Hi
I have a Server 2012 R2 Hyper V host server running backup exec 15 (14.2 Rev 1180) v-ray edition.
One of my guest OS is Server 2008 R2 with Exchange 2010.
Although the virtual server backups are completing successfully exchange logs are not being truncated.
Please advise.
thanks
Check the event logs inside the Exchange server to see if ESE and / or VSS requests are having issues (and to confirm that such requests are bing made)
Also note that the Hyper-V tools and the remote agent must be installed within the Exchange server
Exchange VSS Writer (instance 9daa5b0e-b8c7-44cd-8a90-3da52822c0d2:107) has successfully completed the copy or differential backup of database 'Accounts DB'. No logfiles were truncated for this database.
As far as i can tell in backup exec settings the system is set for full backup. How do i check this?
thanks
Copy or differential backup do not truncate logs so that is the cause. (Only full and log/incremental backups truncate logs)
This will either be a setting in the BE job you are running, or something within the VSS settings of the Exchange server
Not sure if thus is te same in BE 15, but BE 16 has a setting called
"Use VSS Copy backup"
as mentioned in
http://www.veritas.com/docs/000109164
Which controls it
HI Colin, where in 16 is this setting?
thanks
in the VMware settings of the job (as it says in the article)
