Project Name:    Enterprise Backup System
Project Leader:  Sebastien Sabre
Report Date:     6/10/02
URL:             http://windsurf.mit.edu/ebs



Accomplishments Past Period:
----------------------------

* After the various upgrades of the E40 SAN and Netbackup infrastructure,
   our testing has revealed that we still have a lot of issues to resolve 
before
   we can start the W91 implementation.

* Established a list of open issues with the E40 NetBackup implementation

* Met with our sponsor.

* Met with asst and several Compaq representatives to identify and resolve
   the outstating issues linked to the SAN and the Tru64 OS.

* Recovered the Netbackup Master Server (dillinger) after the loss of the 
root partition.
   This unplanned outage and recovery will be used as a base for the 
bare-metal restore documentation.

* Re-activated the Netbackup Vault functionality in E40.



Goals for the Coming Period:
----------------------------

* Work with Asst and Compaq to resolve the open issues with the E40 SAN and 
Netbackup infrastructure.

* Document bare-metal restore procedure based on the recovery of the 
recovery of the Netbackup Master servers.

* Document restore test plan including various restore scenarios and detailed
   procedures.

* Complete the W91 roll out plan.

* Get buy-in from key stakeholders (ASST, R3-Admin, DOST) on the E40 
implementation.

* Start the W91 implementation

* Update project documentation and web pages.



Issues:
-------

* This project is still suffering of a shortage of ASST resources.
   This is slowing down the resolution of the outstanding issues and 
delaying the W91 implementation.
