Hi,
In master server host properties ----> Clean-up ----> Keep logs value is set for 60 days.
In registry - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ---> SOFTWARES ---> VERITAS ---> NETBACKUP ---> CURRENTVERSION ---> CONFIG ---> KEEP_LOGS_DAYS value is showing Decimal and Hexadecimal value as 3.
Are these values for different things or what?
By default logs are kept for 28 days, right? Are all three pointing at the the same logs?
Hi Guys,
I am having an issue where my Backup Exsec Management Service is not starting. I have found the following in the Event Log. Does anyone know why this is happening?
An exception occured starting remoting services for Backup Exec Management Service:
System.ServiceModel.AddressAlreadyInUseException: There is already a listener on IP endpoint 0.0.0.0:50104. This could happen if there is another application already listening on this endpoint or if you have multiple service endpoints in your service host with the same IP endpoint but with incompatible binding configurations. ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted

I am using BExec 2010 R3 Rev 5204 with a PowerVault 124T tape device connected via SAS. My current issue is that backup jobs job status goes into a "queued" state indefinitely. (No other jobs are running).
Interestingly, catalog jobs instead fail with an error of "Unable to acquire device for the specified pool and media". Sometimes a catalog job will also error with "Error - Mount failed Physical Volume Library Drive not found."
Device Manager shows:
1. "Tape Drive"> IBM Ultrium
2. "Medium Changer Devices"> Dell Powervault 124T Autoloader
Ideas are all appreciated!
Had an issue last week and it was caused by installing SEP on a windows server 2008 R2 with BE2014. It caused my job to stay active : Queued and would not recognize the d:drive where the backup data was being stored. Turns out support disabled the SEP firewall to get it to run. Exceptions in SEP would not work or allow the backup to run. They left off that I should contact SEP support since a recent update may have caused this. My issue occurred immediately after installtion but maybe an update it brought in caused the issue? Anyone else with this issue?
Hello my friends,
Why microsoft outlook stays starting for a long time when backup is running?
Many times I have to close DLO Agent and reboot Outlook.
This problem is not often, but if it happens with many users in the company.
Please some comments would be helpful.
I attach the picture of my problem.
Thanks
As my last post, I did not set MMS to stand alone properly before reinstalling BE2014 and db on CAS. Then I cannot open MMS console with error cannot connect to database.
After I reinstalled BE2015 and DB on CAS I can now open the BE2014 on MMS. But found it cannot detect the drive which has ever created storage when setup jobs in CAS. When I tried to create storage on MMS, it did not provide the drive with BEData folder in it.
What can I do to make MMS to use the storage drive which has ever been used by CAS jobs? Thanks
Hello Experts,
I need to the the actual active elapsed time by the client in netbackup.
I tried to extract the report in Reports:- Client Backups:- Put the client name selected date and time range
But got only Elapsed time not the Active Elapsed so pls help.
Thanks so very much :)
Hello Experts,
We are taking flat file backup for solaris 11 clients with one policy that is not cross mount enabled.
inside home directory every time a user gets created netbackup assuming it a new mount point and skipping it and in restoration we could see home
directory is empty
We have to take complete backup of /export/home but problem is we have already a polclicy and we dont want to create new policy for this and dont want to enable cross mount point in the existing policy.
Pls let us now how to proceed on this.
Hello Experts,
We have 2 solaris clients that we have flat file backups and these take almost 12-15 hours to get completed due to very small files on the clients.
So do you recommend if we take multistreaming backups of these clients this would take less time and help us we can not go for flash backup.
But what about the I/O procressing of the client if we enable 4-5 streams per servers on the policy.?
Is there any performance issue on client?
Pls help thanks so very much.
Hello,
Can anybody tell me what is the best way to restore EV server with Backup exec.
We have implemented EV 10 for FSA, and we regullary backup it with Backup Exec 2014 as EV site.
Now, we need to restore that EV server.
We build new EV server with same hostname, DNS alias and with same evservice account (old server is not functional anymore).
We installed all components and EV just as the old one...
Now, we want to restore old EV from backups with Backup Exec - all associated databases, vault stores, vault store partitions, indexes...
Can anybody tell me, what is the proper way to do it?
Thank you in advance.

