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.C:\Program Files\Veritas\Backup Exec\bengine.exe / <add key="ExcludedNetworks" value="10.X.X.X/24"

monthly report possible?
How do I define the filters if I want a monthly report on all successful orders? First I have 'Start time was accessed IN LAST 31 days' and linked it with AND with 'Order status = Completed (successful)'. But then I get a report in which the same order is listed again and again every second. No, I only want one line per order. My field definition: Start time, order name, total size of data, order duration, order status, error code, error category, error text. Please remember that a month sometimes has 30 days and sometimes 31 days.
