuan Walker were selected to play in the 14th annual SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game to be played Sunday, July 8 at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City (2 p.m. PT/ESPN2, MLB Network Radio).
Major League Baseball has held the game during All-Star weekend since 1999, featuring minor league prospects in a USA vs. World showcase. The Mariners have had 28 selections to the Futures Game since its first beginning in 1999. Six players on the current 25-man roster played in the Futures Game in the past: Miguel Olivo (2000), Franklin Gutierrez (2003), Felix Hernandez (2004), Michael Saunders (2007), Jesus Montero (2008-09) and Hector Noesi (2010).
Major League Baseball, in conjunction with the Major League Baseball Scouting Bureau, MLB.com, Baseball America and the 30 Major League Clubs, selected the 25-man rosters for each club, the U.S. Team and the World Team. Each Major League organization is represented and players from all full-season Minor Leagues were eligible to participate.
Hultzen, 22, is 8-3 with a 1.19 ERA (10 ER, 75.1 IP) in 13 starts with Jackson in his first professional season. He was promoted to AAA Tacoma yesterday, and is scheduled to make his Rainiers debut Saturday at Colorado Springs. After allowing 5 runs in 4.0 innings in his first start of the season, Hultzen has allowed only 5 earned runs in his last 71.1 innings (0.63 ERA), lowering his ERA from 11.25 to 1.19 ERA in last 12 starts. He heads to Triple-A with a string of 26.2 consecutive scoreless innings (dating back to 5/23 at Montgomery). Hultzen left Jackson leading the Southern League in ERA (1.19), opponent batting average (.151), WHIP (0.93), while leading all starters with the fewest base-runners per 9.0 innings (8.72). He also ranked T1st in the league in wins (8), 2nd in strikeouts (79), T4th in innings pitched (75.1) and in strikeouts per 9.0 innings (9.44). Hultzen was the starting pitcher for the North Division in the Southern League All-Star game on Tuesday night, tossing a scoreless first inning with a walk and strike out.
Hultzen was the Mariners first round selection (2nd overall) in the 2011 First-Year MLB Player Draft out of the University of Virginia. He made his professional debut in the 2011 Arizona Fall League, going 1-0 with a 1.40 ERA (3 ER, 19.1 IP) in 6 starts. He entered the 2012 season ranked as the No. 16 prospect in baseball by MLB.com and also listed as the No. 3 left-handed pitcher by the website.
Walker, 19, is 4-3 with a 3.79 ERA (24 ER, 57.0 IP) in 12 starts with Double-A Jackson. He has limited opponents to a .249 (53×247) average, while walking 23 and striking out 59 in 57.0 innings. As one of the youngest players in the Southern League, he has allowed 2 or less earned runs in 9 of his 12 starts this season, including holding opponents scoreless in 3 starts.
Walker was selected by the Mariners in the first round (43rd overall) in the 2010 First-Year Player draft. He was named Mariners Minor League Pitcher of the Year in 2011, after going 6-5 with a 2.89 ERA (31 ER, 96.2 IP) in 18 starts with Clinton. Walker was also named the top Midwest League prospect in 2011 by Baseball America. In his first 3 seasons in the Minor Leagues, Walker is 11-9 with a 3.14 ERA (56 ER, 160.2 IP) in 32 games, 30 starts.

Mariners Spring Training Update – Day 10
Day 10 / Tuesday, February 21, 2012 / 35 Days 'til Opening Night in Tokyo / 51 Days 'til Opening Night in Seattle
Weather: If you could bottle this weather up, you would be set. Sorry to rub this in for any Northwest fans reading this while it is cold and rainy, but it was just about perfect today. Photo day started with the temps at a "brisk" 47°, and climbed to near 70° when the players finished the workout. And the weather ahead also looks pretty good, including highs expected in the 80's this weekend.
News of the Day:
Manager Eric Wedge announced following practice that Ichiro will bat third in the batting lineup this year. He also said he is going to give first shot at the leadoff position to Chone Figgins and Dustin Ackley will start the season batting 2nd. For the seamheads out there, Ichiro has made 13 starts in his career where he has batted 3rd in the lineup, last June 23, 2004 at Texas. 1,730 of his 1,733 career starts (1,749 career games played) have had his name penciled into the leadoff spot on the Mariners lineup card since his MLB debut in 2001.
Quotes of the Day:
"Sorry." Pretty simple, and straight from the mouth of ace Felix Hernandez after striking out prospect Nick Franklin on a pretty nasty curveball. When asked what pitch he struck out on, Franklin just shook his head and said "a huge curveball. Never seen one like that before!"
"Come on Ichi, Come on Ichi, Come on Ichi!!!!!!" That was energetic infielder Munenori Kawasaki cheering on Ichiro when the outfielders were working on cutoffs and throwing to different bases. He got plenty of laughs out of teammates, media and fans watching practice.
Tweet of the Day:
#shoutout to all my new followers, and all the photographers who made photo day a breeze..
— forrest snow (@feSNOW) February 21, 2012
Birthday Boys:
Outfielders Franklin Gutierrez (29th) and Chih-Hsien Chiang (25th) celebrated their birthdays today. Both even got a few "Happy Birthday's" shouted their way as both players shuffled between practice fields.
The Day:
The Mariners ran through one of their longer workouts so far this spring, with the catchers finishing their conditioning around 1 p.m. local time. A total of 17 pitchers threw live BP, including Felix Hernandez, Jason Vargas, Danny Hultzen, Taijuan Walker, Blake Beavan, James Paxton and Shawn Kelley. The team also went through a spirited round of infield-outfield, with several outfielders showing pinpoint accuracy throwing home.
Photo Day:
We had a previous blog entry on Photo Day, with plenty of photos from the morning photo shoots. All 67 players in Major League camp ran through a gauntlet of photo stations including Getty Images, AP, Kyodo News, Topps and US Presswire.
National Media:
Along with our everyday beat writers Greg Johns (MLB.com), Larry LaRue (Tacoma News Tribune), Geoff Baker (Seattle Times), Larry Stone (Seattle Times), and local TV reporters Chris Egan (King 5) and Aaron Levine (Q13), some national media members made pit stops at Mariners camp today. ESPN.com's Jorge Arangure, CBSSportsline.com's Scott Miller and ESPN's Pedro Gomez were seen on the back fields doing stories on the Mariners.

