Hi Colin,
Thanks for your response. Also I appreciate your note on running Backup Exec in a VM, but we are actually running it on a physical server just used for running Backup Exec and connecting to our tape library.
The backup to disk side of things is using a Synology RS815+ and is connected to the Backup Server via iSCSI target.
So should I be able to recover individual files? It seems really long-winded to have to restore a stage the entire VM for one file.
OK so in the job logs for the disk backups, does it list the media as starting with B2D or IMG?
The media starts with B2D
OK so disk based media created by GRT enabled sets should start with IMG (and be folders instead of files) if you only have files that start with BKF it is either not a GRT selection in the job or Backup Exec is being forced to operate the disk system as some form of tape emulation.
Did you install this Backup Exec server, or was a different administrator involved as if you didn't intall it then maybe something has been set in the past that should not have been left enabled.
This was installed by another administrator who has left the company, and I'm the one who has to try and solve the problem, and I don't really know anything about Backup Exec, especially when it comes to backing up the VM's.
Do you have any idea if there's some addtional options I should be checking that might be effecting it?
Really appreciate your help so far.
Thanks
James
