Backup-to-Disk Size limitation

[Korey_Verlsteff]

Is there a limitation for the partition size for backup-to-disk? I have a 6TB (1 big partition) Promise VTrak 15100 box hooked up directly via SCSI to the backup server. Windows can see it just fine and I can read/write files to it with no problems. When I try to backup using the b2d folder veritas will just queue the job indefinably. When I do a test run the only thing that fails is:

Capacity check status : Failed

Hi there,

are you able to create the backup-2-disk folder in BEWS? Does it show you the drive name etc?
Check if the b2d folder is shown as online?

http://support.veritas.com/docs/239539 can also help you

Can NTBackup write a BKF file to this drive? I mean try running a backup using NtBackup.

Regards,
Ashutosh

Yes, I can create the b2d folder and it's status is online. NTBackup can backup to it just fine.

What size of the "Maximum size of the B2D files" did you set. I had failure issues because the size was set to big.

Hello,


1. Please check if the backup is targetted specifically to this backup to disk folder or is it targetted to 'all drives'.


2. The disk has been formatted using what format.


3. As mentioned in the last post what is the seize for the backup to dik folder.


4. What are the selections made in the advanced selections.

2. NTFS
3. Default -1GB, 100 set per

On a side note I setup a b2d folder on the local 80gb drive. Works like it should.

The VTrak 15100 is an external RAID Storage connected through SCSI

http://www.promise.com/product/product_detail_eng.asp?segment=VTrak&product_id=115

Device Manager sees the device as a disk drive. It's listed as a Promise 15 DIsk RAID 5 SCSI Disk Device.
