Hello Andrew Lomakin,
Even in case of backup exec for windows servers the cache file is created on the server being snapped.
1. please make sure that the cache file is clearing after each backup.
2. There is no antivirus scanning the cache file location.
3. that there is enough space to store the cache file on the destination server.
- In tools>wizards>AOFO wizard you may change the default location of the cache file.
4. If you have not specified a location for the cache file, Backup Exec will attempt to locate the cache file on volumes other than the source volumes. These volumes must meet the following requirements. If any of these criteria are not met, the cache file is created on the source volume.
5. For your question on cache file size:
If the cache file is located on the volume that is being snapped,
Backup Exec uses the following calculations:
For the initial size, Backup Exec calculates 10 percent of the used space and 50 percent of the free space, and then uses the smaller number. For the maximum size, Backup Exec calculates 30 percent of the used space and 90 percent of the free space, and then uses the smaller number.
If the cache file is located on a different volume than the volume that is being snapped, Backup Exec uses the following calculations:
The initial size is zero. For the maximum size, Backup Exec
calculates 30 percent of the free space on the target volume and
uses that figure.
The maximum size cannot be smaller than the initial size. If the
maximum size is calculated to be smaller than the initial size,
Backup Exec sets the maximum size to match the initial size. Both the initial size and the maximum size must be at least 50 MB.
