I need a solution

Hello,

We are currently running SSR-MS 2011  (Symantec Management Console Version 7.1.8400) on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64-bit. The database is Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP2) 10.0.4000.0 (X64) Express Edition, on box.

We would like to:

Have a clean install of SSR-MS 2013 on Windows Server 2012.

Install database on standalone box,  Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2

Copy/Import/Keep (meaning not have to recreate) policies, jobs, etc.

Is this possible in whole or in part?

If so, is there documentation of some sort available?

Thanks

I need a solution

Hi All,

I have a case to backup Ms.SQL using BE 2014 via SAN. The SQL server has mounted a disk from IBM Storewize.

Is it possible to do that?

As I know, it is possible to backup using offhost backup. Is it possible to using MSDP as backup disk and possible to do online backup?

Please advice.

Thank you

I need a solution

Hello Experts,

We have one tape that is going to expire today in the morning and its afternoon now. Still we could see kilobytes are there in media. Problem is DC in remote

place and we dont have media available for tonight....

1:- We have different pools. Rman is the only pool which have many tapes with differnet retention and its have many active tapes.

2:- We are not using multiple retention per media

3:- We have many active tapes in 1 month retention.

4:- Policies are with multiple retention.

Queries..

1:- Why netbackup did not expire the tape? Its still there?

2:- Can we expire it today? if we dont have media in scratch? Any issue with that manual expiration?

3:-  We have some media in Rman pool with diffenten kind of retentions? If backup fails with 96 error can we put other policies with rman pool?

      any issue with that?

I need a solution

Hi everyone,

Using SYMC BACKUP EXEC 2014 AGENT FOR VMWARE AND HYPER-V WIN PER HOST SERVER, can we do a file/folder restauration of a virtual windows machine with GRT without installing the windows agent on this VM? (knowing that this VM DOES NOT contain SQL, AD or exchange).

Thanks in advance.

SDR failed to connect to backup server

I need a solution

Hi, our backup server is BE 2014 SP1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. We are trying to restore full system of some clients by using SDR. However, after we boot the client to recover with the SDR boot CD, when it asks for connections to the backup server, although we put in the correct username and password, it always says it cannot connect to the backup server. Both the backup server and clients are in WORKGROUP. There is no domain in this network. 

Have anyone encountered this issue before? Any advice? Thanks in advance.

I need a solution

Hi all,

We have a huge file server and i've setup the backup selection as follows:

d:\folder\a*
NEW_STREAM
d:\folder\b*
d:\folder\c*
NEW_STEAM
d:\folder\d*

This works very well, but, the problem is, what if a folder on d:\folder "e" is created. Is there a way to ensure that Netbackup picks up any new subfolders of "folder"?

Thank you,

Seth

Backup Exec 2014 Disaster Recovery Issues

$
0
0
I need a solution

Hi,

I tried to test a SDR on a spare server and I received an error referring to the firmware not matching. What is the cause of this?

Secondly, I installed a fresh copy of Windows 2012R2 (with the same server name) and BE 2014 SP2 and installed an RDX drive and did an inventory and catalog of the media which retrieved all of the backup sets on the system. According to the BE best practice, I should recover the Data and Catalog folders from the backup but I am constantly advised that there are no backup sets associated with this server.

This is extremely frustrating and I need to ascertain how to do a bare metal recovery as part of a contractual requirement with my customer.

Hi,

we still use BE2010 with LTO4-Tapes in the moment and we try to upgrade this environment to BE2014 and LTO6.

I know LTO6 Drives are been able to (only) read LTO4 Tapes, but what is the best practice to restore data made by the combination BE2010 and LTO4 with the new BE2014-solution?

And is this may also possible with Tapes created with BE2012?

Thanks and regards

Norton Security + Symantec System Recovery = Problems

$

I need a solution

Friends.
I get so tired when two products from the same manufacturer collide with each other.

