Veritas backup exec

da209

I just inherited responsibility for a system and need some help with replacing backup media. Can anyone point me to documentation on how to get veritas to accept a brand new set of tapes and just forget about the old set? I tried importing them but it wasn't happy and now shows the drive as off line.

The Bridging trick

glarus

I was at a friend of mine and I saw how easy is to bridge two LAN cards on a PC with WinXP - just mark and click. Does anyone know how this can be done on Windows NT 4 ? (I suppose it's not just a couple of clicks).

Be careful with the latest two security updates

PTS

I noticed a patch for IE and one for DAC, so I downloaded them and rebooted. I noticed that nothing that usually loads at startup actually did so. Not even my Antivirus. Strange indeed! So I tried to load at least one of them post boot and I get some wierd error message about the file not being there, but it was.
