Updated my appliance and 4 MMS servers on Friday. BE engine crashed at weekend and the CASO server lost its share to all MMS servers local dedupe storage rendering all jobs useless as it cannot see any storage.
Noramlyl I woudl wait to see user reaction to such a big update but I was forced to update to SP2 as Symantec refused to look at my other exisitng problems until I upgraded to SP2. As usual it fixed 1 problem and created 10 more.
Not good enough.

I was looking forward to seeing this feature again, last seen in BE2010:

https://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/ability-bundle-multiple-servers-single-jobMaybe I just need to look harder, or wait for "R2".
Welp, back to testing SP2 with my multiple clicks clicker mouseā¢ I guess. - CraigVModerator
...this release was only to address platform support. The rest will come with the next release of the software.
Thanks!

CraigV Address Platform support only ??? I thought this release was supposed to add back in some old features Like Jobs with Multiple servers one tape
don't say I have to wait longer I might as well move to different software when license renewal is due

Guess there is nothing in it for me the small user, I read these earlier, Server level Backups as opposed to Job Backups are killing me and resourses... I tried most of the work arounds to no avail My Library recently died buig time and I ghot a real deal on LTO6 x 24 but still it wants to do tape per machine
Previous Blogs with Symantec people on suggested this needed to be put right in SP2 However nothing appears to have been included and its all about Windows 2012 and Hyper-v neither of which I currently have. I have used BE (or predecessors) for nearly 20 years and 2012 is a killer Reminicant of ME and Vista

...chat to the guys on those blogs (the Symantec employees) and ask them for details. The functionality is supposed to come back with the next release.
Thanks!

Hello Imawson,
I see that you are looking for a way to perform a multiple server backup on one tape. I'd request you to refer to the following link to get more details on it: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH189306