… Read the rest
Robert Pattinson has a lot to answer for. Ever since his lanky frame immortalised Stephenie Meyer's Twilight character Edward Cullen with an American twang, all the vampires of the world seem to have lost their British passports. Those populating Bon Temps, the fictional town in Louisiana that is the setting for TV drama True Blood, have a southern American drawl. Meanwhile Mystic Falls, Virginia, where The Vampire Diaries is set, is a long way from the London and Whitby homes of the most famous vampire of all: Count Dracula.
But watch out, bloodsuckers: the Brits want to bring you home. Academics at the University of Hertfordshire are organising a conference that will serve ketchup-smothered food (it's tastier than blood) from coffins, all in the name of putting British vampire fiction back on the map. It's the brainchild of Dr Sam George, a lecturer in English literature at Hertfordshire who is fascinated by vampires and keen to use them to make literature exciting.

BE 2010 R3 Domino server recovery question
I have recently went through a Domino Mail server recovery, that to say the least didn't go too well. We did get it recovered finally, but it took more steps and more time than I thought it should. So the questions I have are these:
From a Full backup of the Domino server, including the databases. Why can't I restore the databases back directly to the server before Domino is loaded and or running?
I can restore them to a non domino server with no domino running and then copy them, but this takes more steps than I would like and increases the time required to recover the serer.
I just tried a test this morning on a small Domino server we uninstalled domino completely, rebooted it and I even uninstalled the BE agent and then reinstalled the agent and rebooted it again. I can restore the domino program data, but as soon as it hits a databse the job fails out with e000848c - Unable to attach to a resource.
I take this to mean we need Domino installed and running in order to put the files back on the domino server. But then why can I redirect the databases and it works to a non domino server?
The agents are all BE 2010 R3 agents
The Domino environment is 8.5.1 or .2
Media server is 2008 R2 with BE 2010 R3 and all patched to current.
Domino Server is 2008 Fully patched.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide on this. I am just trying to get a good solid DR plan in place for these servers, the big production servers are at best a 20 hour recovery the way we did it the last time I had to recover it.

Please check below link shows the steps involved to recover domino server.
Don't forget to give a "Thumbs Up" or Mark as "Solution" if someones advice has helped you.
As per OP comment he is not able to recover domino on same server were he is testing, so above link ,describes steps involved for doing DR and option configured to restore database,so that he can check and compare if he is missing something when doing restore of database.

