Hi,
Requesting for your assitance regarding our issue, its almost 3 months since this problem occur and until now the problem still exist. The main cause was the storage of our backup goes offline, after we restart the services, the storage goes online again and after 7 hours the storage goes offline again.
The storage of our backup is in different Server. We tried some troubleshooting and contanted our support but still the same.
Is there anyone here experience the problem? What is your solution?
Please share...
Thank you.

Hello there,
Backup to disk storage goes into offline due to various reasons ( usually environment specific ) :-
Device is offline means that Backup Exec has lost communication with the device.
a). Check physical connectivity with disk enclsoure ( whether it is DAS, SAN or iSCSI )
b). Check if we have enough space on the B2D volume
c). As you mentioned "The storage of our backup is in different Server" ) it means... B2D is configured over network ? Is network connection consistent ? Check windows system and application event logs by looking at windows system and application event logs will hep us to isolate the issue. You may also need to look at adamm log to get info related to offline B2D, here is link to how to read the ADAMM.LOG file, and what various errors mean within the log.
