DR file cannot updating

[Ray_Chiang_2]

Hi
I am using BE9.1 on Win2K3 server. My problem is the DR file cannot update after successful backup. I tried to read http://support.veritas.com/docs/265503 support document. It suggest to check Global Exclude. I have not set any Global Exclude, but I exclude some folder an individual job.
I checked the other Win2K3 server which installed BE9.1. It just exclude some folder and no Global Exclude. It has not this problem. Any suggestion?


Thanks a lot.
Ray

Hello,

To get DR file updated, it is necesarry that no files or folders should be excluded or should get excluded. Therefore, please ensure that you include all the folders and files. The dr file would get updated.

Hope this clarifies the issue.

I have the other Win2K3 server which also has some folders be excluded, but the DR file also can be updated. Why I got different result?

Hello,

As mentioned the .dr file will not get updated if any files or folders are excluded. This is intended functionality of Backup Exec. If you try restore from this, it may not restore successfully.

Do you mean Drive C should not exclude any files or folders? Or All Drives should not be excluded?
It's because I excluded some folders in Drive C(e.g. temp, recycler, quarantine folder of antivirus) while I have done IDR testing. I can successful update DR file and restore by IDR.

Hello,

With Backup Exec 9.1 none of the drives should be excluded. If you upgrade to 10.0 then there is a fonctionality to update the dr file even with exclusions.


Thanks.
