Explanation of BE 2012

Hi, can somebody help answer me with some explanation on Backup Exec. We are still using Backup Exec 2010 R2 and with it we had an issue everytime when we had to do a restore of a 700GB plus database...

    Hi,

     

    Much over muchness really. I haven't seen anything around this on BE 2012 being logged on the forum. However, what error message did you get (I could restore a 4.5TB SAP R/3 DB based on SQL to a QAS server with no hassles).

    Whether or not you get the same issue with BE 2012 is open to interpretation. Download the trial version, install it and try running a restore.

    That said, BE 2010 R2 was replaced by BE 2010 R3 which fixed a number of issues. Consider the free upgrade (you can use your current licenses) and try the restore again.

    Also make sure your AV isn't actively scanning the BE services, and if so, put in exclusions for them.

    Trialware download:
