I am using Backup Exec 15 on a Windows 2012 R2 mashine.

A have already installed the FP1:

But LiveUpdate tries to reinstal it for new:

Hi Experts,

I have one RedHatLinux server named "song" and I installed NetBackup client Version7.7 on it.

There are two VMs named "songM001OAM01" and "songM002DB01" residing on "song".

For these two VMs, there are directory /var/images/song/songM001OAM01 and /var/images/song/songM002DB01 on the host server "song" to save the qcow2 files.

In each VM, there is /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file.

I create one standard policy and add client "song" to backup direcotry "/var/images/song".

My question is how can I do not backup 70-persistent-net.rules file while backing up direcotry "/var/images/song" using Symantec NetBackup.

I don't want to delete 70-persistent-net.rules file manually from each VM before doing backup.

Hallo  zusammen

ich habe einige Virtuelle Maschinen mit SQL Express. Jetzt stellt sich mir die Frage, ob eine VMDK SIcherung ausreicht oder ob ich die SQL Instanzen nach wie vor mit dem SQL Agent sichern muss, um im Wiederherstellungsfall ggf. einen konsistenten Zustand zu erreichen?

Freue mich schon auf Eure Tipps und Ideen. 

LG Thomas

I'm using Backup Exec 2014. And I want virtualize physical server Windows Server 2003 R2 with SQL Server 2000 installed.

I created One-time convertion to a virtual machine job. In the job I checked all resources.

This job finished with error: V-79-57344-833 :

The copy-only backup type is only supported by Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and later releases.

How can I convert physical server in this case?

Hello,

I've got a problem on my server.
My server is a Windows server 2008 backuping himself with a backupexec 2012. This windows server is a Domain Controller isolated and in his own domain.
He is the only one connected to a LTO4 solution.

My server crashed, I reinstalled Windows 2008 on the machine and reinstalled backupexec 2012.

When I try to restore a full backup from the tape on himself, he rejects it. I think he doesn't want to overwrite his own OS and disk.

Do you have some advice for my problem?

TLDR:
Windows server 2008 + backup exec 2012 (with LTO4 connected).
Need to restore on himself after a crash, doesn't want to restore on himself.

Hi Guys,

Regards,

I'm looking for some thoughts on where to begin looking for a problem we encountered last night.

We're running backups to a Seagate 8TB USB drive using a USB3.0 port. Typically our nightly incrementals are between 400 and 700MB/min and the full backups end up around 2000-2500MB/min.

Last night we now see a speed of 130MB/min.

We had some trouble with the USB drives and Windows not releasing the driver, so a reboot was required. (we always eject the USB media rather than just unplugging it). And we also just added a new disk to the RAID array, but the full that ran after that upgrade was fine.

Any thoughts about what to test or look for?

I'm thinking i'll just try a reboot and re-test. It seems really random.

Hi there,

We have a central NBU 7.5 server running at a remote location

We have a local Windows Standard 2008 server with 6TB that we are trying to backup for the first time but the network links are only 10MB i am told and due to be upgraded to 100MB 2nd qtr 2016

Unfortunately, the backup keeps failing

Q. Is there a way to perform a one off local backup of the Windows Standard 2008 server to local media in a particular format, and then ship that to the administrators of the NBU 7.5 server to be imported ?

Once imported, we can then continue with incrementals

Is this approach possible/feasible please ?

Many thanks in advance of any help and guidance

Hi Team,

Netbackup unable to send the DR file for catalog backup.

Hello,

I'm trying to restore the data of user that lost her information. There are over 11K files backuped in the server. When I try to restore her info, only 44 files are restored, the rest of them sent the error: Dedupe Engine is Offline.

I configured the deduplication server as himself, So, the DLO server has the storage and is the deduplication server too.

I tried to sent data to the same PC to a different location and in to a folder inside of the server, all time I recieved same erros.

I read forums inside about the error, but these documents talk about when the information is backup from client to the server. Explaining the communications error, but in this case, I have the information in the same server and trying to restore to the server itself, then, the comunication are limited only to the server.

Hi everybody!

I'm having troubles while backing up Sharepoint 2010 over Windows Server 2008 R2.

The job ends with status 2 and don't backup anything.

I really can't see where is the problem, I followed all the steps from the Sharepoing GRT guide (HOWTO73100) but the error still..

Hope somebody can help me with this.

Thansk a lot in advance.

Hi all,

Recently, we have tried to backup a DB2 server at our customer's DR site. We have copied the db2.conf and online backup from the DB2 server at Production site. Every thing is the same for both of the server except for the server's name is different. So we locate the db2.conf at <install_path>/DBEXT/db2.conf and the backup script in the same location. The question is when we ran the backup, the parent job complete without the child job even running. What could be wrong? We tried to look into bphdb log but no error recorded. As for the Production server, the backup is complete successful. 

Please advice.

Thank you

Hello,

we are using BE 15 with a Dell TL2000 LTO6 tapelibrary. Twice a day we run a tape inventory. Every first time it give the following TapeAlert Message:

Message: Information - The library was unable to read the barcode on a cartridge

On the second run everything is OK.

We don't use barcodes on the tape. We only label the tapes in BE.

On the Library i disabled the Barcode rules.

What can i do to prevent this message?

Windows 2008r2

Media/Master are on the same server.

Problem existed prior to 7.7 upgrade and new license purchase.

Problem:

Vault Manager Service not working. 'Vault Management' option in the left pane of Administration Console does not appear. Service is set to Automatic with same account details as ever other Netbackup service. I can start the service but appears to have no impact. If I start the service and reboot server, the service does not start on server start up.

Thank you
