Hello,
in the Snapshot Compatibility List (http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH126901 ), there is a section "Disk". I see that it reports supported snapshot combinations which are independent on array vendor. But can somebody explain difference between Local and Shared Disk sections?
Because, for example, "Local Disk" section contains also Alternate Client methods, so the disk must also "Shared" in some way here.

I am in Symantec management console and I am trying to deploy SSR 2013 R2 to our users. I was able to deploy the management agents, but I can't quite figure out how to deploy the 2013 package to the computers. If there is a good walkthrough of this, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Hello everyone,
I'm currently running Backup Exec 2015 and I'm backing up 43 VM's, devided over 1 vCenter and 3 ESXi hosts. I'm connecting to the vCenter server in order to get full VM backups - which is the preferred method for this company.
The problem is, if I add or remove VM's, Backup Exec will throw out warnings. The list is not up-to-date, and the only way to retrieve a new up-to-date VM list is to manually log into Backup Exec and press the Refresh button (screenshot attached).
I'd like to automatically refresh the VM list before the backup job starts, is this possible somehow?
We have a Server 2012 standard running Backup Exec 2015. Last night I have been getting this error a lot. I've encountered this before but It just seems to vanish and clear itself on it own and backups return to normal.
What is the cause and what can be done to remedy the issue? I can still see all these files on the server but for some reasone BE can't find them or access them.
V-79-57344-41488 - Due to one or more errors in \\Server.local\D:, this backup cannot be used for conversion to virtual machines, Simplified Disaster Recovery (SDR), or a complete online restore. Directory User Shares\userA\ was not found, or could not be accessed. None of the files or subdirectories contained within will be backed up. V-79-57344-33967 - The directory or file was not found, or could not be accessed.
hi
we are in the process of migrating BE license from an old server to a new server
do i have to remove the license from the old server and completely uninstall that BE from it in order to activate BE on the new server?
or can we still shave it installed and licensed for a failback operation if the migration didnt work pretty well ?
thanks
I have a Tandberg LTO6 autoloader & BE2012 that I support at one site, and an Overland LTO6 autoloader & BE15 at another. All tapes at both sites are bar-coded.
At the Tandberg/BE2012 site, when I rotate previously used, but now overwritable, tapes into the slots and do a Scan from BE, the tapes are shown with their correct labels and are recognized.
At the Overland/BE15 site, when I do the same thing, the tapes that I've just loaded show the correct Barcode and Media Label, and all other columns for that matter. But in the Description column, it shows "(Unknown media)". If I inventory those slots, (or just let BE choose those tapes for a backup) the "(Unknown media)" designation goes away.
There's no practical difference, so this is really just curiosity, but why are tapes at the Tandberg/BE2012 site recognized correctly, and those at the Overland/BE15 site "unknown" until I inventory or reuse them? Is it an Option setting? Difference between BE2012 and BE15 media management? Autoloader hardware difference?
Hello,
I am performing a test restore of a Windows 2012 R2 file server. It was backed up using Backup Exec 2014 with SP2 + hotfix 227745. The Backup Exec media server is also running Windows Server 2012 R2.
The file server was backed up using the BE agent running on the file server. It has a C: drive (OS), a D: drive (most of the file data) and an E: drive (more file data).
I am restoring to a test VM and booting the VM using a restore CD created on the Backup Exec media server above.
The CD boots fine, it sees my attached backup media hard drive and reads the simplified restore information file fine.
However, I get an error message at the partitioning disk step. The Backup Exec restore environment lists just the D: drive under the "Mismatched Volumes" list even though there is a drive large enough to hold the D: data.
In the Advanced Disk Configuration screen, I can partition and format the new volume that will hold the restored D: drive data. This works fine as long as I give this new empty drive some letter other than D:. But as soon as I change the drive letter to D:, I get a popup error message, "The minimum size required for this volume [D:] is : 8.59 TB." and I cannot continue.
The C: and E: drives are prepared for restore by Backup Exec fine. Just the D: drive has this problem.
D: is different in that it has Windows Server 2012 R2 file deduplication turned on on the original file server. This is supposed to be supported and I have plenty of room on the new disk that is the restore target even accounting for unduplication of restored data (as is described in the Backup Exec admin guide).
Has anyone seen this as well?
Thanks,