In my case it is Norton Security by Symantec (version 22.1.0.9) and Symantec System Recovery 2013 R2 (version 11.1.0.53728) that do not like each other.

We had no problem when we ran Norton Internet Security, but since the change of the virus software problems have succeeded each other.

The backups are interrupted in the middle and sometimes not allowed at all.

We have set both the "Network Trust" and "Device Trust" - all to allow communication with our NAS (Drobo).

But still problems ...

We work with Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for the help!

Problem converting MMS to LMS in BUE2014

$

I need a solution

Hi everyone,

Apologise to those who may have read one of my previous articles about this - unfortunately I've logged with Symantec tech support but for some reason the issue on our servers seems to be unique and as yet unresolved.  Let me explain...

I have 1 x virtual server running BUE 2014 with the CASO option installed.

We also have 2 x MMS BUE 2014 servers configured to use the above server.

Our backup process is designed as follows:

Backup our virtual and physical servers to one of the MMS servers.  We'll then duplicate the jobs to the second MMS server (which incidently is located at another office).  There's also a step required to push the data to tape once per week also but I'll leave that for another day.

The problem I'm having is simple.  Despite following the KB articles I'm unable to convert an MMS (either of them) into an LMS.  The reason I want to convert an MMS to an LMS is that I'm testing what would happen if we lost our head office (and thus the CAS server).  To simulate a failure I'm switching off the CASO server.  The problem with following the KB article is that after my CASO server is not detected I'm prompted to select a SQL instance - however there is no option to choose a SQL server, just an OK button and then we're back to square one.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  I've uninstalled and re-install BUE across the whole environment several times.  The only thing I've not done is to uninstall the OS and start from scratch.

Thanks,

Danny

I need a solution

Hi @ all,

in our company domain we have several laptop computers with clean installation of windows 8.1 pro (x64).

On this machines DLO agent (productversion = "7.6" - buildversion = "76593a") are installed and our issue is that the DLO agent is not starting automaticly when a user login.

Via the task manager we already enabled the autostart function for DLO and set the UAC to minimum level, but nothing changed since rebooted and sign in again.

We do NOT have this issue on machines that runnig Windows 7. 

Please help us to solve this issue, many thanks.

I need a solution

Hi everyone

So I discovered a problem with our BackupExec12 setup, installed on Windows Server 2008 and has remote agent installed on all our other servers running 2008 and 2008 R2.

Having needed to perform a file restore (first one since I started the job) i kept getting authentication errors, so I reset the backupexec user password in our domain controller and restarted the backupexec services which accepted it and came backup ok.

The problem I'm getting is when I try a resource credential test/ or actually try running the restore I get the following errors:

"The data was not able to be validated"

any ideas?

Server 2008 DC/Exchange Server Converted VM Results in Black Screen with Mouse Cursor Just Before Logon

$

I need a solution

We have a server 2008 machine which is a DC and running Exchange (I'm aware this is poor practice, it's inherited). I've been backing it up using Backup Exec 2014 SP1. I recently attempted a VM conversion from a point in time, which ran successfully. The resulting VM will not allow me to log in, however. The server boots into Windows, but the logon screen never comes up. It shows a black screen, and a mouse cursor is the only indication that it's doing anything at all. After some time, the Windows screen saver will kick in, indicating that something is happening in the background. I can also get the StickyKeys dialog up by hitting Shift five times.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

DXI path to tape NDMP restores

$

I need a solution

Hi All,

I have a configuration whereby netbackup backs up to a Quantum DXI disk pool and then path to tape backups (NDMP) through the DXI to an i6k for tape archiving.

My plan is to remove the i6k from the DXI and connect it to a newly added NBU appliance and then use it as an STU. Problem is how to restore my NDMP tape backups once I have removed the lib from the DXI. If I duplicated the images on tape back to the DXI and then duplicated these to a tape drive configured as a normal STU (i.e. not NDMP, would I then get a non NDMP backup format which I could restore independent of the DXI.

Thanks in advance

Steve
