32bit Server / 64bit Remote Agent - No Software Compression

Hi,

I'm running BE 11d on a 32bit Server (W2003 32bit) and using the 64bit Remote Agent to backing up a W2003 x64 system.

when using the software compression on a backup-to-disc scenario it seems to have no effect, the resulting bkf-file has the same size as the original data (in fact it's even slightly larger).
when backing up a 32bit system with the 32bit RA the software compression works just fine!

Are there any known problems with the x64 RAW or with the combination of 32bit system and 64bit RA?

  • Hi Thomas,

    Thanks for the post. This is a known issue at this time, and will be fixed in the next release of Backup Exec. There are currently no plans to address this by way of hotfix in this 11.0.6235 build.

    Thanks.
