CCTV backup issue

akaw
Level 4

Hi,

 

We are using Symantec back up exe 2012. I having an issue regarding the backing of video in my CCTV. We want only to backup the newly captured video, 

But, the Symantec stil copying all video from old to new that's why the duration of backup is more than one day. I already created the incremental policy but still the same.  Let me know if this options is correct

You don't have to use the include/exclude section.  Just select the CCTVware directory from the main backup selection screen and the sub-directories are automatically covered.

If you have AV scanning and are using modified time method for your backup, you might want to take note of this condition.

Hi PKH,

 

I already disabled the AV.  Backing the old video still going, I want to backup only the newly recorder video

What have you selected?  If you have changed your selection, you should do a full backup before doing any incremental backups.

Where is this CCTVware directory located?  Is it on a NAS or is it on a local harddisk of a server?  If it is the latter, what is the OS of the server and is there a RAWS/RALUS loaded on the server?

What have you selected?-- I selected all CCTVware

should do a full backup before doing any incremental backups.--Already success for full backup

Using increament jobs is still backing the old video although it was already backup.

Is it on a NAS or is it on a local harddisk of a server?--it on a local harddisk of a server

If you have not push out the remote agent to this server, you are restricted to full full backups since you are backing up a share (based on your earlier screenshot).  See the solution statement in the document
