Any BE22 support for OES 2024.4 with SLES 15 SP4?
Hi, I need to migrate an OES 2018 environment that is being backed up with BE22 to one that is running OES 2024.4 which runs on SLES 15 SP4. There are various constrainsts meaning I will have to run and backup the OES2028 and OES 2024.4 systems at the same time. The latest BE22 RALUS and patches (up to ralus1193.1626HF311011 installs in OES 2024.4/SLES 15 SP4 but when I add try to add the Linux server to BackupExec the ralus program crashes and exists during the last stage. Is it possible to run BE23 and backup OES2018 servers running the BE22 ralus? Any thoughts about what I can do?
Using past Primary Keys
We have a backup from 2017 that was created with a different version and primary key then what we have available today. When we try to catalog the tape, we receive an error message basically indicating the previous primary key is required. We do not know the pass phrase, but we do have the *.dak file for this backup as it was exported and saved. Is there any way to import or associate this key with our current version which is 21.2. If we go to manage keys it only allows for the creation of new ones. Is a new install is performed can this key be used? Thank you, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Best and affordable online storage for BE 24
Hello everyone. I don't have a ton of experience with backups in general, but I am helping a client get setup to back up their server to a cloud container using BE 24. The software itself is configured, and I did create an account with an online storage provider (backblaze b2), but I have been having an issue with getting the account to login (error E00099B3F). Veritas support showed that it may be an expired certificate of authority. I haven't had the best experience with the BB support, which leads me to the actual question. Does anyone have any recommendations on who to use for cloud storage specifically for BE? The server specs that are to be backed up is 200GB boot and 2 TB storage, so not a lot of storage space would be needed I wouldn't think. I would like to configure it to do an incremental backup nightly. I'm not even sure of how to price that out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
NetApp Filer - CIFS shares backup failure
Hi there. We have a NetApp A150 filer with ONTAP 9.15 C mode as storage. I upgraded BE to version 24 in November and then we had a licensing problem and it was downgraded back to version 23. Everything was working fine before. As soon as I downgraded (fresh install and configuration), everything keeps failing. I managed to fix the Vcenter backup but the file share still fails, nothing has changed on the NetApp side. Support is unhelpful, pointing out that version 9.15 has not been tested. The error message is : Monday, January 6, 2025 12:51:18 PM - V-79-57344-3844 - The Backup Exec server was unable to connect to the Remote Agent on machine "Filer name". The Backup Exec server will use the local agent to try to complete the operation. WARNING: Backup Exec servers cannot completely protect remote Windows-based servers or workstations unless the Backup Exec Remote Agent is installed and running on each remote Windows-based server or workstation to be protected. Data loss can occur if the Remote Agent is not running while backing up remote Windows-based computers. Please refer to the documentation or online help for more information. Backup Exec server is running Backup Exec version 23.0.1250.0. There is/was no agent installed on filer ever. If anyone has experienced the same issue I would appreciate some suggestions. Thank you in advance
Backup Exec 20.3 Ala Carte License Update to Simple Licensing Backup Exec
Hello Experts, First of all, I am going to give you brief information related to my scenario. I have Backup Exec 20.3 on windows supporting 5 windows server with Ala Carte License. I want to buy Simple License Core Pack to change my Existing "Ala Carte license". My problem is, The current Backup Exec Server version is only 20.3 and the Backup Exec Simple License is featured on Backup Exec 22.2 My Plan is to Install new Backup Exec Server with Version 22.2 and activate the Simple License Core Pack then restore the Catalog of the old Backup Exec . Is this Possible? Hoping to receive clarification or different approach for this matter Thanks you in Advance.Tape is not appendable despite having alot of free space available.
I am new to BackupExec but we are running into an issue with our tapes. We have a few servers doing a full backup to disk once a week, then the full backup gets duplicated to tape. When the Duplicate job comes up, it prompts to insert over writable media instead of just appending to the existing tape. So far only 2.4TB is used of 8TB available however, it will not append. The OPP is set to one year and the APP is set to Infinite allow append. So I don't know what would be blocking the append. Do the disk backups have to be in the same media set as the tape backups? Currently, backups on the disk are only protected for 1 week whereas they are protected for 1 year on tape. Let me know if there is more info needed.
