Backup Exec 2012 - where to find manuals, videos and trainings.

Hi,

Thanks,
Let me add this video related to disaster recovery testing (re-installation of BE2012 server using SDR:

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/videos/be2012-simplified-disaster-recovery-backup-exec-server

Regards

Budget approved to replace Back-up Exec and all things Symantic!

After 12.5 versions and x number of owners, you would think BE could backup data from a local disk to an attached tape drive more then twice in a row without errors.   (I know, it was all hardware!  Don't have to hear it anymore tech support!!!!)

I am free!

GOOD-BYE!

good-bye........

finally

sigh  :)

Hi Altimate,

Thank you for the video it was really helpful.

Hello Hwegener,

What exact problems did you face with Symantec products.

Is it possible to specify the products you had issues with?

Thank you.

Hello Dears,

Thanks. Can you please also post some detailed documentation about BEMCLI with code examples relating to PowerShell specially for the users who used BEMCMD in previous releases.

There is a BEMCLI shortcut list http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH181699. It has 7 docs at the moment, but I am adding to it as I find things people are trying to do.

The best way to get examples is using get-help cmdlet -example

each BEMCLI cmdlet has use examples.

To get a list of available commands run get-becommand. This will list all 223 cmdlets which is a little much to proccess. Luckily get-becommand supports wildcards.

To see all the cmdlets that have backup in them:

BEMCLI>get-becommand *backup*

Once you find a cmdlet you want to see examples for use get-help:

BEMCLI> get-help New-BEBackupDefinition -Examples

NAME
    New-BEBackupDefinition

SYNOPSIS
    Creates a new backup definition in Backup Exec.

    -------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 --------------------------

    C:\PS> Get-BEAgentServer -Local | New-BEBackupDefinition -BackupJobDefault BackupToDisk | Save-BEBackupDefinition

    These commands create a new backup definition that backs up the entire local computer using the BackupToDisk defaults.
    -------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 --------------------------

    C:\PS> Get-BEAgentServer -Local | New-BEBackupDefinition -BackupJobDefault BackupToDisk -FileSystemSelection C:\Windows\*,D:\* -SystemStateSelection Include | Save-BEBackupDefinition

    These commands create a new backup definition that backs up the C:\Windows directory, the D: drive, and the System State of the local computer.
    -------------------------- EXAMPLE 3 --------------------------

    C:\PS> Get-BEAgentServer -Local | New-BEBackupDefinition -BackupJobDefault BackupToDisk | Remove-BEBackupTask * | Add-BEDifferentialBackupTask | Save-BEBackupDefinition

    These commands create a new backup definition that backs up the local computer with an initial full and a differential backup.

Get-help also has additional switchs that will give you even more info about the selected cmdlet.

to see how to use get-help:

BEMCLI> get-help get-help

Was there some thing in particular you could use an example for?
 

It's helpful for all.....

- vicky

Could you provide an example of a command line that would be run on a managed server to launch a job that was created on the CASO?  BE-GetJob does not list any of these jobs...

Here are some links on CLI that are also on Connect - hope this helps!

Thanks Kirk for the great info!
