I need a solution

Hello,

I have backup exec 2014 installed on server [server1].  Then I have one more Hyper-V host server [Server2]. And in Hyper host server I have multiple hyper-v guest servers including [Server3].

I want to backup VM [Server3] from [Server1]. Backup exec Remote agent is installed on [Server3] but remote agent is not installed on host server [server2].

I have license for Hyper-V. But while trying to backup VM [server3] my backup exec server [server1] is not able to take backup [server3] i am getting error remote agent is not found on host server [server2].

So my query is...Do i required backup exec remote agent installed on Hyper-V host system [Server2].. to backup guest VM...

 Thanks,

Santosh Pawar.


Connection to SQL Database

I need a solution

Hi All,

I am running Backup Exec 2014; Version 14.1 Rev. 1786 (Latest)
On Windows Server 2012 R2

Recently Backup Exec 2014 just finished it's trial time.
I was previously able to connect to and backup SQL.
I had already installed all of the required licenses on the server prior to this time.

After the period ended, I am able to receive a connection from within Backup Exec to any of the SQL servers, but cannot open or backup the database in the selection list (I receive an incorrect logon error) The Backup error was not helpful either.
I am able to connect to and backup Sharepoint and Exchange which are connected to the same license, Applications and Databases.

Any help much appreciated,
Steve

Job failing at the end when additional media required

I need a solution

Hi,

I'm new to my backup support role so apologies if I'm missing something basic here.  I'm after some helps or pointers please to a strange situation.

I have a backup job running on Backup Exec 2014 (SP2 installed).  The job itself takes over a week and the last time it ran I gave it 11 tapes to chew through as this is what it needed last time, however, this time the data had grown and an extra tape was required.  I inserted a brand new tape, scanned the slot, and the job continued.  The issue I have is that when it got to the end, the job failed with the error:

A communications failure has occurred

The connection to target system has been lost. Backup set canceled.

If the job will fit onto the tapes that I give it from the start then it doesn't fail, if it requires more then I get the failure, the same happened the last time it ran.

As I mentioned earlier, I'm just getting to grips with all of this so any help or pointers would be much appreciated.

Backup Set On Tape Not Deleted When Expired (Tape Is Full)

I need a solution

Hy Guys,

This is my first Post on SymConnect, I had Symantec Backup Exec 2014 SP 1 Project on 4 Month ago. Let me explain that first :

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Sunday - Thursday = Incremental Job : 8 Tape

  • Sunday On Week 1 : Tape 1 ------ Thursday On Week 1 : Tape 4
  • Sunday On Week 2 : Tape 5 ------ Thursday On Week 2 : Tape 8

Media Set is "Incremental Job"

  • Overwrite Protection Period : 8 Days
  • Append Period : Infinite - Allow Append

# Friday = Full Backup Job : 4 Tape

  • Week 1 : Tape 1
  • Week 2 : Tape 2
  • Week 3 : Tape 3
  • Week 4 : Tape 4

Media Set is "Full Job"

  • Overwrite Protection Period : 3 Weeks
  • Append Period : Infinite - Allow Append

# Job Settings

When The Job Begins : "Append To Media, Overwrite If No Appendable Media Is Available"

Media Overwrite Protection Level :  "Full - Protect allocated and Imported Media"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, My Tape for FullBackup Job Is Full. There are many expired Backup Set still exist on all of my Tape!

Can you tell me Why?

And give me advise, best practice to configure OPP and Append, So when my backup Job Run For the second time with the same tape, the last backup set will be overwriten/replaced with new backup set.

Cheers!

How to find maximum block size for tape device.

I need a solution

Hi All,

We have netbackup 7.1 installed on Solaris server. We are using LTO4 & LTO5 tapes for backup. I need a help to find the maximum block size for LTO4 & LTO5 tapes. Is there any way to find it out from netbackup end.

Some NDMP jobs are there in my environment and Data buffer size for NDMP is 64kb which reduce the backup throughput. I wanted to change it to 256kb for better performance but before that I wanted to check the maximum block size of tape.

Thanks in advance.

I need a solution

We are backing up an ESX virtual server 2012 box and getting an exception 

"During Granular Recovery Technology (GRT) operations, the necessary boot configuration files could not be loaded. Backups that were enabled for GRT may not be available for restore"

which means we cant do a granular recovery.

This server has 4 disks spread across 2 datastores.

Any ideas how to fix this.?

Add servers to Central Administration

I need a solution

Hello.

We currently manage about 20 different BackupExec servers in our organisation, all varying versions.  It is my understanding that I can install the Backup Exec Central Administration option and add my servers to manage (view job status, etc) from one server in a consolodated list as opposed to logging on to 20 different servers.  I have installed a trial version but cannot see an obvious way to add the other servers to manage.  Can anyone help please?

Thanks,

Backup Failure E00084AF

0
0
I need a solution

Hello,

I've got Backup Exec 2014 SP2 (version 14.1) running on a Windows 2012 R2 server. One of the jobs is the back up to a LTO-5 tape library of some VMs, databases and a file server. It runs in the evening: incrementally from Monday to Thursday and a full back up every Friday.

Most of the job is OK (VM's and SQL DB's hosted on a server other than the file server). However the file server fails nearly every time. The failure point changes every time it fails, so it cannot be caused by one specific directory/file. Once BE "decides" that the directory or file was not found or could not be accessed, all the directories that are after the problematic one in alphabetical order will be ignored as not found or not accessible. The same file/directory may be backed up the next day without a problem. 

The file server is the last part of the job but the failure is random in appearance: it is not time specific or path specific. It cannot be linked to a specific file format either. And sometimes the job runs successfully with the whole file server backed up.

The most frequent error code is E00084AF (about 50% of the time) then E000FE09. 

Note that the file server is currently hosted on a server that also hosts VM's. Those VM's are backed up in a separate, longer job to a LTO-6 tape library.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

nbstlutil command fails with ": invalid NetBackup configuration: EMM Server is not defined"

I need a solution

Hi,

I have just received a replacement work PC, I installed the Remote Admin Console as before but find that a number of Netbackup commands fail due to an "undefined EMM Server".

Some commands can be run if I specifiy the EMM Server explicity but others such as nbstlutil fail to run no matter which parameters I specify, including "nbstlutil help" which generates ": invalid NetBackup configuration: EMM Server is not defined".

Old PC = Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 32bit

New PC = Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 64bit

Both PCs had Netbackup 7.5 installed and patched to 7.5.0.7

Do you know what configuration setting might be missing on my PC that means that it is unable to identify the EMM Server?

Thanks,

Alun.