Thank you all for your postings.
As it turns out, and I can't really say why, the link provided by backup-exec is exactly how I had to restore in the test environment. So it is at best a two step process. I was hoping it could be worked down so that I could justrestore everything in one job.
Now, the question I can't figure out is this. When I need to restore a single database for Domino, I can do that no problem to a non-domino server. And in fact I did restore the entire Domino Mail server a few months back to a redirected location and then had to copy all of that data back to the production server. This added at minimum about 6 hours to the recovery process.
So why can I restore the entire Domino environment databases and all to a non-domino server, but not to a Domino Server without Domino installed on it? Wouldn't this actulally be a non-domino server until Domino was installed on it? :-)
Anyway, there is some additinoal concern about restoreing Domino Databases while Domino is running as it is the only mail server this organization has, and so we were reluctant to have the Domino server service running while there were no mailboxes on it. We didn't want the mail refused outright during recovery.
Thanks for your help. If you have any thoughts on the above questions please let me know.
Kevin Pulford
Although the document that he has provided is the way to recover a Domino server, it does not answer your question, did it? If so, you should not mark it as the solution. If it is the solution, you would not have any more questions to ask. You already did what the document stated when you started this discussion.
Okay, so the link provided, I have taken as the correct "Symantec" way of doing a Symantec recovery.
However, Pkh, your right, the entire question wasn't answered.
The rest of the orginal question about, why a file can not be restored to a server directly (Not redirected) that is a Domino Database, even though Domino is not loaded or installed on the target machine? The only similarity of the target restore location and the orginal backup location would be the server name.
If I redirect the Domino databases to another server that also has no Domino installed on it, I can restore every database with no errors. Then copy them to the Domino server I orginally wanted them to be restored too. Of course this takes extra time and network bandwidth. For a few gigabytes, no big deal but for half a terrabyte it begins to be a bigger deal.
So while the link did answer part of the question orginally posted, which is what is the proper way to recover a Domino environment. The bigger question orginally posted is, why does it have to be done that way? And that one has not been answered just yet. Now the why question may just be for my own understanding at this point. But I can't seem to figure out why BE would care what the name of the target server is, to do a direct restore rather than a redirected restore. It seems odd to me is all. And it would be much easier for us to recover a Domino server with one long 12 hour restore of the data, program settings and databases, then come in and load Domino and then start the server as a production server.
The Symantec way requires Domino to be running, which according to my Domino Admin (not me), means that as we are restoring the Domino databases, Domino is bringing them up live before the entire data set has been restored. Which means that, in the instance of the recovered mail server, some people would get mail, and others mail would be returned to sender due to no mail box for a specific user. In the case of the application server (Web server) recovery the impact would be somewhat less, as it is only an Intranet web server, but again some applications would be working and other would appear gone until that data was restored. In a client server situation, where the web or mail server was the client to a database back end, I would just say turn off the front end client until the data has all been restored. But I am told that is not really how Domino works, so it may not be an option here.
Which is why I would like to lay all of the data back down before I bring Domino up. And that is the one thing right now I can't do directly to the target server. Which is what I want to know why I can't?
Hopefully this clears up the second part of the orginal question. I am still looking for suggestions or answers to this piece of the oringal post.
Thanks all
Kevin Pulford
Few things which need to be cleared first
If backup is taken by domino agent ,then as per Symantec Admin Guide and docment domino db can only be redirected to a local domino server to different folder that means to same domino server but can redirect to different location ,it needs to go a directory under the lotus domino data directory.
So if you are redirecting to other server, that means you are using file redirection option ,that means for doing backup Open file agent that is AOFO is used & not Domino agent. as there is no option reffered in Admin guide on how to redirect domino database to Non domino server.
Moreover the DR link I have given you is manual disaster recovery for domino server & it has be in 2 parts 1 were it will bring the system up & running with C & system state restore & 2nd part will be application restore were we would be restoring the domino database considering domino in place. but please remeber main part is taken care by domino such as assigning IDS or replaying logs etc Backup exec won't do that after restoring domino databases.
Hope that helps
Don't forget to give a "Thumbs Up" or Mark as "Solution" if someones advice has helped you.
I don't think you understand the user's question.
The user is not trying to do a backup of the files which he re-direct to another server, so your 2nd paragraph is not relevant.
Your last paragraph does not address the user's question as to why he cannot restore the databases first and then install Domino. Logs do not come into the picture because he may not be using logs.
I beleive the question may not be understood as well. I do understand what the admin guide says, and I also understand the material in the link backup-exec provided.
But ..... as a point of fact.
1) I can redirect on restore,a single or all of the Domino Databases to a server that is NOT a Domino server and they will restore intact and as expected. Then we just have to copy them to the actual Domino server and Domino reads them just fine.
2) If I get a new Domino Server and happen to call it the same name, and Domino isn't loaded on the server yet. I don't seem be able to directly restore the Domino Datbases to that server. Why?
To me it falls to reason that if I can redirect a restore to a non Domino server, I should be able to directly restore to a Non-Domino server in the same way. But I definitely can't! I have tried this several ways and what I am hoping is that I just need to change a setting in the restore job so I can do this.
Otherwise in a full recovery, I am stuck redirecting 500 GB of NSF files to a non-related server and then copying them back accross my LAN to the actual server they will run on. This just adds time and in a DR scenario this is something we really don't have.
Yes the Domino Datbases are always backed up using the Domino agent for BE. But I can and as a matter of practice do, restore individual database files (Redirected) when the Domino developers, or an end user has a whoops moment. They work just fine and I have never lost data using this method since I started more recently with 11d about 4 years ago. Now I am running 2010 R3 fully patched. It just never dawned on me that if the time came to do a full server recovery I would need to either comprimse the operations of the server in question while the data restores, or restore it all to a different server and take an extra number of hours to copy it to the actual server just to get the server all back together again.
And if I didn't already say so clearly, while the admin guide might say I can only restore a domino database to a domino server. That is just NOT true. I do restore only to a non Domino server when I am recovering single files. I let the Domino Admin deal with how to get them back into Domino.
And lastly, in case I haven't covered this. I can't tell what BE is doing in the background. I own 3 Domino Agents, but of course when we install the Backup Exec agent on the servers, I make the assumption that if Domino is on the server then the agent is actually being used. I know that on my Mail server using DAOS, BE seems to know a lot about the DAOS and how to back that up. So I would say I think the Domino Agent is being used to back up the data. But I can gurantee when I drop single files back I am not putting them in a server that has Domino loaded on it.
So while I understand what the admin guide is saying. I am telling you in practice I have not had the experience of "Can't" restore to a redirected Non Domino Server. And I do beleive I am using the Domino agent to backup the files.
Also, with regards to logs, my Domino admin is all hung up on Circular logging, so from my experience, BE doesn't really like that method of logging and so we don't back those logs up anyway. Perhaps if I could get him to store linear logs off box backign them up would have some value! :-) So for not pkh is correct, the logs are not in play here and not part of the question or the restore.
So finally, the question is. If I can redirect an entire Domino Data set to a non domino server, then copy it to the Domino server and have it all work. Why can't I restore the entire Data set directly to a Non-Domino server with the same name as the previous domino server and then load Domino on it?
Thanks very much for all of your comments and suggestions
Kevin Pulford
Kelvin, thanks for highlighting the problems you faced with Domino recovery. I am a developer working on Domino Agent and would like to address your concerns.
What I understand from previous posts is that your concerns, when abstracted, are the following four:
