hi

we have  problem with restoring Files from tape.  (VMWare backup) backup is running in SAN-Transport mode (backup jobs are successfull) Backup Destination is on Tape (D2T) but when we want to restore files and folder from tape it's took about 7-8 hours then we get a successfull restore but no file is restored . (no error , vmdk disk is 3TB we have 6 TB for Stagging folder )

  • Backup exec 15 RTM/ Windows server 2012 R2
  • VMWare ESXi 5.1 / VM windows server 2008 R2

thanks

You should be using the final release of BE 15 and not the RTM version

Also, did you update the remote agents in the VM's to BE 15?

Hope these are GPT-Basic disks and not GPT-Dynamic as the latter does not support GRT.

Secondly, where are you restoring the files to ?

to a local drive of backup exec server.

There was an issue with an older release of BE, where the files were instead getting restored to the root of C:\ instead of the location specified in the backup job.

Would you post the restore job here as well ? Thanks.
