How to perform Backupexec 11D (7170) automated database dumps

[Paul_Basilio]

Does anybody know how to perform automated database dumps .

I have run the beutility.exe to do manual dumps ,but require the system to do this automatically.

According to Symantec this is perfomed during the database maintenance ,but I have 6 servers deployed and no dumps are being performed during the maintenace process.

The bedb_dat.bak file only changes its timestamp when I do manual dumps.

The file is in the  \BKUPEXEC\Data folder.

Is this the correct file for the database dumps?

Thanks in advance

Paul

Paul,

I believe that bedb_dat.bak and bedb_log.bak are the backup files used by BE10, and that BE11d uses BEDB.bak instead.

My previous version files are timestamped from the date I upgraded, but my BEDB.bak file is timestamped this morning.

And yes, it's the Data directory where it gets stored.

Thanks Hywel ,I was looking at the wrong files.

The backup is using BEDB.bak as you said.

The automated dumps are working.