1) Can't restore NSFs to a non-Domino server with the same name.
2) Restoring "The Symantec way requires Domino to be running, which ... means that as we are restoring the Domino databases, Domino is bringing them up live before the entire data set has been restored."
3) Circular logging not recommended by Backup Exec
4) "while the admin guide might say I can only restore a domino database to a domino server. That is just NOT true"
Did I miss something? Now, let me try to answer these, in order:
1) I believe you are doing an in-place restore with no Domino installed and it fails with "e000848c - Unable to attach to a resource". This is expected. If you are doing an in-place restore of databases, Domino server with same name should be installed on the machine with same name. This is required as in-place restore needs to load Domino components in order to make the restored databases consistent. This is true irrespective of type of transaction logging enabled (or not enabled for that matter) on Domino server.
When you say that single database can be restored to a non-Domino server, I feel you are not doing an in-place restore rather it's a redirected restore. To be sure, I tested just now and observed that in-place restore on a non-Domino server failed with "e000848c - Unable to attach to a resource". This happened for single database as well entire gamut of Domino databases.
Conversely, a redirected restore of databases is always going to work. (see my answer-4 too).
With these, I hope issue-1 is no longer valid. Of course, you may like to test and confirm. Let me know how it goes.
2) As mentioned in answer-1 above, having Domino installed helps create consistent restore copies of databases. And hence Symantec recommended disaster recovery steps require you to have Domino installed. Note however that, you are not required/recommended to have Domino running. So the concern about incomplete dataset that existed in your or your Domino administrator's mind, can fade away since the dataset being restored can't be accessed until the Domino is started.
Further, with answer-2, I believe you won't require a redirected restore of all databases. You can go as the admin guide recommends. If you still want to follow what you do today, then you can do that in only one step – by not doing in-place restore of databases, rather by doing redirected restore to your Domino server itself. However, as you understand redirected restore of a database may yield an inconsistent database copy.
3) Archived style transaction logging is recommended over circular logging by IBM Lotus Domino. One of the reasons for this is, archived style logging is designed with backups in mind. For instance, the archived logs will not be deleted by Domino unless the backup application informs it that they have been backed up. In case of circular or linear logging, there is a risk of logs getting flushed without a backup as Domino doesn't require the nod of backup application before deleting the logs.
Symantec's recommendation for archived style transaction logging is in sync with IBM Lotus Domino recommendations.
4) You seem right here. I will check with other folks here and get this piece in Admin Guide revisited:
"Lotus Domino databases can only be redirected to a different directory on the local server from which the database was backed up. If you are restoring a database to a different location, it must reside in or under the Lotus Domino data directory."
Hope this helps. If you have further questions or suggestions, do write back.
Satisfied? Mark this post as solution.
First off, thank you for your response. I know this thread is getting a bit old, and I really didn't expect any more comments on it. I have come to sort of accept the way things are and am trying to work with that.
But I would like to comment on your points.
So this all began when we lost a production Domino server. I happened to be on vacation far out of town so I couldn't really get a good idea of what was going on back at the office. I was trying to help them get the replaced Domino Server restored to the last backup we had. What we ended up doing in that case, because time was an issue of course, was we did redirect the entire 500 plus Gig to an alternate location on a different server. Then copied all of that data one more time to the Domino Server.
What I was charged with when I got back was to determine what the "rules" are for a restore of the Domino environment. So along with the Domino administrator we took down his Development box and made a few attempts to see what worked and what didn't work.
This "test" is what my original post was about.
So the way the test was conducted was we dumped the Domino Data and removed the domino program completely from the development server. Then tried to restore the data.
Item 1) As you rightly point out this failed. I really never considered the concept of "in-place" versus "redirected" to the same server. So I believe, if I understand the term "in-place" then this first test was an in-place attempt. This mimicked the restore attempts we tried with the production server when we tried to recover it. The server had the same name and ip address. Only Domino was loaded, just not running on the production server at the time.
And you are also correct in saying that when I restore single databases to a redirected location (It is our SOP) that is is not to a Domino server directly. Generally the Domino Admin wants to look at the file to make sure it is what he needs before placing it into the production environment.
I further agree that item one is no longer an issue. This isn't how I was hoping it would work, but if this is the "rule" then of course I will accept it.
Item 2) If I understand this correctly, Domino is to be installed but not running. This did not work in the production environment when we tried restoring. The Domino Admin did have Domino loaded and configured waiting for the databases and DAOS to be restored. Because he did not want some data being presented before all of it was restored he had the Domino services all stopped. I still got the same error as if Domino was not installed at all.
So this was in my test and is still very much an issue for me. I just have never had this work one time. Now we haven't tried it with 2012 yet, so perhaps the new agent will show something different, but with 2010 R3.2 I could not restore in-place to a Domino server with Domino loaded and configured, but stopped.
The only way I was able to get the Data restored in-place was to have Domino running at the time of restore.
Item 3) Okay so I agree with you on this and have made my comments known to the Domino Admin. He does not know how to run Domino with transaction logging. He has only run it with Circular logging. I have been tying to get him to switch this for 4 years, but he is not comfortable doing this so we remain using circular logging. This is out of my hands at this time.
Item 4) I have nothing to add to this comment.
I thank you very kindly for your help an support with this. I am really trying to get the restore time down from 22 hours to something less. I think by changing the backup method from one full and 6 incrementals, to just doing a full each night I may have reduced this to 12 hours. But if I could get the data restored directly to the server in place I think this would cut another 3 hours or so off of my restore time.
Just as a side note. I do not purposely backup the logs. This is my Domino Admins wish, not mine. What I am finding in my testing of 2012 r1a is something I don't understand completely. If I don't select the DAOS drive, it still appears I get the DAOS data. If I do select the DAOS drive it appears my data set has nearly doubled so I am assuming I am getting DAOS two times. So if this is true, does this mean I am also getting the logging even if I don't select it?
Thanks again for all of your help
Kevn Pulford
Important to summarize from all of this... ANY redirection of Lotus Domino agent data becomes a file restore where no API connection to Domino server is attempted. Whether you're redirecting to another server or redirecting to an alternate folder on the original Domino server. Any 'direct' restore will attempt to contact Domino server to do API restore.
Also note that if Archive Transaction logging is enabled and DAOS is enabled, redirecting the restore of databases will not restore the associated log and DAOS/NLO files and consequently cannot do a point in time restore.
Thank you for your response.
So the summary makes some sense, I just wasn't sure how BE was telling if the Domino was installed or not. But based on your summary, the agent doesn't even look to see if Domino is there before it makes up its mind to just use Domino calls if it is a direct restore. And if Domino isn't there then it fails outright.
We do use DAOS, but circular logging. I do not target to backup the circular logs. I do target and backup the DAOS structure though. My Domino Admin seems less concerned about a point in time recovery as much as just a recovery. To be honest I think this is his first full recovery of a Domino server so I am not sure what he got was what he expected.
I have always been told by him that if the circular logs are not lost (they were in the total server crash) that they would make the restore consistent. Now not having the logs, and a fully crashed server, with my one time per day backup set, I am not really sure how that worked for him. But he has not said anything to me as far as being missing data or that I need to backup something more or different.
In our after actions we did talk with the VP of technology about using linear or archive transaction logging and even placing them on a different server. But to date this has not been done. Again, I feel the Domino Admin is not comfortable with this type of logging so we are not using it. My Oracle DBA sorta freaked out when he heard how the Domino Admin was dealing with the logs. But even that didn't change his mind.
