EV closed partitions
Hi,
Feel like I'm missing something obvious, so hopefully a simple query.
I have a closed email and journal partition in EV [8.0.4.1991] that I need to remove from the regular backup schedule, they will still be backed up, but only monthly.
From BE2010 R3 I expanded out the EV SITE and removed the tick from the closed partitions (there's a closed partition udner the Journal Store that's been removed form the selections as well);
Just logged on to have a look, and best I can tell, from the job progress, it's still backing up the closed partition via a SQL selection somehow?
Thought this would be as straightforward as removing the closed partition selections, but evidently I'm missing something :)
Still searching through the forums, but not spotted anything along these lines as yet, so any help appreciated.
Thanks
From the screenshot of the detailed selection list it appears that the EV site is actually present twice:
One is showing:
EV-SIT::\\EV\xxxxxx-SQL-0001\EVSITE1\*.*/SUBDIR
The other one is:
EV-SIT::\\EV080\xxxxxx-SQL-0001\EVSITE1\*.*/SUBDIR
Note that this selection has '080' in the resource type for EV. When Backup Exec or EV are upgraded when EV backups are configured it is possible to see the EV resources show up twice in the Backup Exec selection details. The exceptions show the format without the '080' so I'm think they aren't having any effect with the other line present. My recommendation would be to do the following steps:
1. In the Backup Exec console expand out the EV agent selections.
2. Delete every entry starting with the lower most entry. (Do not just delete
the top level entry) then close out of the selection list.
3. Restart the services on the Backup Exec server and the EV server(s). This should cause the EV selections to show up once again and available to be selected.4. Add the EV selections back into your job and add the exception. This time the EV-SIT selection should only show up once along with the exclusion lines.
