Hi,
I have two linux master servers. Both are running 7.1. I want to merge the catalog of one master into another one so that I can browse the catalog in secondary master. What are the steps I need to follow for this. Both are different master servers in different networks with different hostnames and IPs. Without renaming or changing the IPs of my secondary master, can I merge or move the catalog from 1st server to 2nd
Hi all,
I am kindly new with Symantec Backup Exec. I am interested in licensing. First does Symantec Backup Exec server software cost? Second I have 3 physical and 6 virtual servers that I need to backup. I understand that I need 3 Agent for Windows. On two physical servers I have 6 virtual server total. One physical servers is standalone. Does it mean that I need to buy 6 Agent for VMware and Hyper-V?
Does Symantec Backup Exec software must to be instaled on standalone server or not?
Thank you for all information.
Good morning,
I am running into an issue with an SBS 2003 box, where I cannot restore the System State. It is SBS 2003, with all of the latest patches with BE 2012 Build 1798.
Notes:
- Single server envronment
- I have been running successful backups to an ISCSI NAS connected as a local Drive. We do not have a SDR.
- Recently the domain has become corrupted on the server. I can boot the server, but it thinks it has a different computer name, we will call that name "Confused".
- The ISCSI services are failing as well, where I cannot connect to the NAS from the server. I can successfully connect and access the backup files on another workstation, and share the files.
- All other data is intact. I only need System State.
Tasks completed:
- Create new storage device, and point it to the share on the workstation \\path\veritas\b2d. Inventory is successful, Catalogs fails with errors that the media is not in the index, even after a successful inventory. The backup sets do populate and I can run a catalog on the individual sets.
- On the Backup\Restore tab "Servers" I have two servers listed, the correct server name, and the "Confused" server name, both of which are the same server.
- If I try to run a System state restore from the "correct" server name, I am prompted for storage to restore From, but I only have the Device that is offline, not the new device. (That is pointing to the new drive share with all of the backup files). If I try from the "Confused" server name, the restore options are blank and I cannot proceed.
- I have added a local admin account to backup exec and started all services with that account. That account also has full access to the share I created and I can access the data from Windows with that login account.
Questions:
- How do I get the "Correct" server in Backup and Restore tab to see the new data store so I can access the backups?
- How can I get "Confused""Backup and Restore" server to be able to restore (Blank page)?
My Backup is 2008 R2 running BE 2012.
My MS SQL is 2012 R2 running SQL 2012.
I have both simple and full model DBs.
I have two main jobs: One for Full DBs and one for Simple DBs.
Backing up the simple BDs is pretty right forward.
Just one Full backup job.
Then a Duplicate to tape job.
The full model DBs is where it get vague.
I have 8 Full model DBs and three of them generate a large amount of T-Logs.
So what is the best practice to keep the T-Logs from growing to large?
Right now I have a daily Full (at 8pm) which is then dupicated to tape.
A single daily Log Incremental (at 11pm) No dupicate to tape.
Questions:
Should I add a differental and where should it go in the schedule?
I have one BDs that need to be backed up every four hours between 6am and 6pm.
Backups were failing with 84 & 87 error intermittently - Destination Storage is Pure Disk Pool
Again the same backup is getting suuccessful in the next successive using different job ID
Error Code: 84

Also attached the error part in the bptm log from media server
Client Read & Connect timeout for the respective Media servers - 1800 sec
IS it due to any DPS/Timeout polling time out issue or any other issue ?
Hi Team,
Today I got a chance to configure a report in OPS center, and i came to see that there is no option for creating a report which can run multiple times a day with a single schedule.
We have Recurrence Tab in Schedule , but it just starts from Daily , weekly , Monthly, Yearly. .
Why cant we create it on Hourly basis also. Customer who wishes to see their report for every 2 Hours (like archive backups) can use that.
Now i have created 12 schedules for every 2 hours each and mapped to a single report . if that option is there we would have used it.
Hellow.
BackupExec 14.1 (1786)
Exchange 2013 CU6 (2 servers in DAG)
I have a problem, after backup job of 4 database (FullBackup), backupexec say me that all OK, but one database in Exchange remain LastFullBackup parameter very old, and log not truncate.
In WIndows event log i have 4 Event 2046, they log says that all DB is backedup and log mast be truncated:
The Microsoft Exchange Replication service VSS Writer instance 3751151a-8db4-469a-9203-c07117197567 has successfully completed the backup of database 'MbxDB03'.
Database log truncation has been requested for this database. Log truncation will occur on the active copy after the next log generation is created. Log truncation will occur automatically on the passive copies after that log file is copied.
Why one database MbxDB03 not be in backuped state ? Please help me resolve problem.
Hi,
Trying to figure out if I can get details of all the jobs which actually became successful after multiple reties and the one which failed after all retries. There is a report for status rate but I need information about job details too.