Hello,
I receive an error every time I try to configure an Amazon S3 bucket as a storage device I get the error: BEMSDK Failure Code: A0009B23.
I am running on server 2012 R2, using Backup Exec 15 FP1.
I have gone through and installed the latest update that hot fixed this connection issue with S3. I have followed the how to doc for connecting S3 as a storage device. I have disabled the firewall to see if that was the issue. I created a user specified account in AWS to try accessing the S3 buckets. I tried my admin credentials as well and am still unable to connect, receiving the same error.
I have looked online as well as this forum to see if there is a solution but have found none. I am wondering if anyone has had the same problem and if so has come up with or found a solution.
Thank you!
Hi,
I'm planning to update NB version 7.6.0.4 to 7.6.1.2 ... Before that I want to know NB 7.6.1.2 is supports ESX 4.1 or not. Current version is supporting and working fine.
Hi All,
We are taking backup of raw devices where we have found 30TB of raw data backed up to a single LTO4 tape.LTO4 tape capacity has a capacity of 800GB uncompressed data , It takes upto 1.6TB of compressed data but 30TB of data has been written onto the tape. Eventhough we have 20 Tapes assigned to that specific pool only two Tapes are being utilized. If raw data will the capacity of tape differ. Could anyone please clarify?
Thanks in advance
Is there a logic what BE2010R3 uses when restoring data from a library.
We have a backup job that currently uses 12 tapes (slots 1 to 12), I've started a restore (90mb) and I can see the job status switching between queued/loading media which has now been running 2h:45m
I do have blank tapes in slots 13 to 23 but I'm wondering what's going on?
Hello
Is there a way of adding email alert functionalty to a Test run, i have configured a scheduled one before the backup job runs.it was succesful but i would like an email too (to avoid me manually checking)
A prime example which happens quite alot is the designated Tape changer is off or sick or just forgotten, then i could contact them to advise there is no tape
Thanks all
ps Apoligies if the option is there and easy fix
Hello Folks,
Could anyone please share the process of opscenter integration to BPPM ( BMC proactiveNET performance management).
Opscenter version = 7.6.0.4
Opscenter server = Windows 2008
I've been running BE15 for a while and it started out good, but lately my VMware backups have drastically slowed down. It seems to be related to SQL and Exchange stores throwing up GRT errors:
The strange thing is that the error message doesn't match the error description, the server names are totally different. All VMs have the latest agent installed. I've seen a 400GB Differential backup go from 6hrs to 12hrs, with the only difference being the job now throws out these errors.
Anyone know what is going on here?

Hello , i was looking around if there any way to take online - hot backup for Sybase DBs using NetBackup 7.6.1.1 as it was stated by the admins that they cannot have online backups so they have a backup window to backup the data to a local disk then Veritas will take the data from the local drives , cannot Veritas take the backups online directly !?
We have a requirment for DLO 8 and i have a couple of quick questions:
1- What is the possibilty of a user accessing another users backups and getting data of them, for example the admin accessing/browsing another users data and reading it.
2- When the user wants to access their own data, do they authenticate using Active Directory credentials or DLO credentials?
3- Is there a document on how DLO integrates with Active Directroy? and another one that highlights the security levels that DLO offers? A breif about these two areas would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I think BE 2010 R3 interface better than 2012/2014/2015. The Be 2010 Interface is not used too much mouse click to access everything.
BE 2012/2014/2015 is worst interface. Everyone like simple and easy interface with new tech is OK.
Hi,
I have been using 3600 Appliance for a while to back up to disk, but I have just moved my tape backups to this also and Im currenlty testing.
I have BackupExec 2015 installed.
Previoulsy i was using Netbackup for tape backups. This would always write a catalog tape after the backups had finished.
My question is what is the best practice for BackupExec.
I see a "DisasterRecoveryBackup" runs everyday. Are the catalogs stored in there? and should I back this up to tape also..
Or in a disaster scanerio is it just a case of right clicking the tapes and running "catalog"
Any advice and tips would be very welcome.
Thanks

Hi, one of my client is evaluating backup exec 2015, so we just installed the trial version. If my information is right, to receive technical support from a symantec technician you need to buy the software and also buy the support options since support does not come with the purchase of the product. Is my information right?
I was wondering if we have support during trial, or maybe the first 30 days after purchase?
Thanks
