My old disk storage is dying and I acquired a new disk storage and added it to Backup Exec. I am trying to copy the backup sets from the old storage to the new storage, but given the number of files, this is tedious. How do I use BEMCLI to do this?
If the OLD Storage is still working and visible in BE then the preferred method is
- create a new B2D folder on the new storage
- In BE / Storage tab, go to the old B2D folder
- right click on the backup sets you want to keep and select duplicate
- As target device you select the new B2D.
This will duplicate / create a new backup set on the new disk.
Thanks RogRubin. I know how to do this through the GUI, but wanted to know if this was possible through the BEMCLI. If it is, how would I do this?
I'm not sure the exact commands you'd use to do this with BEMCLI, but I would recommend as a starting point refer to the BEMCLI help file "BEMCLI_en.chm" located in the Backup Exec installation folder (its pretty comprehensive).
Maybe 'Add-BEDuplicateStageBackup Task'
I'd have thought - bearing in mind you can right click on multiple backup sets at a time - that the Gui would be the way to go. However good luck with the BEMCLI method.
