B2D2T Queries
Hi All,
I am running the latest update of Backup Exec 2014 on a windows 2012 R2 Server.
I have recently begun looking into configuring B2D2T Backups and have the following questions in regards to it:
1. When backing up to disk and duplicating to tape, does the duplicate come from the disk backups, or from the original server?
2. If I were to set the B2D2T job to backup straight after to the tape, would the verify for the first instance finish prior to moving on?
3. I would like to start taking differential backups of the exchange full. Would removing the full tape backup disrupt this? Or does it backup based on the catalogs? If it does not, would it be possible to make the differential backup the disk copy (Or would this cause issues due to the "Only manage disk backups within Backup Exec" rule).
Appreciate any advice.
Kind Regards,
Steven
1) Since you are restoring from an Exchange backup, BE will stage the tape backup set to disk before it will do the actual restore. You need to ensure that you have sufficient disk space for this staging or duplicate the tape backup set to disk and doing the restore from the disk backup set.
2) It is a bit more complicated because you are doing an Exchange differential backup. This requires the full backup set and the Exchange database.
