Backup VNXe 3150 files on Backup Exec 15
Hello all, how are you, Happy New Year first of all. Here am I with an issue where we don't know how to solve it, and it would be the following: We have a VNXe 3150 where we storage some files and ...

You do not install AWS on the NAS. The AWS licence is a licencing requirement to backup a remote device like a NAS.
When you backup a device via NDMP, you backup the entire volume. You cannot choose files/folders to backup. You only get the choice to choose particular files/folders during restores.
The AWS part I got mixed up, but still, though not having any licence installed (which on backing up would give me an error due not having the licence), wouldn't I be able to see which are the files that are inside the CIFS share from the NAS? Since those are not displayed.
On the image attached it is the NAS with its folders, but the Folders highlighted are the ones with information/files/folders inside it but when I select one of them it shows it has nothing on it. Would that be due not having the NDMP licence installed?
Are those line highlighted in yellow volume names within the NDMP device (that happen to also be share names)
Asking the question as that screenshot looks like NDMP selections and not CIFS selection
BTW when you first create a remote server object as either NDMP or CIFS to change to the other type you have to delete the object and recreate it (and before you recreate you have to either disable NDMP or enable NDMP on the NDMP device itself, depending on the direction of the change.
Basically:
- share level (CIFS) backups have to have NDMP/NDMPD disabled on the storage device
- the NDMP option backups have to have NDMP/NDMPD enabled on the storage device.
Those line highlighted are the shared folder we have on our NAS which originally were CIFS share, but then in attempt to start backing them up we enabled the NDMP server option (which of course due not having the NDMP licence installed might be the reason why it failed the backups).
Sorry reopening this, but fortunately we were able to at least see the backup following what was said here: https://community.emc.com/message/964295 (and apoligize if I got mixed up with something)
But for some reason when folders are selected and job ran, it took forever and total files to be backed up are around 400gb, however at one point the backup used over 2tb storage. Any clue on what would be?
Also I got error V-79-57344-4873 which according to https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000041359 is due folders changing names, but there was no change done in the meanwhile, I have yet to check the NDMP logs, but the link provided seems too vague.
