I need a solution

Hi 

I have total of about 32 TB of dedup data that will be in the dedup storage including the retention and daily and weekly backups. 

Can i present 32TB lun to backup exec server ? I read in one article in this forum that it supports only 16TB whereas one says 32 TB .

Is there any symantec article which mentions the correct figure ?

Disaster recovery of backup exec server

0
0
I need a solution

I have a BE 2014 server with only target storage which is dedup storage. I do not have any other disk or tape storage. 

I am guessing its a bad idea to have even the BE server backup go to the dedup storage cos i am not sure how to recover in case the media server crashes. 

For the backup exec server to be recovered I believe i need the catalog and data folder first before I can import the dedup folder ?

as per TECH187911 I need to backup the disk/drive where the dedup storage resides and back it up to tape. But in my case I dont have a tape device 

Any other alternatives ?

BackupExec 2012 fails Exchange GRT backup after GRT restore

0

I need a solution

SBS 2011 (Server 2008 R2, Exchange 2010, SQL 2008), Backup Exec 2012, all fully patched. RD1000 USB 3.0 backup drive.

Backups of system and Exchange running flawlessly since build three years ago.  Performed random restores of files/Shareport/Exchange (always full), no errors.

A week ago I needed to do a GRT restore of a user's folder and 97 messages.  Worked great, no errors, then suddenly the GRT backup fails with the following:

Capture.PNG

Further, Exchange transaction log files aren't being purged.  Seeing Events 9287 and 2007 in Application log.

Ran Windows Server Backup to test, worked fine, purged transaction logs.

Tried running BEX 2012 full backup of Exchnage only with GRT disabled, same error.  Tried with AOFO disabled, GRT enabled, failed.  Tried with both disabled, worked fine.

To add insult to injury, if I remove the login account for BEX from the Exchange Address Book, no Exchange backup occurs.

Any ideas?

Where are backup jobs stored ????

0
0
I need a solution

I had to recovery my "C" drive from a few weeks ago.  The problem is that I had created a number of incremental  backup jobs that gone because they were created after my recovery point.  I do have a backup of the C drive I made before I did the restore.  Where are the backup job files stored?  I can restore only the file or folder that contains the jobs from the most current backup and have by backup jobs back.

I could manually recreate the jobs, but they are backup of  about 1TB each and I do not have room on my backup location to start a new backup series.

Library Insert Alert

I need a solution

Dear all,

I fnd the backup job always alert the Library insert message after it had been ran on 2 or 3 Sundays. Sunday is the beginning of backup cycle. The BE will change the tapes when the new backup cycle begins. I check the media writable peroid is only 1 day. But if I restart the BE server, the job is working normally, no need to do anything. 

my BE is 2012 v14.0 Rev.1798 64bit, windows 2008 R2 Standard SP1. The tape library is IBM DS 3524.

Do you have the same problem, and how to slove it?

Thanks.

I need a solution

Hi All,

I try to follow the below technote to grant the security policy, however, the service "Backup Exec Server" wont able to start on the DC.

https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH136...

Can the service run without domain admin permission if the backup exce installed on DC?

Also, if possible, can we use remote console to connect (that account is not a doamin admin) , but the service accouint is domain admin.

I granted an account can remote desktop to dc without the domain admin privilege , but not able to open the console from DC or from another server to connect DC.

BE14 performance issues after replacing drive

0
0
I need a solution

We use a neo400 with 3 drives. Already had to replace one drive without any problems, just setting the firmware straight for all 3. Now I had to replace another drive and after putting all backup-jobs back, still got some severe performance-issues with the replacement-drive.

Normally around 11h and with 2000mb/Min. Now still running after 12h with a performance of 1000MB/Min and still got 7 servers to backup out of 21 (daily-3.jpg). I set all drives to firmware E6R3 and the neo214 is on C.40, with Backup Exec 14 is this the right settings or do I have to change (neo214.jpg & neo214_tapedrives.jpg). 

What still bother me is, that after rebooting both server CAS & MMS and several times the be-services, there are still differences in the device manager show-up (cas_be14.jpg & mms_be14.jpg).


BE 2014 - Backing up Hyper-V with remote VHDX

0
0
I need a solution

Hi there,

currently we are building up a hyper-V configuration with two nodes that we plan to run in a cluster. Currently I run one node on which I installed an agent. I can create a new backup job on the hyperv-node but the jobs fail with the following error message (roughly translated from german):

0xa000966a - virtual computers, that use remote vhd or vhdx-files can't be backed up. please use backup exec for windows on the virtual machine for backup and restore-operations.

Indeed we use a remote SMB-storage for our virtual hard discs. 

I know that I can create separate backup jobs for my vms, but it would be a lot easier to do this from the hyper-v job and how about the restore-options, if one vm may fail? Would'nt it be easier to recover a vm from a hyper-V-job than from a manually created job for each vm?

Does the latest BE-version support remote vhd(x)?

Thanks and regards

Marcel

Setting Yearly schedule in Netbackup

0
0
I need a solution

I'm in need of editing some 20 policies on each NBU master server which we have set at different branch office locations. What I'm supposed to do is just set yearly backup schedule for next 5 years, Like you see in the image.

yearly schedule.JPG

But I do not find an alternate to mentioning the specific date.

I'm looking for something like setting "Recurring weekday" backup or "Recurring month" backup. Is there anything like recurring year ?

If such option is not available what is the quickest way to achieve this ?