Your summary has proven to be exactly how we have planned to recover in the future as far as in place or direct to the server. This makes my Domino Admin uncomfortable because he does not want the Domino server running for 8 hours with partial data restored and providing refused mail transactions and such while all of the data is getting restored. But so far this is what we know works.
Thank you again for your response. I really appreciate your help and insight.
Kevin Pulford
Kevin, allow me some time to dig into the issue that in-place restore, without Domino running, didn't work for you.
Between, about your other observation that DAOS may be getting backed up twice - Ideally, this should not be the case. When Domino agent is licensed, DAOS automatically gets backed up as part of Domino backup. And for this reason, DAOS gets excluded from drive (or NTFS) backup. Can you confirm that the value of this registry key on Domino server is 0:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Backup Exec For Windows\Backup Exec\Engine\Domino\Enable Offline Backup
Satisfied? Mark this post as solution.
Kevin, on the issue that in-place restore, without Domino running, didn't work - it looks like the Domino Agent needed a reboot after you restored the ID and ini files, and before you started restore of databases. Please try restarting Backup Exec Remote Agent on Domino server, and then try in-place restore without Domino running. Let me know if you still face issues.
You should note however that Domino doesn't allow restore of log.nsf and hence it shall be deselected/excluded when you run restore of databases.
Satisfied? Mark this post as solution.
So here is where my confusion lies. If I don't have Domino loaded when I am doing an in place restore, but I restore the notes.ini file (All I backup from that folder by the way. No ID files. Those are kept in a different location by the Domino Admin.)
And I restore the notes.ini file, then have to let the job fail completely. Then reboot the BE agent before I can continue, then it is still a two step process. I am assuming you are talking about the BE domino agent right?
Unfortunately I don't have a system just sitting around waiting for me to try a bunch of things at this time.
I do know that I didn't try to restart the BE agent when it failed after the Notes.ini file was restored. When the restore job failed, I then loaded the Domino program and restarted the entire box. Then did the full restore.
Again though, while I think this is probably the preferred or stated Symantec method of restoration, it is not a great method from my Domino Admin perspective as Domino, if it is running will try to start and present each of the restored databases as they are restored. When we are talking about a 12 hour restore time, that means there is a lot of files not restored while others are already working.
According to my Domino Admin, there is no good way to have the DBMS portion of Domino running while all other services are down so as not to present these files before the entire restore job is completed.
Just to make sure we are on the same page here. The Production Domino environment that I actually had to recover from a total failure, would not let me restore past the notes.ini file. And I did have Domino loaded but NOT running at that time.
I think the thing that isn't entirely clear to me, is how the Domino agent for BE actually works. I assume, perhaps incorrectly, that if Domino is loaded and running the agent would make api calls into the Domino environment and provide robust locking and such for each file backed up. However, if Domino isn't running, even if it is loaded, the BE agent wouldn't be able to actually make those calls to Domino since it was not running. This doesn't actually seem to be the way this is working.
The other part of the mystery, and this has always been the case with regards to the BE agent and Domino, is what it backs up and why I even need a selection list? I say this because, if I select Database files BE recognizes them as .NSF / database files and puts them in a category all their own for restore. Always has from 11d up until now. That is fine and I am glad BE understands they are Domino Databases. But now we enter into some nuances that require more knowledge that just straightforward selection list management. Such as DAOS. In 2010, and 12.5 it appeared if I didn't select the DAOS drive and folder structure (NTFS) that I wouldn't get them backed up. And they didn't get recognized as DAOS for restoration unless they were selected. Now, however, it appears when I select them in 2012 at the NTFS level, they get backed up twice (At least by byte count) even though I have only selected them at the NTFS level. Further more, if I select the entire folder structure where my databases are located. I don't get the database files, but I get all the index files and template files, etc. No Databases, and I believe unless I actually go select the database files under Domino Databases, in the selection list, I won't get database files. but of course if I select database files, I only get database files.
So in some cases I must select folder structure under NTFS to get everything other than Database files, but in the case of DAOS it appears I don't need to select anything at all. So I feel like there is just some inconsistency in how the agent actually works with Domino, and that Symantec is trying to make this all a no brainer for me, yet in doing so I feel more confused.
So as I have said for a while now, I think I understand what Symantec is saying is the true anc correct way to restore fils in a DOmino environment. ut... it also doesn't make as much sense to me as I would like it too. :-)
Thanks for your help with this.I appreciate all of your suggestions.
Kevin Pulford
OK, so there are couple of things which need clarification.
Let's begin, yes - the talk is about BE Domino Agent.
Next, please note that Domino Agent makes API calls irrespective of whether Domino is running or down. Of course, Domino must be installed and configured (or loaded in other word).
Recovery process: When I said, it's not a 2 step process, it was in context of your original post - that you restored to a different machine first, and then copied to the Domino machine. Now, let me focus on what Symantec recommends.
- If needed, you shall first get the machine loaded with OS.
- Then, install Domino to same path as before. Do not start Domino until step 6.
- Using BE, create a restore job for restoring only notes.ini and ID files - overwrite if these files already exist.
- Restart Domino Agent on this Domino machine.
- Using BE, create another restore job for restoring all databases except log.nsf. BE will be able to do API calls even though Domino is down and the job will succeed.
- Recovery is now complete. Start Domino for the first time now.
I believe the above summary makes it clear how the things go. I agree, it's not fully automatic process, but this is an optimum one. If these steps are followed, there is no situation that partial data is going online since Domino is down until recovery is complete (that's step 6).
This is for the restore and recovery with Domino Agent. Feel free to try them whenever you have time. If you observe different behavior, do write back or open a support case.
I am taking your other problem in next post, so as to keep things separated.
Satisfied? Mark this post as solution.
Thank you fro your response.
So basically, in practice this mostly doesn't work! When we tried recovering the Domino Production Server, we did have Domino Installed. But not running!
I was able to restore the notes.ini file just fine, of course I had it all set to restore, but the job failed out after notes.ini was restored.
I then tried to restore just the databases without Domino Running and it failed as well! Almost immediately! No files were restored.
This also proved out in the Test we tried about a month later. We were and have always been able to restore non database files with Domino not running but loaded. It when we get to the Database files that the Agent seems to cause failures, if Domino isn't running.
I already know I can restore all the Databases if Domino is running, after the ID files and notes.ini is restored. I just can't if Domino isn't running. Just so you are aware, the Production Mail server recovery was done with BE 2010 and a 2010 agent. The test we did about a month later was with 2012 and a 2012 agent. But the result seemed to be the same.
Thanks very much for your help and response.
Kevin Pulford
On your next drill, after restore of notes.ini, you should try restarting Backup Exec Remote Agent (container of Domino Agent) - this is what you missed it seems. And then do restore of databases without Domino running. Open a support case if it still fails, or write to me. I will be glad to check what's causing different behavior on our test setups and your production environment.
Satisfied? Mark this post as solution.
Kevin, BE has a feature called Active File Exclusion. In simpler terms, it does this - if you have purchased an application specific BE Agent, then the protection of files related to that application are responsibility of the application specific BE Agent, and hence these files are excluded from plain NTFS backup.
In your case, since you have purchased Domino Agent, Domino files (such as NSF, NTF) are backed up by Domino Agent. A Domino backup happens when your selection are under "Lotus Domino Databases" node in the browse tree.
An NTFS backup (when the selections are directly under drive letter such as "C:" ) will automatically exclude Domino files.
Notes.ini file and ID files are to be backed up using NTFS backup and not Domino backup. Hence, notes.ini and ID files are not part of Active File Exclusion. The reason for this exception is that, these files don't need regular backup like other Domino files and ID files may occasionally be residing outside Domino folder.
The explanation above shall help understand your observation. DAOS has been supported by BE since BE2010. Hence, you won't notice Active File Exclusion for DAOS before BE2010.

