Hi,

We have a Red Hat server 5 with Samba, for area networks, before the migration of Symantec backup exec 10R3 all backup go to 5 LTO Utrium 5, after migration to Symantec backup exec 12 no...

I observed that the data of this server with:

[root@mar bin]# rpm -qa VRTSralus
VRTSralus-14.0.1798-0

Not compress the data on the data cartridge, i only have harware compresion if it is suported.

its normal?

Thanks

Esteve Grassot.

Is your Backup Exec fully patched with the latest updates? If not, please run LiveUpdate to make sure SP1a is installed.

If you do not have the bandwidth to run LiveUpdate, alternatively you can download and install the latest Device Drivers Installer:

Backup Exec 2012 revision 1798 Hotfix 189571, Device Driver Installer DDI20120615 (July 10th, 2012) - http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH189571

What output device are you using?

What happens when you backup other servers/data onto the devie?  Do you get software compression?
