I don't see Equallogic in the Compatibility list. Are you trying to do a offhost backup of Hyper-v ws 2008 server with BE 2010. Can you please briefly explain the setup and how you want to set it up

Symantec BE 2010 (ADBO) Offhost backup in Equallogic:
1.backup file successful
2.backup hyper-v failed

Equallogic in the Compatibility list (http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/329256.htm Page:24)

The process for configuring Backup Exec for off-host backups includes:
1. Installing the Dell EqualLogic Host Integration Tools on the Backup Exec Media Server
2. Configuring the Backup Exec Media Server for access to the iSCSI array, and snapshots that are being protected.
3. Installing the Backup Exec options on the media server and the remote server that is being protected using off-host backups.
4. Configuring and running off-host backup jobs.

I have the same issue.
It works with "simple" files but with Hyper-V VM, I have this error.

Nobody has the solution?

Offhost backup works for Equallogic, all arrays!

 

However, BackupExec ONLY supports it for files, exchange, and SQL.  No offhost backup for vmware or hyper-v :(  Which really sucks!