I've been pretty sick lately, and I found this soup really fantastic to get all the right sorts of things I need to feel better! Its delicious, easy (coming from someone who manages to burn everything) and its great to freeze and take to work.
One of the tastiest Winter warmer soups we've ever had. And when all the kids go for seconds, you know it's great!
Well I've never roasted garlic before but 2 whole bulbs seems an awful lot! It worked out at over 20 cloves. I'm not keen about the taste, so next time i will use 1/10 the amount of garlic the recipe calls for!!!!!
Very tasty, no way this was going to make it to the freezer! I will make more next time so I can keep some. Also I did not roast garlic, I just used pre-crushed garlic and it still tasted great!
This is a fantastic soup to make and so easy. I used home grown leeks and garlic. The whole family came back for seconds. I made it for work the other day and the crock pot was empty by the end of the meeting and everyone said, "WOW! nice soup". I used dried thyme as I did not have fresh thyme but it came out the same with that WOW! factor.
I like the thyme in this soup, really adds to the flavour. Simple and tasty.
very mild flavour, great for someone who isn't looking for a big flavour hit. Delicious, followed the recipe and used all the garlic. Put danish fetta on the top for serving which added a salty creaminess to it.
Yum, this recipe was delicious! I used lemon thyme instead of thyme and used more stock instead of adding all the extra water. I also didn't use the whole 2 bulbs and you could still taste the garlic. I also put a dollop of sour cream into my bowl just before serving. Will definitely make again.
A lovely soup! I added a bit of cream to the soup just before serving it, which added a bit of creaminess - devine,
Very tasty, great winter warmer and all the garlic is great for the ol' immune system (according to my mama). I didnt stick to this recipe exactly. I used lemon thyme instead of thyme, and instead of adding equal parts of stock and water I put in 1 litre of veggie stock. I really like it, totally give it a shot.
Also roast the garlic out of its skin to release the flavours.
NICE! add some butter though for a more creamy texture.
Absolutely delicious, creamy an dreamy. My family loves it
Leek is really easy to grow in the vegie patch so i'm always keen to try new recipe's involving it and this is one of the nicest i've come across. Great flavour (especially if you season it with alot of salt and pepper) and its pretty easy to make. Will definitely make it every time we have a harvest of leek at home!
Yummo! I love garlic so for me this is great. I serve it with a dollop of sour cream and crusty sourdough bread- so tasty!
A very easy soup to make! I like the flavour of the roasted garlic through it, I used 2 bulbs and found it to be just right. But I am a garlic fan. Have just given my kids a taste and asked if they want some for dinner..... they both love it! And one isnt a soup eater! Next time I make this I might add some bacon/bacon bones for an added flavour.
I halved the garlic, but kind of wish I'd stuck to the recipe as I couldn't taste any garlic and the flavour was lacking - even with added sour cream and bread. Not a hit. Won't make it again.
Give it a crack with the full amount of garlic and replace the 2 cups of water with more stock - mine was really rich and tasty.
I really enjoyed this soup.... though I find it makes a bit more than 4 serves. I only used half the garlic and I would definately make it again.
There was way too much garlic in this recipe, even for me and I love garlic. Next time I would 1/2 the garlic and would hope to get a better result. I think it would improve it a great deal. Very simple to make though. I put Carnation Soy Milk in it as a milk substitute and you would never have known.
Pretty bland, i had to tweak a fair bit to get any satisfaction. Tasted better the next day though.
i loved the flavours of this soup I made it for a dinner party and everyone loved it even the most fussy of people of which their were 3!!!! I added cream too and garnished with fresh chives and ricotta SENSATIONAL
Very easy to make. I halved all ingredients. I did not enjoy this meal it was to much garlic for me and my family. I was the only one in my family that eat my whole bowl only because I didn't want to have waste.
Yum! I added some cream and used spinach instead of celery, cause I'm trying to get more of that in my diet. It turned out wonderfully!
I found this soup very bland, had to add fetta cheese, bread crumbs & lots of seasoning. Won't make it again.
Yum! Very enjoyable! Will definatley make this again! Very thick though so needed a little extra water so it was more like a soup. YUM
Roast garlic gave it plenty of depth of flavour, very tasty and filling AND low fat.. yum!

