offline backup to disk folder
On the media server Windws Server 2008 R2, Backup Exec 2010 R3 are running. I have created some shared folders on a NAS and it is used as Backup-to-disk folders by backup jobs. Every time I restart the server these Backup-to-disk devices go to the offline state. I have to manually reset them to online. If I forget to set them online the backup jobs fail. Is it a feature or can I configure to auto online state?
Hi there,
Backing up to a NAS isn't the easiest thing to achieve. Read the TNs below for more information:
BE 2010 R2 HCL

NAS Compliancy with BE 2010

Run the B2Dtest tool to verify that the NAS is supported:

You can also try the following:
1. Making sure that the BESA account used for the BE services is also the same as on the NAS.
2. If your NAS supports iSCSI, turn that on and map a LUN to the backup server. THis will allow you to back up to a locally attached drive.
Thanks!