Hi peeps,
I wonder if anyone can help me out? I'm using Backup Exec 2014 and ive set my backups to expire after 14 days, but I'm constantly having to manually clean up my drive. The sets are blue and show as "Expired" but I have to manually "Expire" them to delete them, its not cleaning them up itself. Then I have around 50 that just will not "Expire" at all so I cant get rid of those.
Can anyone tell me how I get the "Expired" sets to auto "Expire" without user input? Also any ideas how I can delete the 50 odd that will not "Expire" at all?
Thanks
JK
This problem started after upgrading backup exec 2010 r3 sp3 to sp4. Every other day the backup of exchange mailbox failing with following error.
V-79-57344-759 - Unable to complete the operation for the selected resource using the specified options for the following reason: VFF Open Failure. This can be caused by low memory or disk resources.
No changes on exchange server. Was working fine for several years. Also, the memory and cpu usage on exchange server is normal
I don't seem to be able to create an SRD from within SRR2013. Another thread supposedly had a link to the SRD ISO, but it turns out to be a link for the SRR Server Trial. Would appreciate a valid link or clarification on the file location to use if trying to create from within the application.

Hello,
can someone explain me how can I move (migrate) already created backups from disk to tapes?
I apologize beucase I am asking "simple" question but I am admin for one other B&R solution and I just received BE in scope because BE admin has vacation. And already have urgent problem...
That other solution which I am using, has disk storege pool for backups, from which data (backups) are automatically migrated to tapes, when disk stg utlization is more than 90%. There is also possibility to schedle migration D2T to execute when all backups are done.
Is there any similar solution? How can I implement it in BackupExec 2010?
Thank you very much on your time and help!
Few netbackup client 6.5.6 , having 130 error's
Can any one please give me the resolution for this error's
Hi Guys,
Merry Christmas to everyone.
Need a little help with some mess from yesterday 25/12/2014
So we have 4 tapes labelled week 1 to week 4 and a Monthly tape. I was suppose to backup to Monthly tape yesterday 25/12/2014 and instead used tape labelled Week 2.
I have looked up about relabelling which apparently does a quick erase before allowing to re-label which obviously isn't an option here.
Here is the schedule and I want to know my options?
Thursday to Tuesday Differential tape and Wednesday's any of the labelled tapes.
I would be grateful if anyone could help.
P.S The tapes go out to third party backup specialists on weekly basis i.e. next week they will be expecting the tape labelled Monthlydd-yy and not Week-x..
Tool used for backup is BackupExec 2010
Thanks
we use Backup Exec 2014 for backup in our company. our dedup storage size 15 tb and in cas view show 9.78 tb used and rest of them free. but in windows explorer side there is only 770 gb free and still reduce this size. on the other hand backup sets shows lots of expired backup sets exist and no deleting for 3 months maybe later.
Also ı found some documents for manual reclaimin and test it 100-200 gb size deleted.
please help us any idea is useful.
thanks
I am facing issue in Backup exec 2014. When i started backup exec console then it first ask for credentials and then gave an error "Backup exec management services could not be started. Backup exec database is offline, turn it online then restart backup exec services"

Hello Experts,
Two media are frozen and i could see logs as it contains tar-format data and cannot be used for backups in netbackup.
I could see its size as 0 kilobites.
Pls let me know what can be done to reuse the tapes.
Thanks,
Hello,
I am running NBU 7.5.0.6, RH Linux Master and media servers.
we are migrating to Exchange 2010, and while we do plan on using the Exchange agent, currently I am simply trying to do an OS backup of the servers (we will be migrating to DAG env). So I added the new exchange servers to a regular Windows policy, with the ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES directive, and setup the appropriate excludes for Exchange (though exchange has yet to be installed), and it is taking over 2.5 hours to backup 14GB of data. If I explicitly list the local drives (5 in total), the backup takes less than 15 minutes.
From the bpbkar log, it appears the snapshots are taking almost exactly 30 minutes for each drive (sample output below)...

Hello,
i recently did a fresh install of our Backup Exec Server, upgrading form 2012 SP4 to 2014.
I set up the jobs from scratch, installed the new agent on all servers, made a new Dedupe Storage, like i would start from the beginning.
Now i get this error message when i do a Backup to Dedupe:
0xe000842 A memory allocation request failed. The computer may be running low on virtual memory.
Insufficient memory availableI changed the location of the catalogs folder as described in this article: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?pag...
but it didn`t work out.
Backup to Disk works fine.
I tried it without the "Advanced Disk Based Backup" Option and this works so far.
Hello,
I think I have just a quick question here. I have license for SSR 2013 which is installed and activated.
How can I release this license to reinstall on another PC? Basically I just want to move the installation to a different PC, still just one PC it will be installed on.
Does uninstalling via Control Panel communicate with the Symantec server to release the license or do I need to do something else?
Thanks much
Allen
