Default "Disaster Job" in BE Exec 3600 appliance
Dear community,
I am being posed by my customer a question which I am unable to answer. Would appreciate if anyone can help me out with this question.
Question:
1. In the Backup exec console, there is a default "Disaster backup" job set up by Symantec. (Cant remember the exact name of the job. It says DO_NOT_MODIFY.) What is this job for?
2. Imagine this scenario. There is only 1 production site. All servers are backed up to the appliance. What happens if the appliance goes down? Is there anyway to retrieve the backup data in the appliance?
Thanks in advance!
Hi
1. In the Backup exec console, there is a default "Disaster backup" job set up by Symantec. (Cant remember the exact name of the job. It says DO_NOT_MODIFY.) What is this job for?
Ans:
That is the default job which takes the backup of backup exec database (BEDB).
2. Imagine this scenario. There is only 1 production site. All servers are backed up to the appliance. What happens if the appliance goes down? Is there anyway to retrieve the backup data in the appliance?
Ans
It is unpredictable depending on the nature of cause for failure on the appliance. Drives are Raid configured so at some extent it has it own fault toelrant capabilities to prevent a disaster itself
Moroever you can read admin guide on disaster recovery part which covers more details
Hope that helps
Thanks
