Backup from NAS to Tape fails with "No connection to Remote-Computer"

Hello,

 

I want to Backup our NAS (without Remote Agent) over CIFS / Network Share to Tape. When I start the job, it fails after 1-2 minutes with an error massage, that Backup Exec could not start a connection to the remote-computer and perhaps it's because the remote-computer is not in the choosen subnet ... and so on. (Sorry for the missing original message, I'm a german user with german Backup Exec)

 

BUT! Now there comes the funny thing: I can successfully backup the same remote-computer to disk! Also, I can successfully backup local files from the backup server to the tape. Only the backup from the NAS - over the backup server - to tape fails.

So, tape-library is working fine, also the connection between NAS and backup server, credentials / logon user works fine, etc.

 

The problem is, that the space on our backup server is to small to backup to disk and duplicate to tape ... Just thought, that it's not possible to directly backup from NAS to Tape, but I don't hope so ;-) Also thought about, the tape backup is to fast for a backup from NAS (over 1 Gbit Network), but that should anyway, shouldn't it?

 

 

To our environment / configuration:

- Backup Exec 2015

- On Windows Server 2012 R2

- To HP 1/8 Tape Library Autoloader LTO6 over SAS (i guess a 6250 Modell ...)

- From NAS Synology RackStation RS3614xs+ with DSM 5.0-4528 Update 2 with 1 Gbit LAN

- Over CIFS / Network Share

 

Thanks in advance!

  • Set to use any available protocol as well instead of explicitly using IPv4.

    If this doesn't help, does adding host file entries help ? If not, would recommend to log a formal case for an engineer to have a look @ your setup.