Hello Everyone
i have serious problem with Backup Exec Admin Console, its very Slow , Sometime its take 15 minutes to open the console , editing the jobs are worst it takes10-20 minutes to edit a job (sometime with query time out.)
i can see SQL Information & Storage Error related log in Windows Event viewer as Below:

i tried to Repair BEDB but BEUtility cant connect to SQL server , with error of "Cannot Start SQL Server Service" ,i tried to fix that with Changing registry setting for SQL Instance then its gets worst ! windows gone in complete fail ( after restarting server , all the windows services failed to start) so i changed back registry keys.
this server is so important for us , we cannot reload the database we have more than 200 Jobs on it with 150 TB of Backup data.
I really apperciate it if anyone can help me with that.
thanks
Hello.
We are using BE 2014 (fully patched to date) and Windows Server 2008 R2, and a Tandberg Data T24 robotic library
I have a 2TB backup job using the VMWARE AVVI client that has backed up to disk and needs duplicating to tape.
The original duplication job appeared to succeed writing to tape, but there was a SCSI hardware failure on verify, with error code E0008445.
I reset the tape library, which appeared to happen correctly, and I have subsequently restarted the backup server.
Not wishing to trust the tape backup taken for this duplication, I have retired the tape it was using on the previous duplication, and I have tried twice to duplicate the backup set on disk to tape again.
I am now receiving error E0009585 from each duplication job, which appears to tell me that the backup on disk is corrupt. "V-79-57344-38277 - Unable to open a disk of the virtual machine.""... is a corrupt file. This file cannot verify. V-79-57344-38277 - Unable to open a disk of the virtual machine."
Seeing as it appeared to be successful in duplicating originally, and only failed on a library failure, I find it hard to believe that now the disk based backup is corrupt. There are 3 x vmdk files in this backup set, and all are reporting as corrupt.
I have performed an incremental backup of this server, which has been successful in both backup and duplication to the same library.
The backup server is currently busy, so can;t restart services right now.
Can someone please give me some ideas of how to progress this? I'll put in a support call if necessary, but I'm about to go away for 2 days, so if there is a quick remedy, that'd be excellent!
Hello

Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe
Hi there,
Sorry to post another 'my system is running slow' query...but I really need your help and I'm keen to know what others are doing.
Brief history:
We used to use a Veeam Backup and replicate to protect our VM's. At the time Veeam could not write to tape, so we used to fire a backup exec job to push the resultant Veeam full backup file to tape. Our few physical servers would be backed via Backup Exec(2010 R2). We needed to upgrade our ageing HW and also wanted a single supplier solution.
...after much research, along cam Symantec BUE 2014, and then BUE15 (which we had to upgrade to due to a bug in BUE2014 that was fixed in BUE15)
History lesson over, now on to my problem.
I've had to spend every night nursing my BUE2014 backups for the last 5 months. I have had countless calls logged with support for a variety of issues and can only assume I'm one of VERY few customers who use BUE 15 in this way, that is, create backup jobs on a CASO server, run jobs on a primary MMS server and then duplicate the jobs to a secondary MMS server. We're using deduplicated disk storage that is local to the MMS servers. The primary MMS server also has a Dell TL2000 dual drive LTO4 tape library and our backup definitions are to run full backups at 18:00 on a Friday and Incremental jobs at 23:00 every 1 day. Further, the definition has three additional stages: 1. Duplicate the full backup to the secondary MMS server; 2. Duplicate the incremental backup to the secondary MMS server and; 3. duplicate the full backup to Tape.
...the idea being that we'll have deduplicate backups duplicated to two MMS servers (that are physically seperate from one another), but also a copy on Tape that is fully 'hydrated', e.g., not in a deduplicated state.
Each step of the above has the verify option enabled and most of my backup jobs are VMDK based (VMware 5.5). I have not installed the agent purely because few of my servers will require me to restore files/folders directly to them, e.g., I'm happy to restore to the CASO server and manually move a restored file to the correct location.
My backups are slow....I'm performing 4 concurrent jobs and at the moment I'm nearly 3 days into a full backup. The MMS servers are new; both have 12TB of disk space, plenty of CPU and 32GB of RAM. Using performance monitor I can see that CPU rarely gets above 30%, network usage about 25% and memory usage rarely hits 20% of used RAM. My disks are also idle for most of the time. These kind of performance stats would lead me to think I could increase the concurrent operations, but doing so slows down the 4 existing jobs. As I type I've actually made the decision to disabled the tape drive and will run these jobs after the 'disk' based elements have completed. I'm using 5TB out of 12TB and have noticed that windows is reporting the disk is heavily fragmented, e.g., 83%. Surely if fragmentation was an issue I'd see this in the performance monitoring stats, e.g., disk queues and such like? Also, Windows Server 2012 R2 is configured for weekly disk defrags. I have no AV software installed.
Veeam/Backup Exec 2010 managed....it just ran on old hardware and was two solutions rather than one. However I am beginning to think I've wasted my money on BUE15. I'm tired of watching my backups and tweaking things to make it work.
What sort of schedules do others use......I'm I doing tool much here? Should I opt for more incrementals and fewer full backups? (Veeam had forever incrementals.....I only ever completed one full backup).
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post...I'm tired and stressed and hoping someone will pitty me and moreover give me a snippet of information that's going to change my life!

Hi.
Can Backup Exec 2015 run on Windows 8.1?
Also, what are the differences between BE2015, Symantec System Recovery 2013 R2, and Symantec Ghost Solution Suite v2.5?
Thanks,
CrVMo
