Backup Exec - copy mode backup
Hi,
I am running Backup Exec 2012 on a windows server. Backups are run every 3 hours using Backup Exec System Recovery 2010 to a NAS. These backups are incremental, therefore relying on the files archive bit to know if it should be included in the next backup or not. Each night Backup Exec is backing up the complete server to tape.
Unfortunately the two products Backup Exec and System Recovery do not appear to work nicely together as one will lock files or will be denied access to resources that the other wants.
Ideally I would like to do the job using Backup Exec only. The backup to the NAS will be managed by one job. A separate job will do a COPY backup (i.e. not reset the archive bit) to tape each night. As it is one program that is doing the two jobs, if there is a conflict of resources at least it will be aware of the reason for it and will wait rather than fail.
Is there a way to achieve what I am requesting?
Thanks in advance for your help.
