So I’m sure all of you are aware of the challenges NetBackup engineers go thru when it comes to troubleshooting a slew of status codes that NetBackup has to offer when something doesn’t work right.  If you have ever navigated through the manuals DVD that comes with your NetBackup software pack, then you know that NetBackup is a big deal when it comes to troubleshooting a problem.  The troubleshooting guide alone has status codes from 1 to 914!!  Okay I know that it skips some numbers there in between but still that is large amount of codes to get familiarized on! So today I will to

NetBackup Tuning: Part 1 – Shared Memory

Here at the DLT Service Center we regularly get questions around NetBackup Performance Tuning.  So many, in fact, I am starting a “Tuning NetBackup” series, so many of you can tune your own environment.  Of course if you receive your support through the DLT Service Center, you can just give us a ring at 888.358.7658, and we’ll walk you through tuning procedures.

In my previous blog I touched upon OpsCenter… but what is this whole de-duplication about?  Why do I care?  Simply put, I can de-duplicate everywhere in my NetBackup Environment.  Everywhere?  Yes, everywhere!

My prior posting discussed imagery (either satellite or LIDAR) as a standalone solution in the AEC world.  Today we’re going to dig a bit deeper into the integration of imagery into some of today’s most powerful AEC software tools.  Once you’ve gone through the time and expense of identifying an area of interest (AOI), procuring the imagery and reviewing it for accuracy – why not integrate it into your design softw