Written by Greg Sapp
35 area youth, ages 8 to 14, have been participating since June 18 in a Summer Youth Theatre Camp at Effingham Performance Center. The campers have been exposed to a drama curriculum of focus, voice and diction, improvisation, character study, and movement.
Students will showcase their learning and achievement with performances of two musicals from the "Play in the Box" series on Thursday, June 28th at 7:00 p.m. in the Effingham Performance Center. There is no admission charge. The program will last about one hour and a half and includes the presentation of two short musicals.
The Summer Youth Theatre Camp at the Effingham Performance Center is funded by a grant from the Lumpkin Family Foundation.

I finished my rain jacket using green .7 oz Cuben. The plan was to keep it simple. If I find it too sauna like I may add some mesh vents. Assembly was taken care of with Cuben tape from Quest outfitters. The #3 zipper is sewn through 2 layers of Cuben and one layer tape. All exposed edges are folded over and taped for a nice finish. tape. The hood has a brim to keep water off my face and the hood cinches up with a tiny bungee & cord lock. As pictured it weighs 2.3 oz. The weight breakdown is approximately .6 oz tape, 1.3 oz Cuben, .3 oz zipper, and .1 oz for bungee & cord lock.Pardon the poor cell phone pic!

Nice work Bender! How about a picture of you wearing it so we can see the fit. Pair your jacket with my CloudKilt and a user will have a rain pro that weighs sub 5oz total.
Outstanding work! That jacket is awesome. You've got me drooling over making one. I'm picturing my own patchwork cuben jacket made from all the scraps I have on hand :)Did you use a pattern for this? How did the Quest tape work out? It's hard to see from the picture....are the wrists and waist elastic? Adjustable?A higher quality pic would be awesome to see.At just 1.3oz of cuben, you could actually make the same jacket but with bomber 1.5oz cuben at still have it under 4oz. Hmm.....EDIT: I can't take it anymore....I'm going to see if I have enough scraps to whip one of these up. I'm thinking of a hoodless, anorak version and then combine that with a rain hat because I find a hat way less clammy than a hood in the rain.
Edited by dandydan on 07/07/2010 21:31:56 MDT.
Dan the cuffs & waist are folded and taped with no elastic. I used an old T-shirt for a pattern and a hooded jacket for reference. Once I get my real camera back I'll take more pics of the rain jacket as well as my 2.3 oz wind jacket. My previous hooded wind jacket was 4.9 oz but now I can carry a rain jacket & wind jacket for 4.6 oz!
Edited by Bender on 07/07/2010 23:18:29 MDT.
Here are some better pics of the Cuben rain jacket.I also finished my 2.3 oz momentum 90 wind jacket.
Bender,Nice work! Will these be available on your website, KookaBay.com?
Both of those creations are fantastic. Keep up the good work!
Casey I wasn't planning on putting them on the website; at least not anytime soon. Both took lots of work but I was able to learn quite a bit about construction techniques. I want to add pockets to the rain jacket but only if I can figure out how to keep water out when I have my hands in them. I tried it out last rainstorm and I hated not having a place to keep my hands dry.
May i know that 0.7oz cuben is it the CT2K.08 model?
Very, very nice. The construction on the wind shirt looks fantastic, and the cuben jacket makes me want to order some cuben. Great job.
Yes it's CT2K.08 cuben.Awesome work Ben. I'm jealous.

Several IPC (industrial PC) makers including Advantech have already adopted the new Eden ULV processor and products are expected to begin appearing on the market later this month, noted sources at VIA. Lanner, another Taiwan-based IPC maker, pointed out that it has already designed the CPU into several network appliances and embedded boards.
Via isn't the only one competing for incredibly low power computing. Intel's XSCALE, for instance, consumes a mere half-watt of power at 600MHz. However, for x86 platforms, Via is definitely a leader in terms of low-power combined with performance.
This new Eden CPU is clocked at half the speed of their next available ULV, at 1GHz. However, it uses less than a third of the power � indicating that Via may have refined their manufacturing techniques. It's entirely possible to see their ULV line as a whole updated soon with lower TDPs, though that is just speculation.

SLP policy not duplicating backups
I have an SLP just created after getting the MSDP set up etc. , the master server is the media server as well. Only problem is it is not duplicating the backup to tape after the backup to disk. I have another master with what I think is exactly the same setup and it works, this one doesn't, the only difference is this is a different master server. I also can't seem to find any logs for this backup, where does an SLP put it's logs? Any help would be appreciated. info on policy is listed below

