Backup Exec 2015 and SQL Database files missing
Hello,
my collegue created a backup job in backup exec 2015 (backup C: and D: of a SQL Server) (looks like the SQL Database files a missing, but why?)
One of the RAID Harddisk had Smart Errors and meanwhile the server didn´t start/boot and we need to do a recovery.
1) We noticed, that Backup Exec didn´t saved our running SQL Databases (*.MDF / *.LDF) Files only only the other files in the SQL Folder.
We have a Demo Version of Backup Exec 2015, because we would like to switch from Acronis to Symantec. I can´t ask the collegue at the moment, but I think he didn´t created a separat SQL Database Backup JOB.
2) Am I am right, I can´t do a complete recovery of C: and D: to a different hardware? (like with symantec system recovery)?
thanks and best regards
Peter
A complete recovery like SSR isn't possible with BE, but you should be able to restore files and folders to another server with a couple of additional steps to get this working. Don't do it in a production environment, but test that this works in yours first.
Thanks!
