System Recovery 2013 with SP2

Hi Chris,

I am still awaiting a response.

Thank you.

hi Trace,

I also have this settings on all the servers i use SSR for. When i use external USB directly attached, this is effective but not on the NAS devices. I use domain credentials as well on the NAS.

Hi Nene,

You don't have to delete manually old backups when using Symantec System Recovery (SSR). There is an option to configure the system to automatically optimize storage according an amount of GBs that you plan for each server that is backed up using SSR.

Tasks -> Manage Backup Destination -> Settings...

Here is an example:

Hi Chris,

Have you had time to look at the zipped logs? I really need help to try in resolving this.

Hi Chris,

Hello Chris,

hi Chris,

thank you for your help so far.

I have 2 backup sets alright. But when the next base is to run, it does not remove the old sets. i have to manually delete to create space.

When was the last time this happened?

Please provide the following log files:

\ProgramData\Symantec\SYMANTEC SYSTEM RECOVERY\LOGS\Symantec System Recovery.log & Symantec System Recovery.dbg

I have 2 backup sets alright. But when the next base is to run, it does not remove the old sets. i have to manually delete to create space.

In the manage destination i already selected Automatically optimize disk storage.

i believe when i set a threshold of 500GB for instance, it should delete the old backup and start another base when it is about to exceed the threshold.

Rather than the manual deletion.

The recovery points just stops altogether and i hv missed backup notifications whenever i login to the server.
