I'm currenlty able to backup about half of my VMs onto a LTO4 tape which reaches 930GB then needs another one to finish. I already have compression enabled on the protection group. With Firestreamer I'm able to backup all nine of my VMs onto a 1.3TB SAN setup in FS as 200 tapes which takes up only 8...

I currently have DPM 2012 and Firestreamer setup with one tape library connected to a NAS. Today I added DAS to my server and set it up a another library in Firestreamer. After rebooting I noticed that DPM shows my original tape library offline and two additional tape libraries, Library-2 and Librar...

Glad to hear that.
I"m assuming I can perform and in place upgrade with DPM. Will I need to do anything to Firestreamer?

Has this been tested?

I'm moving all of my disk backups (DPM disk), to a Firestream tape library. It was an easy process on my server protection groups to change from short term disk to short term tape and specify the firestreamer tape library, but the one protection group that I have setup for workstation file protectio...

Thanks for the heads up on the AD Integration. I'm looking at this HP Server (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6859105954), and adding some Hitachi Ultrastar 3TB SATA drives to it. Will this config work with Firestreamer if I use FreeNAS?

I have an existing Dell PowerEdge 2950 that I could use as an iSCSI SAN for backups, but that only gives me about 3TB space available. I see that NetGear, Seagate and others have 10GB NAS boxes at affordable prices. Any suggestions, comments on NAS solutions others have used with Firestreamer?

John,
If I want to only allow using one drive for my external HDD how can I do that?

I've tried to run backups for all 8 of my production VMs running on Hyper-V cluster shared volumes, but the Protection Group bombs about 30min to an hour into the process. If I changed this protection group to backup to my LTO4 tape drive it works fine. What I've noticed is that when I have it set t...

I think I already know the answer to this, but want to confirm. I'd like to setup one Protection Group that backups up two different Virtual Machines each night Thursday - Saturday. I'd like each night to backup to one external HDD (Thursday-HDD, Friday-HDD, etc...). Since a protection group can onl...