Does the schedule(s) point to a SLP ?
Before SLP will do their magic the schedule(s) within a policy must point to one or more SLP's
You can find a SLP cheat sheet here : http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH170086
Does the command : nbstlutil stlilist –image_incomplete
list any images in not started state ?
Assumption is the mother of all mess ups.
If this post answered your'e qustion - Please mark as a soloution.
Does the duplicatuion start at all, even if it doesn't dupllicate anything ?
If it never starts, the issue will be with nbstserv, which is the process that controls SLP. It is found in /usr/openv/logs/nbstserv at NBU 7.x
If the duplication starts, then you probably need the admin log, SLP uses bpduplicate which logs into admin - /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/admin
nbstserv is a vx log, you need to process it with vxlogview.
There will be many logs I think, if you look at the filenames, they will all start 51216-226-
.. just by looking you will see that the date is part of the name, and if there is more than one log for a given day, there is an instance number.
Easiest way, is to copy the logs that you want to process into a separate dir.
vxlogview -p 51216 -i 226 -d all -G . >nbstserv.txt
You need to tell us what version on NBU you have, there are various EEBs that might be required.
Thanks Nicolai, I had the policy pointed to the disk storage unit and not the life cycle policy, named them to close I guess. Retried the backup manually after changing the storage to the life cycle policy, still not duplicating. Can you run this policy manually and expect the duplication to work?
Thanks for the log info Martin, that should make future issues easier to look at. WE are on 7.5.03, I got the EEB EEB_NetBackup_22.214.171.124_PET2838949_SET2838857_EEB3 installed for another issue. Is there a listing somewhere?
I have recreated the policy because the volume pool was showing Netbackup, which we don't use. But even after recreateing the policy, the volume pool stays at Netbackup. The Life cycle policy has the correct volume pool, this is not the behavior I would expect. My other master shows the correct volume pool in the backup policy, where could it be getting this?
The vol pool in the policy is ignored, only the one set in the SLP config is important.
SLP will not duplicate straight away, depending on any setting in the optional life cycle parameters file, it would probably start a duplication after about 1/2 hour after the backup.
The EEB I was thinking of was this one :
EEB is 2919194
So moving right along, it just took 30 min to replicate since the backup was pretty small, I had run it several times and it was only a few meg by the time it worked. On to the next! I have a Life Cycle Policy for import on the remote master for this backup, it is giving me an error 191 complaining about "The import failed because the imported image data class is defferent thean the SLP data class" The import life cycle policy is platinum, the SLP on the source is platinum, I have a feeling I am missing something....
if I have understood correct - the volume pool does not matter. The SLP you point to will control the volume pool. The SLP may not yet have triggered because the amount of data is too low. Check settings
MAX_MINUTES_TIL_FORCE_SMALL_DUPLICATION_JOB (default 30 min)
MIN_GB_SIZE_PER_DUPLICATION_JOB (Default 7GB).
Blast --- phone calls and when I return Marin has already posted - now my post look like a "me too" comment
Assumption is the mother of all mess ups.

Developmental Mathematics
Developmental Mathematics courses are pre-curriculum level courses intended to prepare
students for the college level math courses required in their curriculum programs.
The goal of Developmental Mathematics is to aid students in gaining the knowledge,
self-confidence, problem-solving experience, and study skills they need to be successful
in college-level mathematics.
Modular Courses:
The Developmental Math (DMA) courses are broken down into four-week modules. There
are 8 modules: DMA 010, DMA 020, DMA 030, DMA 040, DMA 050, DMA 060, DMA 070, and
DMA 080. Where you start is determined by your placement test score or an evaluation
of your scholastic records by the admissions staff. To determine the modules you need
to complete for your curriculum program, go to What Math Do I Need? under the FAQs section in the lower right column on this page.
Which Format is for Me?
There are three different methods of delivery for pre-curriculum math courses: Face-to-Face
classes (DMA), Customizable Learning (DMS), and Online (DMA). In each format, students
complete online homework assignments to prepare for the module posttest. The face-to-face
format provides traditional classroom instruction. Customizable learning courses are
technology-rich classes held in a computer lab. Although there is an instructor present
at all times to answer questions and assist students, the customizable learning format
gives students the opportunity to work at their own pace through one or more modules
they need to complete. The online format works like a typical internet class, except
for the required posttest. Students in an online course must take their posttest
in person, rather than over the internet. The option to use a local proctor is available
to students in the online course who live too far away to travel to main campus.
How Do I Register for Developmental Math?
If you are currently taking a pre-curriculum math class, your instructor will assist
you in registering for the next module you need to complete. If not, your program
advisor can assist you or you may visit the Math Department, located in room 618 of
Horace Sisk, for help with registration.
Tools Required for Developmental Math:
To be successful in a pre-curriculum math course, you will need the following tools:
- Developmental G.O.A.L. Math Workbook, available through the FTCC bookstore.
- Access to a computer with internet access, either at home or through FTCC's Open Computer Lab.
- Calculator - to determine the type needed for your course, go to Which Calculator? under the FAQs section on this page.
- Desire to learn.
- Willingness to work hard.
- Commitment to complete assignments in a timely manner.

What You Can Expect
As you cruise through the Inside Passage, keep your eyes open for local wildlife such as seals, sea lions, bald eagles, black bears, orcas and, of course, humpback whales, the star attraction. When a humpback is spotted, your captain will slow down so you can gather on the spacious viewing deck with your camera ready. The heated and enclosed indoor cabin also provides an unrestricted view of the water.
When your cruise returns to the harbor, head back to Juneau by coach and board the Mt Roberts aerial tram, which whisks you 1,800 feet (550 meters) up Mt Roberts to Timberline Bar & Grill. Sit down to a satisfying meal of coho salmon grilled to perfection and served with seasonal vegetables, accompanied by views of Juneau and its surrounding landscape of mountains and the Gastineau Channel.
The tour ends here, where you can stay on Mt Roberts to explore the hiking trails at leisure, or just soak up more of the views. Take the tram back down on your own when you're ready.

Brandon, Emma and Capt. Roberts were fantastic - they patiently sought an area where we could find a pod of whales and then offered us interesting facts and details about them. Could not have asked for a better whale watching cruise

We had a wonderful time on the Whale Watching Cruise - Emily our guide was knowledgable and fun.
The Tram ride to Mt. Roberts was breathtaking.

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We saw several whales and were the first tour of the season to see Orcas. The salmon lunch atop Mt. Roberts was great. We were taken to see the Mendenhall Glacier, which we didn't expect. The total value of the tour far exceeded what we would have received from the Princess tour. We would highly recommend this tour.

Staff on the whale watching cruise were very knowledgeable and accommodating despite bad weather. We saw humpback whales within a few feet of the boat. Also we were able to see an eagle and sea lions. Mt Roberts is very neat. We would have loved to hike on the mountain but it was raining heavily. I was disappointed in the meal however. The waiters were confused with our voucher. We could not order from the menu. Instead we were provided with a small piece of baked salmon and salad. It was good but the portion was very small. Nothing to drink was included with the voucher so we paid extra for our ice tea.
